  1. An addendum to Mr. Lyle’s comment:

    Here it is in a nutshell, folks…

    * Vote to keep Richardson in office and absolutely nothing will change at city hall.
    * Vote Richardson out of office and things at city hall will at least have a 50-50 chance
    of either getting better or possibly worse.

    It’s just that simple my friends. Vote wisely.

  2. @ August West = I could have told you they don’t care, just watch their Meetings on TV or On Line. Their will be a LOT of Speakers their to tell them how bad they don’t want something and some of the Commissioners wont even look at the person who is speaking then they just pass it anyway, no consideration at all for the People it will effect.

    Like I said before, if the City buys it, they need to buy it ALL and build the new Train Depot their since they have been talking about the Train coming back to Tallahassee.

  3. I pay 8 bones a month in homeowners’ insurance, if the city buys Railroad Square because the owners either neglected to carry insurance or couldn’t insure the properties I will vote for Dot and Jackie Porter out of pure spite.

    The fact that they have voted on this bs shows how blatant the city commission is in its goings on. They don’t care one iota what you think.

  4. OK…so if my house is damaged and I either did not carry insurance or enough insurance, I can go before the city commission to get the city to bail me out??

  5. Here it is in a nutshell, folks…

    * Our allies Pray for a Trump/Vance Win
    * Our enemies hope for a Harris/Walz win

    It’s just that simple my friends… Vote Wisely

  6. Why does the City need to step in and save Railroad Square when the owners Adam and Lillian Kaye didn’t care enough to insure their own property in the first place? If the city has a need for the property it needs to be laid out in detail, not just to bail out the current owners.

  7. Before the City buys property on Railway Square, they should identify what programs they will eliminate to pay for the purchase.

    If no one want to buy something there is a reason.

  8. Hey Judge, why don’t you ban together with the other Judges and STOP the Biden/Harris Administration from Registering illegals to Vote? Arrest all those helping them to do so as well.
