Ms. Biro compromised herself by being biased which is in conflict to the rule to serve on the board.
Commissioner Porter (being a commissioner who recommended Biro) does an excellent job in expressing herself at the expense of being interrupted, dismissed, and mistreated. But I don’t know how she will overcome the fact that a rule has been broken. This could affect her 2024 reelection bid if she doesn’t get this under control.
Let’s remember this date in the bigger history. The Pearl Harbor attack was 81 years ago today. Anyone that was there, still alive today, and is old enough to remember that day is nearing (or has passed) his 100th birthday. I knew one of the servicemen that was on Pearl that day. He was a treasure!
On the lighter side, the original Star Trek movie was released 43 years ago today.
“The City of Tallahassee is seeking to get the names of the officers publicly disclosed while the attorneys for the Florida Police Benevolent Association are arguing against disclosure.”
Who at “the City” – and more importantly WHY – are these Marxicrats trying to out the LEOs?
In light of the recent confirmation that the CPRB is nothing more than an abolitionist-controlled operation of hate, I think the City of Tallahassee needs a serious case of the Blue Flu. A few days of the animals running wild and capping each other in the @ss might just expose our Marxicrat leaders to the reality of their own ignorance.
Unbelievable:
In our City/County ran by progerssive/woke @55 Nannies there was not one B on B, W on W, or any such mix of a shooting, knife attack, rape or murder yesterday or last night.
Ladies and Gentlemen this is Historic, Folkloric, and just unbelievable!!!
