Vote Fred Flintstone out!!

Hell, get rid of all the city commissioners, county commissioners and the school board along with Rocky.

Corruption runs deep in this blue veined county.

This is not the first time Dailey has demonstrated contempt for women. My only surprise is that the targets of his abuse have included white women. Given Dailey’s misogyny, his must be an interesting marriage.

Dailey once adjourned a city hall meeting on me while I was speaking thereby turning off my microphone. This was no surprise to me. Black people are used to being treated this way by privileged white men.

Don’t forget that Dailey is not just any white man. He is a blue blood Leadership Tallahassee white man from the London School Economics, and a darling of the Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce. As such, he has the full backing of the Tallahassee power structure.

And its not just words. It was under Dailey’s watch that on September 5, 2020, a gestapo police riot squad was unleashed against peaceful protestors. Some of these protestors continue to face felony charges for no legitimate reason.

It was on Dailey’s watch that none of the three initial COVID-19 testing sites in Tallahassee were located in the black community.

It was on Dailey’s watch that inmates in the Leon County jail languished with no masks, no social distancing and no vaccine while Sally Bradshaw and other members of the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital board of directors received the vaccine regardless of their ages at the front of the line.

Bradshaw is the wife of Paul Bradshaw who founded the Southern Group lobbying firm which made a fortune representing the interests of big tobacco. She was also the chief of staff for Governor Jeb Bush who abolished affirmative action in Florida with a stroke of his pen.

This led to the ethnic cleansing of blacks from Florida’s “preeminent” universities with sharp declines in black freshman undergraduate enrollment at Florida State University and the University of Florida.

A Nobel prize winning economist, Dr. F.A. Hayek, wrote a book entitled “The Road to Serfdom.” What we have in Tallahassee is the road to fascism, and most of us apparently don’t even know it.

Hilarious that the Mayor’s cronies are talking about personal friends and political favors here.

How about John’s old buddy from Applebee’s steering nine figures in Drewprint money along with Maddox and the Chamber?

@ Retired City Employee,

I agree the recent ID program funneling $75,000 to Legal Aid is a boondoggle and needs to be investigated. I believe it could be a political maneuver that has questionable motives and now the association between donor and commissioner that you bring to light should be looked at.

It would make me happy if they would go back in and redo this as this is not needed at all

Why has there been no mention of Porter not recusing herself during the vote on the ID program she has been pushing? The money to run the program is going to a major donor to Porter’s campaign, who is also a close personal friend to Porter. I guess we can change the players but we cannot change the game. Our ethics office should look into this but they will not. Does the ethics office ever do anything? Maybe they should be abolished if they are just going to look the other way while our elected officials continue to line the pockets of their friends and benefactors. Is anyone else tired of our elected people rewarding their friends!

Sorry but, Apologizing in a TWEET is NOT REALLY Apologizing. Never has been and never will be. Do it right, do it at the next Meeting.

John Dailey is a rank embarrassment to our entire community. He has disappointed the many in service of his few. He is coming apart at the seams and I suspect we will see more of this conduct of his in the future as he gets closer to his legacy as being the third one-term Mayor of Tallahassee. We should go back to the rotating Mayor.

He’s not sorry. Well… he is sorry, he’s just not sorry for cutting off commissioner Porter.

Mayor Dailey needs to go, all he does make excuses for all the corruption we have been made privy to in an effort to maintain the rotten a$$ status quo. I wish he’d go back to the rock he slithered out from under and leave us to our own devices… we’d all be a lot better off for it.

The Mayor was clearly miffed and unnerved. His eye rolling and utter disdain for his board colleague was obvious, even through his face diaper. And his fist punching into his opposing hand while declaring his authoritarian power was not only dictatorial but bordered threatening. In today’s day and age, Robert’s Rules should not have to be formalized… but sometimes children do need to be told to eat their greens. I concur with Hope… Porter maintained a calm and professional demeanor… but Boss Hog blew a gasket.

… someone’s Whataburger order was getting cold :-/
