Tallahassee’s divisive city commission elections are over, and the new board’s first regular meeting is today.
Commissioners have talked about the need to come together. But further divisions seem likely.
One such issue could be Taylor Biro’s position on the Tallahassee Citizens Police Review Board. The local Police Benevolent Association called for Biro’s removal after hearing that she carried a mug with an expletive critical of police to a review board meeting.
The Tallahassee Democrat reported the mug actually said “abolish the police.” Commissioners Jeremy Matlow and Jack Porter have voiced support for Biro.
There’s also a wide gap in the performance evaluations of certain city employees. Some commissioners gave perfect marks to top staff, including City Manager Reese Goad, while others gave those same employees dismal reviews.
Today’s agenda does not mention those issues. It does include an update on the noise ordinance and safe routes to several elementary schools.
