♪ >> WELCOME TO THE SEVENTH AND FINAL HOUR POLITICAL CANDIDATE FORUMS IN ADVANCE OF THE NOVEMBER 8TH GENERAL ELECTION.

THIS IS A COOPERATIVE PRODUCTIONOF TALLAHASSEE, THE TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT AND WFSU PUBLIC MEDIA.

OUR CANDIDATES ARE RUNNING FOR TALLAHASSEE CITY COMMISSION SEAT 4 AND THAT IS THE MAYOR'S SEAT.

I'M TOM FLANAGAN OF WFSU PUBLIC MEDIA.

DANIELLE HER WHEN FROM THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF TALLAHASSEE.

WE CAN QUESTION THE CANDIDATES ON VARIOUS TOPICS.

LET'S GET A QUICK LOOK AT THE GROUND RULES.

>> CANDIDATES FOR TALLAHASSEE CITY MAYOR SITTING LEFT TO RIGHT ARE INCUMBENT JOHN E. DAILEY AND CHALLENGER KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER.

BRAIN -- PLEASE HIT THE SHARE BUTTON, EACH DAY'S DISCUSSION.

HERE'S HOW IT WILL WORK BUT YOU ARE PROBABLY VETERANS OF THIS, YOU CAN ROTATE WHICH CANDIDATE GETS THE ANSWER FIRST THEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS, ASK THE CANDIDATES, WE WILL KEEP TIME AND TELL YOU WHAT THE TIME IS FOR EACH QUESTION AND WHEN YOUR TIME IS UP YOU WILL HEAR THIS.

[BELLRINGING WAS BRACKET >> YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME TO A DEAD STOP, FINISH YOUR SENTENCE AND THEN WE WILL HAVE A LIGHTNING ROUND WHERE WE ASK YOUTO KEEP YOUR ANSWERS TO A SECOND.

WE WILL GIVE YOU 60 SECONDS TO MAKE YOUR CASE DIRECTLY TO VOTERS AND SHARE ANY INFORMATION.

>> IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE CANDIDATES ON FACEBOOK TYPE THEM IN THE COMMENTS AND WE WILL GET TO AS MANY OF THEM AS WE CAN.

TIME IS VERY LIMITED.

YOU CAN IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF QUESTIONS BEING ASKED IF YOU KEEP THEM BRIEF, POLITE AND RELEVANT WHILE THE CANDIDATES.

ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE START?

LET'S JUMP IN WITH THE FIRST QUESTION.

>> OUR FIRST QUESTION IS WHAT MAKES YOU THE RIGHT CANDIDATE IN THIS RACE, 5 SECONDS FOR RESPONSE, RESPONSIBLE WE START WITH JOHN E. DAILEY.

>> Dozier: I THINK WFSU AND THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS FOR HOSTING THIS FORUM.

FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS THE CITIZENS OF TALLAHASSEE HAVE ENTRUSTED ME TO BE MAYOR OF TALLAHASSEE AND WE LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH AS A COMMUNITY FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS IT HAS BEEN A WILD RIDE BUT THERE IS ONE THING YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO COUNT ON AND THAT IS STEADY LEADERSHIP FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND CITY HALL.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF CHALLENGES IN THIS COMMUNITY AND WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THEM.

I'VE CREATED THE VISION FOR THE CITY OF TALLAHASSEE AS IT IS EMBEDDED IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND WE ARE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

IN THE TOP 10 COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES, ONE OF THE TOP 10 UNIVERSITY COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES, ONE PUBLIC UTILITY IN THE NATION.

I AM ASKING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ANOTHER FOUR YEARS.

>> SAME QUESTION TO KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER.

>> Dozier: THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO END THIS CAMPAIGN SEASON.

IT HAS BEEN A REMARKABLE.

I'VE HAD THE HONOR OF SERVING ON THE COUNTY COMMISSION FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS, DURING THAT TIME I HAVE WORKED HAND IN HAND WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS, INDIVIDUALS, ON ALL PARTS OF OUR COUNTY AND CITY.

