Tallahassee City Commissioner Jeremy Matlow appeared on The Steve Stewart Show on Thursday. You can listen to the interview here.
Following a story by Tallahassee Reports, the Florida PBA Big Bend Chapter is calling for the removal of Citizens Police Review Board (CPRB) member Taylor Biro for “promoting an inappropriate, incendiary, and anti-police message at a recent CPRB meeting.” Get the details here.
Tallahassee Police is investigating three armed robberies that took place over two days earlier this week at convenience stores. Two of the incidents appear to be connected. The first incident occurred 2:30 a.m. Tuesday at a Circle K on Crawfordville Road, the second took place 30 minutes later at a Circle K on Jackson Bluff Road. And the third took place just before 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the Circle K on Shamrock Street West. The criminals involved in the Shamrock Circle K incident were armed and forced the store employee to forfeit the cash from the register. No arrests have yet been made.
Florida News
The latest numbers out of VISIT FLORIDA reveal a strong showing for Florida’s tourism industry. According to the state’s tourism agency, 35.1 million people visited Florida between July and September this year which is nearly a seven percent increase over the same period from last year. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called the latest numbers an indicator of “Our freedom first policies” continuing “to bring visitors to Florida from across the country and around the world.”
U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued a defeat for the DeSantis administration by halting the implementation of the “Stop WOKE Act.” The bill was part of DeSantis’ anti-woke legislative effort that he unveiled in December 2021. The bill shields Floridians who oppose Critical Race Theory in classrooms, in the workplace, and provides a legal framework to seek litigation against unwanted “indoctrination.” Walker invoked George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” calling the law “positively dystopian.” The ruling can be appealed at the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
Florida Gov. DeSantis also announced state workers will be getting additional days off for the holiday season this year. DeSantis said that state offices will be closed Nov. 23, Dec. 23, and Dec. 30.

“U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued a defeat for the DeSantis administration by halting the implementation of the “Stop WOKE Act.”
I suggest Staff look back on all the Walker rulings made against the DeSantis administration and see how many are reversed at the Appellate level. Far from being a defeat, as usual, Walker’s leftist agenda is merely a bump in the road.
Your previous article should be linked to this one. “TPD’s daily log of incidents indicated the armed robbery took place on November 9th at 10:15 p.m. at the 4800 block of Kerry Forest Parkway.”
So with these late night armed robberies, it’s kind of like having an 11pm curfew. I don’t think that is progress.
Jeremy Matlow’s people are going to kill someone at a Circle K if they are not stopped right away.
Jeremy get the Citizens Police Review Board to reach out to your people and pay them some taxpayer money to make them stop!!!!
Welcome to the woke new age of crime control in Tallahassee/Leon.
