The only way to improve the power service/outage situation is by placing the service lines underground. This has been a challenge because every time it’s considered or talked about, protecting the canopy trees thwart to discussion. I understand that. However, there is a process known as Horizontal Directional Drilling that can help make it happen while protecting the trees. It’s costly, but doable. If they would stop raiding the Utilites funds for General Fund expenses, it can be done… then again, they’d have to raise property taxes to fill the void or cut wasteful spending. The local politicians don’t want to be known for raising taxes, and sure as hell won’t cut wasteful spending… so, there you go.

As for The Tallahassee Police Department Incident Alert. Sounds like a major looting plan gone awry.

When this is over I hope we look into how to better harden our power situation and make sure we are prioritizing spending tax dollars on fundemental services, not “development” , which can take care of itself.

Has anyone seen Reese Goad giving interviews, talking to residents and businesses in any meaningful way who were affected by the tornadoes? How about the mayor? Shameful!!