I CAN USE THAT EXPERIENCE IN CITY HALL TO MAKE SOME CHANGES THAT ARE LONG OVERDUE.

FOUR YEARS AGO WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD SEE CHANGES IN TRANSPARENCY, IN BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER, RESTORING TRUST AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF CHALLENGING NEWS STORIES THAT WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH TODAY.

WE'VE NOT SEEN THAT HAPPEN, WE NEED A CITY GOVERNMENT THAT IS RESPONSIVE, THAT WORKS WITH THE PEOPLE OF TALLAHASSEE AND I AM ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT AS THE NEXT MAYOR OF TALLAHASSEE.

>> 30 SECONDS FOR RESPONSE STARTING WITH KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST WEAKNESS AS YOU ASSESS IT AND WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR OPPONENT'S BIGGEST WEAKNESSES?

>> Dozier: BOTH OF THOSE IN 30 SECONDS?

MY BIGGEST WEAKNESS AND WE ALL KNOW IT, I AM NOT AT GOOD AT TALKING POINTS AS SOME OTHERS.

I HAVE LEARNED, NOT BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN HORSE IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS BUT I DO DIG INTO THE DETAILS AND THESE ISSUES ARE COMPLICATED THAT WE ARE FACING.WHAT HIS BIGGEST WEAKNESS IS QUITE BLUNTLY, WE KNOW, ALL OF US KNOW THAT HE RETALIATES AGAINST THOSE WHO DISAGREE WITH HIM.

THIS HAS A CHILLING EFFECT ON BUSINESSES, NONPROFITS, ON OTHERS.

WE ARE NOT GETTING THE BEST INFORMATION COMING INTO CITY HALL, PEOPLE ARE WORRIED.

>> LET'S SEE IF YOUR OPPONENT AGREES, JOHN E. DAILEY, YOUR BIGGEST WEAKNESS AND YOUR OPPONENT'S.

>> Dozier: I'M TRYING TO COMMUNICATE TO 200 CITIZENS IN THE CITY OF TALLAHASSEE.

WE DON'T LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN.

IT IS A LARGE MUNICIPALITY.

I WOULD SAY KRISTIN'S BIGGEST CHALLENGES WEAKNESS WILL BE HER VOTING RECORD AND THE VOTES SHE HAS TAKEN THAT HAVE BENEFITED HER FAMILY BUSINESS AND HERSELF.

WHETHER IT IS THE DOWNTOWN -- THE PURCHASE OF HER HOUSE, SHE HAS TO TO FACE THE CITIZENS AND EXPLAIN WHY.

>> WE WILL EXPAND ON THAT IN JUST A LITTLE BIT IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN.

LET'S TURN IT OVER TO DANIELLE.

>> Dozier: ACCORDING TO A RUNNING COUNT 15 PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND 67 HAVE BEEN INJURED FROM 93 SHOOTINGS THIS YEAR.

WHAT IS ONE THING YOU PLEDGE TO DO TO STOP THE BLOODSHED?KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER, 45 SECONDS.

>> Dozier: ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING ISSUES WE FACE, WE'VE TAKEN A LOT OF STEPS FORWARD, I'M PROUD TO HAVE SUPPORTED SHERIFF MCNEIL ON STATUS OF MEN AND BOYS AND RECENTLY WE SAW THE WORKSHOP, THE CITY.

WHAT IS LACKING IS REALLY ENGAGING COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

WE'VE GOT TO START WITH THAT WHAT WITH THE NEW GBI MODEL AT THE CITY AND THE STATUS OF MEN AND BOYS WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THOSE GROUPS WORK TOGETHER AND WE GET SPECIFIC ACTIONABLE STEPS TO ADDRESS THIS.

ONE THING WE NEED IS A PLACE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPELLED FROM SCHOOL TO SPEND THE DAY BUT WORKFORCE TRAINING SKILLS AND OTHER JOBS TO DIVERT THEM FROM THE ACTIVITY WE SEE THEM GETTINGINTO UNFORTUNATELY.

