🐊 The Real Florida isn’t made up of golf courses and resorts.

🐊The Real Florida is the natural beauty.

🐊The real Florida is alligators, panthers, and Gar.

🐊The real Florida is cypress trees, southern magnolias, beauty berries, and clean fresh springs.

It’s clear that our community appreciates our arts, artists, and community 🫶

Our school board set the tone for the district tonight. Jones, Smith, and Nicolas upheld the recommendation made by the investigator for Shively’s (HR director) substantiated harassment claim. These are the small wins worth celebrating bc they change the culture in the district.

Leon County Government sets the standard locally for the way they listen to neighbors as well as respect each other.

Do elected officials have to go to the chamber retreat at Amelia Island to meet with members on topics such as increasing the half penny sales tax for the school district?

Here’s a post we did in 2024 when they won the same award!!

[City of Tallahassee @CityofTLH]

Mayor Dailey, Mayor Pro Tem Richardson, Commissioner Williams-Cox, City Manager Goad & Dr. Whitley, Director of Operations & Innovation for the City, have each been recognized by the Florida League of Cities (@FLCities) with a 2026 Home Rule Hero Award. https://t.co/LcttvjXfiP

@ByMattHoffmann Thank you for reporting on this. This issue was brought up about a year ago when the city was testing for PFAS. What we do here affects our neighbors. We need to be good neighbors.

[Matt Hoffmann @ByMattHoffmann]

NEW: A group of doctors, geologists and local commissioners are holding a press conference to announce they believe PFAS, "forever chemicals," are coming from a City of Tallahassee wastewater spray field.

"We don't even have a bandaid approach," said Dr. Ron Saff.

When the superintendent starts gaslighting board members you know things have gotten bad ☕️🫖

[850CapitalTea @850CapitalTea]

Leon County Schools stream of their meeting is as consistent as the stories Hanna is telling the public about the budget.

I had to step in the puddle to press the crosswalk button. I stepped off the curb and went around the puddle to walk across, but if I were in a wheelchair I would have to go through this and it’s pretty deep.

Also no one ever stops for the crosswalk lights. Attn: @CityofTLH

@CommonSensezzzz @LeonSchools We love having this conversation. Our stance is that true change starts at the top. “A good leader knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way” — John C. Maxwell

Character limit prevents long responses but we need transparency around our local budget and questions answered.

Unfortunately, our Commissioner of Education is more concerned with where teachers spend their personal money than he his with investing a district that allowed the superintendent to give himself a 26% raise ($42k) without a board vote and who is obfuscating PRR

[Anastasios Kamoutsas @StasiKamoutsas]

Teacher unions are more focused on advancing activism than prioritizing student safety or supporting the educators they represent.

Thanks to bill sponsors @jenna_persons and @JonMartinEsq, teacher unions will be more transparent and accountable to those they represent.

Darryl Jones asked Vancore tonight at the review if he thought placing a ballot referendum for an appointed superintendent would pass. He has stated his enthusiastic support and content with Rocky Hanna. ☕️🫖

[850CapitalTea @850CapitalTea]

John Dailey, Dianne Williams-Cox, and Curtis Richardson all voted against hearing our neighbors in non-agenda public comment portion.

A good leader is able to set the tone without silencing the voices.

[850CapitalTea @850CapitalTea]

Leon County schools failed to stream their annual retreat today. Raising concerns from neighbors about what was discussed. The government functions in the sunshine yet LCS continues to mute comments on videos, reportedly deletes unfavorable comments, and fails to stream meetings

[850CapitalTea @850CapitalTea]

City commission majority just voted to go against their own policy to get two appraisals.

[850CapitalTea @850CapitalTea]

There were other options if our commissioners were open to other routes. We deserve a commission willing to do the work to protect public assets.

[Matt Hoffmann @ByMattHoffmann]

Matlow proposes taking out a $2 million bond that the club would pay back over 15 years, though the club would retain its lease for 30.

He says FAMU would retain its ability to use the course.

[850CapitalTea @850CapitalTea]

Local government shouldn’t be business, when we start justifying actions of elected officials as business we are allowing our local government to be run like a capitalistic holiday-make as much as you can off the consumers

[850CapitalTea @850CapitalTea]

✨We saw first hand this week that fellow commissioners are retaliated against when they give Goad a poor score. These actions have raised concerns among neighbors around what other poor management is being hidden from public view.

🫶We are better together

✨$1,791,768.12 is what we are spending on these seven people. Ron McGarrah is retired and actually receiving another $151,000+

✨This does not include benefits. For example, Reese Goad has a vehicle and vehicle maintenance as part of his contract along with other benefits.

✨This also doesn’t include Allison Farris (who has recently been labeled an executive on the new organizational chart).

✨While we want competitive pay for executives, do we need this many executives and is our city manager performing at the level we are paying him at?
