Tallahassee's new city manager hiring process and contract controversy

The City Manager of Tallahassee is an unelected position that is appointed by the city commission. With the retirement of current manager, Reece Goad, a search was launched by an independent civil hiring firm to find his replacement. The decision to hire a new City Manager prior to the November elections this fall caused a lot of debate on the city commission, and with campaigns currently being run – a lot of controversial statements. The new manager was hired via a 3-2 vote and was given a contract with a 6-figure salary, stirring up a new series of debates. Gina Jordan sits down with Tristan Wood to discuss the situation.
