Richard on taxes, big borrowing spending, Blueprint, gov’t reform they basically are same place
@ Richard = YES. All of the Commissioners need to Work FOR the Citizens and With the Businesses.
@DoctorTuna-No, Progressives need to align with Conservatives and put the well being of the citizens of Tallahassee first.
Leon County and Tallahassee commissioner s are really screwing over the Killearn Plantation residents. A $444.00 charge for septic upkeep that they did not want or ask for on top of increases in the millage rate. Stop with constantly raising property taxes. Retirees are suffering. Cut some programs and real back the $45,000.00 raise the commissions gave themselves.
Conservatives need to align with the Progressive wing. No future otherwise plus the tax increases from Richardson are getting pretty insulting. He’s relying on Republicans and northeast will not and should not rescue him.
