The news briefs from the December 13, 2023 Tallahassee City Commission meeting are now available.
The Tallahassee City Commission nominated and approved an appointee for the Citizens Review Police Board who works as a political advisor for an organization that has called for the abolishment of police, prisons and punishment. Malik Ready was appointed without a vote by the board after being nominated by Commissioner Jeremy Matlow Wednesday.
Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey and other members of the city commission expressed interest in limiting the non-agenda speaking period of the commission meetings, following activist speakers getting “out of control.” “The level of decorum with unagenda’d speakers and quite frankly, with some of the agendaed speakers, is getting a little out of control,” Dailey said. “Especially the personal threats and attacks on family.”

The meeting was abruptly ended by Dailey because, in his opinion, the comments from the public speakers did not fit his self-proclaimed “decorum standard.”
That’s like the little kid taking his football and going home because he was loosing the game.
Mr. Mayor, “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”
This whole meeting was a “circus.” Shame on Tallahassee!
Best thing to do, is just let them scream and yell. No response required from anyone. No need to get into a shouting match.
The Speakers Time should be Increased to 4 or 5 Minutes. A lot of the time, 3 Minutes is not enough.
Dude, fix the date.
Dailey and everyone else on the commission were perfectly fine with BLM’s lack of decorum and the systematic debasing of civil society. They applauded it and called it long overdue.
Mayor Dailey made his bed, now he doesn’t want to sleep in it. Its Ok to be ugly to people he doesn’t like, but if you are ugly to him it has to stop…hahaha Too funny.
