Well said, David and NE.

I am not a fan of Ben Crump, but if he wants to do a class action suit against the city staff perpetrators who mocked citizens in text messages at a recent public meeting I would not object.

Every city employee, including the city manager, who was involved in mocking citizens in the text messaging scandal should resign immediately. Those resigning should include the Mayor Dailey, Curtis Richardson, and Dianne Williams-Cox for putting their stamp of approval on this heinous, cruel, inappropriate and unprofessional behavior. Leadership has failed the City of Tallahassee. Hopefully there will be a press release out today where Reese Gold, the city manager, will announce his resignation and take full responsibility for his actions.

Every one of those stooges needs to be voted out of office at the next election. They lie cheat and steal from us as a matter of course.

Death knell for any credibility in this Goad Maddox-era house of cards regime. The disrespect shown to the public and taxpayers from these $220k earning crony bureaucrats is the last straw. No one believes in their Potemkin village mandate anymore besides 3 career politicians and the Bethel-Chamber special interests they serve

This stuff from Assistant City Managers who are becoming millionaires off taxpayers belittling public commenters would not fly anywhere else. Ric Fernandez didn’t even allow this.

County Commissioner Christian Caban is right about Blue Print needing Restructuring. So does the CSC.

The Legislature should create a special Counsel that creates a special Age Range Scale for Books like they do Movies, Video Games and Toys and then they scan through all the Books that the Schools want to use and assign the Books an Age Range.

“Matlow then made a motion to direct the city manager to “treat all members of the public with respect and dignity” ……… If you are not behind Matlow on this then, you are part of the problem. If you abstained from voting for this because you don’t like Matlow then your just Petty and need to step down. Because by abstaining from voting for this tells people that you are OK with Staff acting like that. All of the City staff Members that participated in the group-chat mocking Mr. Sims for the mispronunciation should be let go.
