A political donation to Tallahassee City Commissioner Curtis Richardson’s campaign raised some eyebrows in the Capital City.
Adam Corey, a key figure in an infamous FBI investigation of corruption at City Hall, donated $250 to the incumbent on Oct. 4. Richardson faces challenger Dot Inman-Johnson in a runoff next month. Through Oct. 4, Richardson had raised nearly $185,000 to keep his seat on the Commission.
“The consumer price index dropped to an annual inflation rate of 2.4% in September, the lowest annual level since February 2021”. Bullsh**. The actual inflation rate for most consumer purchase is 50 to 100 percent. How can they say 2.4%?
