Mr. Weed, I was wondering the same thing.
I guess TR is no fan of Matlow and won’t give him a voice on this publication.
What ever happened to free speech and listening to both sides of an issue? Apparently not at TR.
TR
Why did you remove the YouTube information video by the commenter Commonsense? It was perfectly truthful and a nice quality video by Commissioner Matlow laying out the situation regarding the assistant city manager, the developer’s attorney, and what they are doing to the city attorney.
I did not find it objectionable and only informative. Perhaps you should review your policy for removing truthful information.
UPDATE:
MAYOR DAILEY, COMMISSIONERS CURTIS RICHARDSON AND DIANNE WILLIAMS-COX HAVE MADE INAPPROPRIATE AND DISINTERESTED COMMENTS ON THIS MATTER WHEREBY PORTER HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.
It was recently that the city attorney called out Dianne William-Cox for her pathetic public toddler tirade trying to get out of a vote where the city attorney corrected her and told her she did not have a valid reason to not vote. Another perfect example of the three trifecta commissioners holding Tallahassee back putting special interests ahead of the best interests of citizens. Perhaps a Bar complaint can be made against the developer’s attorney, Gary Hunter, to wake up attorneys and public officials who step on the souls of citizens and public servants striving to serve in the best interest of citizens and not special interests. Gary Hunter and assistant city manager Wayne Tedder owe Cassandra Jackson and the city of Tallahassee a public apology.

You are missing the point.
NE Moderate: Gillum made the statement when Jackson was up for nomination, that he was trying to ‘wrap his head around’ what qualifications did Cassandra Jackson lack to not be appointed as city attorney. The City Commission wanted to interview other folks as well and stack them up one against the other to get the best candidate. They were not allowed to do this and we got stuck. Now she’s leaving and we have to do this mess all over again.
Come to Tallahassee where the Mayor and City Manager…
– mock disabled citizens
– mock their own city attorney
– forgo engineering requirements for their special interests
– use non-profits as their own marketing firms for mayor’s next campaign
– fiscally irresponsible with taxpayer dollars
– raise taxes to cover the deficits due to their fiscal irresponsibility
– fails to address the high crime rate
– most misogynistic mayor’s office in America
– water quality and sewage spill issues are not addressed
– misuse WCOT for re-election campaigns
– misuse the CSC to funnel taxpayer funds into re-election campaigns
Just to name a few of the inept, incompetent, corrupt business as usual at Kickback Enterprise AKA City Hall.
A nationwide search is overdue to find a reliable, credible, and experienced city manager and to vote Curtis out. Curtis is a holdout in allowing a search for a new city manager which could make positive changes for citizens yet for self-serving reasons Curtis fails to do the right thing.

Scott Maddox installed Reese Goad, with Gillum’s vote. Difference is Maddox bragged in FBI records about his influence with Reese not so with Jackson. Clearly she was butting heads with the System so had to go
Cassandra Jackson never should have been appointed as city attorney. The Commissioners at that time, wanted to interview more candidates but were ‘brow beaten’ by gillum, when he was Mayor, to vote to appoint Jackson.
When your lawyer resigns you know it’s getting weird in there
Newest COT cover-up as the city manager’ mayor and assistant city manager don’t like the pushback the city attorney gives to their development deals specifically Welaunee Heel.
This should be in the article about the city attorney leaving and she is doing her job. Is the city attorney the first person to stand up and take a stand for citizens rather than going along with a maniacal mayor and city manager?
Finally, citizens have someone who is standing up for them and not special interests. Thank you, Cassandra!