>> JOHN E. DAILEY, SAME QUESTION.

HUNSCHOFSKY I SERVED $1 MILLION YEAR FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS, AND I AM PROUD TO BE THE MAYOR THAT CRAFTED THE MOTION, UNANIMOUS SUPPORT FROM CITY COMMISSION TO ENGAGE WITH THE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED OPERATION, PREVIOUS SUCCESS IN OTHER COMMUNITIES BRINGING NATIONAL EXPERTS TO BRING ALL OUR ASSETS TOGETHER TOMOVE FORWARD.

I'M ALSO PROUD TO HAVE BEEN THE MAYOR AT THE TIME THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER THAT PROPOSED THE SERVICE CHILDREN'S COUNSEL ALONG WITH MY WIFE VIRGINIA OVER TWO YEARS TO GET THAT PASSED IN OUR COMMUNITY.

I THINK HISTORY WILL LOOK BACK AND SAY THAT WAS A TURNING POINT IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE.

THE REAL-TIME CRIME CENTER WILL BE OPENED UP ON FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS IN CONJUNCTIONWITH ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

>> WE HAVE A FOLLOW-UP.

JOHN E. DAILEY, WE START WITH YOU ON THIS.

A CASE INVOLVING THE CITY OF TALLAHASSEE POLICE OFFICER WHO USED MERCY'S LOT TO SHED HIS IDENTITY AFTER SHOOTING A SUSPECT IN 2,020 WILL GO BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT IN DECEMBER.

'S MERCY'S LAW WORKING AS INTENDED AND SHOULD POLICE OFFICERS BE ABLE TO USE THE VICTIMS RIGHTS AMENDMENT TO SHIELD THEIR IDENTITY WHEN THEY SHOULD A SUSPECT?

>> Dozier: I'M PROUD TO HAVE THE PBA'S ENDORSEMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AS YOU ARE CORRECT, THIS IS BEFORE THE SUPREME COURTAND THEY WILL MAKE THE FINAL DECISION.

DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES DO IT DIFFERENTLY.THE THE SEA OF TALLAHASSEE HAS TAKEN A POSITION OF TRANSPARENCY AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION BUT ULTIMATELY IT WILL BE THE SUPREME COURT THAT WILL DECIDE THIS CASE.

>> DO YOU AGREE WITH THE CITY'S POSITION?

>> Dozier: AS MAYOR OF TALLAHASSEE I DO.

>> KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER, SAME QUESTION FOR YOU.

>> Dozier: THIS IS AN AREA WE AGREE, I AGREE WITH THE CITY'S POSITION ON THIS.

I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING THE COURT'S DECISION AS WELL.

THIS IS A VERY DELICATE ISSUE, SOMETHING SERIOUS WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, WITH THOSE WHO ARE IMPACTED BY ANY INCIDENT THAT MIGHT TAKE PLACE, NOT JUST THAT BUT THE FEELING THEY ARE NOT SAFE WHEN THEY MAKE A CALL TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.

WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT PEOPLE IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BUT WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE HISTORY INFLUENCES ALL OF US AND ADDRESS THESE ISSUES.

ON MARCY'S LAW THIS WAS INTENDED FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSE AND I SUPPORT THE CITY'S POSITION.

>> THE MAYOR MENTIONED THE ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN THE CITY BUDGET FOR ADDRESSING GUN VIOLENCE.

WHAT IS YOUR ASSESSMENT OF HOW THAT MILLION WAS TO BE DONE TO STOP THE GUN VIOLENCE AND IS THERE A WAY YOU WISH IT HAD BEENDONE DIFFERENTLY?

>> Dozier: IT IS EVIDENCED BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN CITY HALL FOR THE WORKSHOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SO MANY GROUPS IN OUR COMMUNITY FROM FAITH-BASED GROUPS, NONPROFITS AND OTHERS ARE ALL FOCUSED ON AND THAT IS A GREAT THING.

I'M GLAD THEY HELD THE WORKSHOP.

