The business of representing the interests, needs, and opinions of Tallahassee’s residents can easily be thwarted by a lack of open communication. This is best promoted when forthright conversations are promulgated at a community-wide level. Those invididuals and organizations that foster such conversation are essential to the working of representive government within which democracy is best able to function.
Moderated by WFSU’s Tom Flanigan, the annual Tallahassee Town Hall for 2025 provided city and county commissioners the opportunity to respond to questions from local residents who asked about a wide range of topics including the furture of Railroad Square, the clear-cutting of lands for local development, and the cooperation of the Tallahassee Police Department with ICE officials.
Tom will talk with Brien about the noticeable tepid tone and pace of the meeting that historically has brougt more heated discussions. Sound bite of the Town Hall event are available here.
