@Hope what was the other comment
NE Moderate,
In my opinion the comment should not have been removed. The candidate who has amassed the most amount of money from special interests and Insiders seems to be pushing back (or their campaign manager) to have legitimate comments removed. That is fine, but obliging them is not fair and balanced. This is the second comment removed in as many days.
This publication seems to be showing a lot of “grace” to the Chamber crowd candidates and candidates who are funded by special interests.
I believe Tallahassee Reports should repost your deleted comment in its entirety, as it was completely legitimate and informative.
Yes Hope, I didn’t think comments were deleted like that around here.
Bellamy is a big time wolf in sheep’s clothing. He is counting on Republican votes but is a friend and longtime supporter of Scott Maddox. Almost completely funded by the Chamber and developers, being run by Maddox associates, very noncommittal about actually changing anything wrong with the local gov.
Is there a comment from NE Moderate missing or am I mistaken?
I thought the comment was informative and politically accurate.
@ Megan You really need to read and understand what it means when it comes to Marcelin.

I am feeling Matlow, Dozier, and Marcelin.
I believe it is important for voters to know that David Bellamy was a Scott Maddox campaign contributor and he is FOR the Doak Campbell Stadium Blueprint $27 million giveaway to the Sky Box/Chamber kRat crowd.
He had an opportunity on this forum to answer that question and he arrogantly chose not to, but to give his cell phone number to call him. Are you kidding me? Don’t call me I’ll call you? He must answer this question even though we know what the answer is… Money will not help in this election climate. If you are Pro or voted FOR the Doak Campbell Stadium giveaway your campaign is over.
My first house was in the county when I bought it and later annexed into the city against my vote. The increase in taxes delivered exactly zero new services to the neighborhood and the only thing that really changed was that the neighborhood patrol by LCSO was replaced by TPD vehicles. We later moved back into the county and haven’t had to deal (directly) with the city for much.
I’m really grateful that I don’t have to decide which of the devils to support for city elections.
@ Tony…
Agreed. And on the county side David Hawkins has my vote!
As of right now: Matlow, Dozier and Green would have my Vote.
