This Week

As we go about the business of electing those who promise to represent us in Tallahassee and Leon County at a local level, we trust that they are willing to do so in a manner that is reflective of our values, goals, and interests. To that end, we can expect them to agree and disagree with one another no less than we do with one another.

Predictably, as our community has increased in diversity, the diversity of opinions regarding land use, economic development, social services, housing options and availability, crime, poverty, and educational opportunities are all to be expected. The question remains whether our elected officials are up for the task of sorting it all out while remaining allied in their efforts to bring effective solutions.

The annual Town Hall for 2024 hosted by Village Square was marked by an extraordinary tone of civility not in keeping with the recent City and County commission meetings. Apart from a few loaded remarks that referenced some particular viewpoint, each of the eight commissions spoke in measured expressions of support for providing affordable housing, increasing local festivals, and reducing gun violence.

Moderator Tom Flanigan brought a robust number of questions that reflected the highly contested issues that continue to concern local citizens.

Our coverage of the entire event begins with Brien’s commentary and analysis. 


Tallahassee Food Challenge
Tallahassee Food Challenge 2024

The 2024 Tallahassee Food Challenge Campaign begins in February each year and continues its promotional advertising and events through June. This year’s campaign will focus on the work of Hunger Fight in Tallahassee.

Aimed at encouraging increased support for local food charities, the Campaign is scheduled during the spring months in anticipation of the closing of school-based food assistance programs and the shortage of food supplies that occur.
