  1. Thanks Doctor T,

    What’s Scott Maddox been up to latley, and Andrew Gillum, and that guy that owns/owned The DoubleTree who gave Kristian Dozier a house and is married to that weed queen Kim???
    How about a where are they now artical/update?
    Tallahassee has a right to know.

  2. I was hoping to see if the City voted to bail out Rail Road Square, I hope they voted no.

    The Tax Payers should not be taking on the burden’s of others who choose to live on the Coast.

    I have been waiting for this Debate to happen. Drinking Game: You take a Shot of Beer every time Harris GIGGLES while answering a Question. You take a Shot of Rum every time Harris Bashes Trump BEFORE she answers a Question and you take a Shot of both Beer and Rum every time Harris flat out Lies about Trump.

  3. In the year 2024, should Tallahassee really still have a city manager appointed by Scott Maddox, seconded by Curtis Richardson, and voted up by Andrew Gillum and Nancy Miller? It’s crazy Goad has lasted this long
