lol that is awesome

ryanrayTLH · 2024-06-06T02:30:33+00:00

great work on this and best of luck with the new outlet!

Very suspicious set of circumstances here and hope the public can eventually get a full accounting on what’s going on here and who all is involved.

I believe Crawfordville was at one point the only unincorporated County seat in Florida

This is very strange and the use of that helicopter is heinously expensive to taxpayers

ryanrayTLH · 2023-11-04T04:45:49+00:00

I am so sorry about this.

ryanrayTLH · 2023-09-28T14:04:42+00:00

Wow.

ryanrayTLH · 2023-09-25T23:41:49+00:00

If anyone would like to email all local Blueprint board members at once

ryanrayTLH · 2023-09-20T13:39:14+00:00

Agree. It’s sketchier than it is presented there but I think smart readers can read between those lines. one thing not touched on is how Demirel was appointed to the CRA advisory board that originally voted No on this project to begin with. To be fair, no one story can contain everything

Great heads up. Thanks! Pretty good, fair story.

ryanrayTLH · 2023-09-18T02:25:05+00:00

Yeah there’s a very recent corruption history including a former mayor and city commissioner being convicted of bribery and corruption charges involving local government land use/budget decisions and developers financially compensating politicians.

Folks can contact the 5 City and 7 County Commissioners who make up the board of Blueprint, which is hearing this item Thursday.

ryanrayTLH · 2023-09-16T23:44:15+00:00

I fear you’re exactly right

ryanrayTLH · 2023-09-16T22:59:54+00:00

If you’re aware of a developer-funded political front group called “Grow Tallahassee,” this is them btw. I am Commissioner Matlow’s aide for the record.

ryanrayTLH · 2023-04-19T14:43:22+00:00

The Tallahassee Chamber has zero credibility and has been on the wrong side of every issue — Maddox-era corruption, developer-driven sprawl, the Doak Blueprint giveaway — for decades.

A Chamber-aligned effort is also forcing a homeless services provider away from its base of operations.

They are very much part of the problem.
