No report on the projected multi million dollar deficit to start the year? As reported by staff? Raises and stuff.

Or are we to belive as one commissioner said, “it’s free money.”

How does the City Commission, city policy and Ethics Committee allow the city manager to simply take $31,000 of an employee’s money and see that and no one says anything. In this city anything is allowed. The city has a lot of unethical leaders.

Mr. Redneck, you’re right. Bradfordville should become Leon County’s second city.

Ref: “…approved, the Commissioners (except for Mayor John Dailey who already earns $90,000) will receive an additional $45,000 which will double their salaries….”

Facing an upcoming 3-million-dollar budget deficient, these mental giants want a raise. This is the same bunch that want to buy unreliable electric buses from a failing company. The northeast side needs to incorporate and leave the COT’s tax base.

Saying the pay increases are for future candidates to make a living wage (recruitment) and making a comparable salary to their county counterparts (comps) are the same arguments the firefighters have been making for their contract for months. The hypocrisy never stops with DWC and CR

When you Rename a Street, do you realize how much an Inconvenience and Hassel it is for those living on that Street? Stop Renaming Streets and just wait until there is a NEW Street to name.

The City Commissioners increased the number of currently allowed single-family, two-family, and multi-family residential uses from 126 to 302 units………. Who DIDN’T see this coming?

5 City Commissioners is enough.

Doubling your Salary in one Blink of an Eye is a HUGE NO in my Book. Since you’re being greedy, I say a 10% Raise is good BUT, not until January 2025.

The Independent Ethics Board should be just that, Independent, with NO input from the City on how to do their Job and the City Manager should be included on that List as well.

The New Police Station and the South Side Transit Center were and are a Money Pit Boondoggle from the start. You should have kept the Building and just remodeled it for the Police Station, it was ideal for what was needed. Instead of a Transit Center you just need to add MORE Bus Stops on the South Side.

Wow, seriously?… from declaring a $3.8-million budget shortfall to asking taxpayers to double the Commissioners salaries?

Is it any wonder this country is a mess?

God help us.
