I have lived in this neighborhood between TMH and Leon for 30 years. Over the last few years we have more burglaries, suspicious persons, assaults and crimes in general. When we first moved here we had a neighborhood police officer…and no issues. I suggest you all sign up for the police department’s daily e-mail detailing calls in your neighborhood. You would be surprised and want more police.
Jackie is a useful idiot; I don’t know what neighborhood she lives in in Tallahassee, but I know we need more cops in mine. She needs to go, vote her out.
Received a great mail piece from Commissioner Richardson today. Very well done.
Reject the Pro-Hamas Progressive Zealots – Pizza Boy, Jackboot, and Do(n)t – and keep Tallahassee moving forward.
