The $7 million request for the CRA translates into a vote buying scheme and we know who all the players are. No!

@Pat — Public Universities are no longer about education or career placement, they’re about money. When I went to FSU in the 70s, full time tuition was $570/year. It’s reported to be about $6,500 today.

We need to ask why so many of our college professors are paid 6 figure salaries to teach classes that should be taught in high school by people making about $38,000.

It will be built on property currently owned by Bethel Missionary Baptist Church. Is Bethel selling the Property? If NOT, what is in it for Bethel to allow them to built it on their Property? What happens to the Building if the LOAN is defaulted on? Who takes control of it, the City, the CRA, Bethel, WHO? We STILL have a huge Eyesore of Concrete behind the Leon County Court House, what is going on with THAT huge Mistake?

Chris Sunnunu couldn’t find a real bad guy to go after, so he attacks his fellow GOP Governor? He’s disqualified on that bit of bad judgement alone, nevermind the fact that he’s the real rhino.

I will NEVER vote for him or the unctuous Nikki Haley

This is amazing when you think about it. The company currying the favor of the CRA for the 7 Mil loan is able to make untraceable political contributions thru a PAC or a “Rocky Hanna” styled HAA HAA corporation. For example just 1/2 of 1% of that 7 Mil loan is only a paltry sum of only $35,000.00.
Global City’s movers and shakers would be well advised to consider such a path to cement the deal.
Do you think anyone involved would have their vote to approve taxpayer moneys of 7 Mil being given the thumbs up for $35,000.00? Again totally untraceable and on the down low.
Help us Govorner Desantis.

Ref: workforce housing complex.

So often we discuss how pursuing a college degree in Lesbian Dance Theory may not provide the skills needed to get a good paying job. Yet every day FSU and FAMU provide educational programs that the student should realize isn’t going to get them a good job.

So, instead of telling this years unemployed college grads, “I told you so”, the taxpayer is about to cough up $7 Million Dollars to provide housing to those that cannot affort it.

Maybe if you want the best teachers, fire fighters, police officers, government should postpone buying millions of dollars worth of electric bus and increase the pay of critically needed government employees.

And where is the line in the sand that denotes, no more tax increases?
