Perhaps instead of being offended that citizens disagree with you, you should address WHY they disagree. Are you demanding they pay more for the services that you manage? Are you demanding that they pay to support other projects they endorse? Are you demanding their silence while you rule from your throne?

You are an elected official. No more, no less. You represent the people of Tallahassee FIRST. When you forget either of these two things people SHOULD remind you. And if it takes hurting your feelings to get the message across, well, que sera, sera….

The answer to speech you don’t like, is more speech, not less. When BLM was rioting, and blocking traffic on Thomasville Road, the mayor called it peaceful protest and applauded the systematic breakdown of civil society, he even painted our streets with their insipid slogans.

Now he wants to limit the time and number of speakers because the vitriol is now directed at him and not us. See how they are? Mayor Dailey is a big part of this city’s problems. He has to go.

I am with Matlow on the Time Issue. While you are at it, you should increase the Speaking time from 3 Minutes to 5 Minutes for those who are Regulars at the Meetings. You know who they are and you know they Respect the Room.

All the protestors for Palestinians would be better off Protesting in GAZA and NOT down town Tallahassee. There is NOT a single thing that a City or County Commissioner can do about ANY War happening in another Country, NOTHING. Having them say what ever YOU want them to say is not helping anyone, you can do MORE for the Palestinians if you go THERE, to GAZA and Protest and maybe even pick up a Riffle and Fight the Hamas to help protect the Palestinians.
