Sorry “Commonsense 2.” I was here long before you popped up. Change your name or just quietly go away.

The Feb 22 Commonsense seems like the authentic one.

Of course that Gro Tallahassee crowd and the high paid city positions where they are using them solely to run the mayor’s campaign bullying takes over.

Would TR be able to verify? This has been a problem before where people are able to take over identities on this forum.

Tallahassee has a problem right now and the mayor and the city manager misused their positions and resources with a law enforcement agency to harass a political nemesis. This is wrong. This needs to stop. It needs to be addressed and there needs to be consequences.

Why is the mayor’s former top aide doing the agenda on O’Keefe item for the city manager? The mayor and the city manager are busted on misusing their positions and resources. This is very serious.

Stop using my name for pro Matlow posts! They’re all terrible but that’s besides the point – anyone can see what O’Keefe did and Matlow is acting like a buffoon. Telling.

Does anyone know if the State of Florida has any legal authority to investigate and possibly remove a City Manager from office? Might be worth looking into. You obviously know the “3-2 commission” will never do that.

Breaking news …

TD has reported that the agenda item regarding O’Keef was not prepared by the city manager, but by the director of strategic innovation, a former Dailey top aide.

This would be a second misuse of position and resources by Mayor Dailey and City Manager Goad in this latest drama.

This is irrefutable proof that substantiates the constant, inappropriate and misuse of office and resources by the city manager continually misusing staff and resources to do the bidding of Mayor Dailey to carry out in this instance, yet another political vendetta.

Should this be referred to the state attorney and the state for ethics reviews, I believe it should.

Sorry Matlow BUT…….. O’Keefe jumped the Fence. There ARE “No Trespassing” Signs Posted. Those signs do NOT need to be every foot. ALL 3 of you saw the Signs. Even if there were no Signs present, he still Trespassed because he had to jump a Fence to get it. Fences are erected to KEEP PEOPLE OUT. 4′, 6′ 8′ 10′ high does not matter, it is a FENCE to keep People OUT. Anyone jumps my fence, they better hope I am not home because I own Guns and WILL use one. The excuse you all used, saying there was not a Sign on the section O’Keefe jumped just shows us the type of person you all are. All three of you, especially O’Keefe, needs to Apologize for your lack of judgement.

Personally, I don’t agree with any fence jumping amd thing those involved should have gone to the on-site construction office, identified themselves as city and county comissioners and asked for a time and day for a tour.

With that said, I think the reaction of other city commissioners is appalling and only wish they were so reactive to 1.3 milion gallons of raw sewage spills in 2023, staff’s REFUSAL to track the sources of toxic contaminants to our Class III recreational waters, and gross lack of transparency for spills, contaminated sites, and enforcement consent orders!

Stay tuned, I’m considering starting a non-profit to address these issues more aggressively, including possible legal actions! Surveys being prepared to judge amount of community and regional support. Contact me if interested: terry@thetrakker.com

If only this City Manager and Mayor would give as many updates on the sewage spills, special interests, kickbacks as they are on their politically motivated police investigation directed at a political nemesis.

Who voted in this city manager? Was it, Curtis Richardson, Gillum, and Scott Maddox? Explains a lot that the city manager is there to run interference for their special interests and corruption and not serve the citizens of Tallahassee. Perfect example of a city manager facilitating political nonsense.

There needs to be a nationwide search for a competent city manager who has the interests of the citizens on the agenda and not special interests of elected officials running their campaigns 24/7.

Isn’t it a crime to misuse their positions to (mis)use law enforcement to conduct a political vendetta?
