Tonight is also the first debate since the 1980s not organized by the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates. Instead, the presumptive Republican and Democratic nominees have coordinated directly with news outlets on the dates and terms, agreeing to forgo opening statements, debate notes, and an audience. There will be a mute button to cut candidates’ microphones off after their allotted response time expires.

Both Pro-Hamas Progressives (Jackboot Porter & Anti-LEO Pizza Boy) have to go if we’re to save the City from becoming a cesspool like so many in California.
Don’t get played, people… they both voted against the tax increase and the raise because they knew the votes were there to pass them anyway. Neither are rational, neither are fiscally conservative, and neither have any intention of working as a collegial body focused on the best interest of our City or we taxpayers. They are extreme left-wing zealots focused on pushing a warped, dangerous, and culturally-destructive agenda.
why didnt the chamber not say anything about property tax increase or Blueprint somo giveaways, picking winners and losers?!
What do Wood’s and Zeruto’s response have to do with Rezoning? In the past 5 Years and in the next 5 Years, THOUSANDS of Homes have been and are planned to be built around Tallahassee so, Drawing new District Lines needs to happen now.
Thank goodness Porter has no chance of winning. I’d rather have higher taxes under Richardson and a decent Tallahassee, then let Porter turn Tallahassee into a dumpster fire like Communist California.
Now that it’s clear Porter will win, it’s time to focus on getting rid of Curtis Richardson. Raising taxes is a sacred principle he should have never violated.
For four solid years The Wall Street Journal published every piece of fake intel the FBI and CIA leaked to them. They published every word without a hint of skepticism or curiosity as long as it hurt DJT.
In Vladimir Putin’s mind that makes the WSJ part of the intel apparatus. Evan Gerskovich is just as much an employee of the FBI and the CIA as he is a journalist as far as Vlad is concerned. And he’s probably not wrong in his thinking.
If you lie with dogs, you are gonna get fleas…
