Interesting to see the highlight on the proposed budget cuts for the Public Defender’s Office. As a legal aid advocate, I believe it’s crucial to ensure that all citizens have access to proper legal representation, especially in cases where their liberties are at stake. Hopefully, the city can find a way to balance the budget without compromising on this vital service.
Poor Andrew… he actually thought they were his friends, bless his heart.
Thank you, Candace Owens, for exposing Gillum with that photo of him naked, lying in his own puke.
He’s not gay but he has sex with men? Isn’t that pretty much what “gay” means?
I want to see the video that shows O’Keefe Trespassing.
Well Gillum, you did that to yourself.
But Trump wasn’t charged with Insurrection OR Inciting a Riot.
We need to stop GIVING Money to other Countries, it has already been proven that the Money isn’t going where it should.
e Mayor Andrew Gillum said that he feels abandoned
Really, you’re a married man that got super high on drugs then had homosexual sex then passed out. And you can’t understand why you’re toxic.
Do you hear these city leaders and former city leaders? It explains a lot how Tallahassee has deteriorated…. If a county commissioner wants to go take pictures of a project site where they are scorching earth to develop the property, it is his right. What is not right is taking up precious taxpayers time for three of the city commissioners to try to trump up a political vendetta misusing our law enforcement entity to do so.
The only thing this exposes is that three of the city commissioners are in bed with their special interests, misuse taxpayer dollars, and that they are school yard bullies. The mayor , Curtis, and Dianne Williams-Cox should resign.
Gillum: GET A JOB AND REPENT!!
Sounds like he’s not sorry about what he did, but he’s terribly sorry he got caught. Now he’s trying to convince us that someone spiked his drink????? Yeah, right, Gillum. And monkeys just flew out of my butt. You’re done, Gillum. Take a hike.
Well, ya know, if you avoid gay sex and crack cocaine in a Miami dive hotel, these things won’t happen to you, will they???