WHAT I WISH HAPPENED DIFFERENTLY, I THINK THAT WORKSHOP SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED LAST MAY OR JUNE.

THAT IS OUR APPROACH ON THE COUNTY SIDE.

WE MAKE A DECISION AND GO TO THE COMMUNITY AND HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS WITHIN A FEW SHORT MONTHS.

UNFORTUNATELY THERE WERE QUESTIONS IN EARLY SEPTEMBER ABOUT WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS WERE GOING TO COME AND WHO HAVE A VOICE IN THAT.

WE 'VE GOTTEN PAST THAT AND GLAD THE CITY HAD THE WORKSHOP AND RECOMMENDATIONS, DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS, ARE GOOD, BUT WITH MORE TIME WE COULD HAVE BEEN REFINED.>> THANK YOU.

JOHN E. DAILEY, SAME QUESTION.

>> Dozier: THE MAYOR OF TALLAHASSEE CALLED FOR 1 MILLION SET ASIDE FOR EVERY YEAR IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS SO WE CAN HAVE SUSTAINABLE -- AS A SITTING COUNTY COMMISSIONER, KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A SIMILAR MOTION AT THE COUNTY LEVEL AND CHOSE NOT TO BUT I'M PROUD OF THE ACTION THE CITY HAS TAKEN AND WHEN WE WALKED OUT OF THAT MEETING IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY EXCITING ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE EVERYBODY WAS UNANIMOUSLY IN SUPPORT OF MOVING FORWARD, THE FAITH-BASED COMMUNITY, NONPROFIT COMMUNITY, LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY, BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND IT PASSED ON A UNANIMOUS VOTE.

WE ARE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO AND WE ARE GOING THERE.

>> KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER, 15-2ND REBUTTAL.

>> Dozier: YOU KNOW THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT AT WORK ON THESE ISSUES IS DIFFERENT, THE BUDGET IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN THE CITY.

THE COUNTY HAS FUNDED AND WORKED WITH THE SHERIFF AND A LOT OF PROGRAMS.I WORKED WITH HIM ON REENTRY AND OTHER PROGRAMS BUT THIS IS A DIFFERENT SCENARIO.

>> WE HAVE A QUESTION FOR BOTH OF YOU AND WE WILL BREAK IT INTO INDIVIDUAL LINES OF INQUIRY IF WE MIGHT AND LET'S START WITH YOU.

45 SECONDS TO RESPOND, THE RACE HAS BEEN MARKED BY A LOT OF ACTIVITY.

WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO VOTERS WHO ARE TIRED OF THE ATTACKS?

>> Dozier: WE ARE TIRED OF THE ATTACKS.

I HEAR ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME, I HEAR SUPPORTS LOOKING FOR MY OPPONENT BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVEATTACKS.

FIRST AND FOREMOST THE THINGS PEOPLE ARE RECEIVING IN THEIR MAILBOX AND ON TV ARE NOT TRUE.

THEY ARE DISTORTIONS OF A RECORD OR OUTRIGHT LIES.

WE MAY HAVE A MORE SPECIFIC QUESTION.

MOST IMPORTANTLY CAMPAIGNS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE RUN ON THE ISSUES, WE SHOULD FOCUS ON THE ISSUES.

WE ARE NOT DOING THAT.

MY OPPONENT WANTS TO RUN A NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN SINCE EARLY AUGUST.IT WAS A WHISPER CAMPAIGN BEFORE THAT AND I KNEW THIS WAS COMING.

I THOUGHT THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD SAY, DIDN'T KNOW HOW FAR HE WOULD GO BUT THIS IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR COMMUNITY AND PEOPLE ARE PUSHING BACK.

>> Dozier: PLEASE REPEAT THE QUESTION.

>> A LOT OF NEGATIVITY IN THE RACE, SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF ATTACKS, PAID MEDIA, OTHERWISE.

WHAT WOULD YOU BE YOUR MESSAGE TO PEOPLE WHO SAY ENOUGH, STOP.

>> Dozier: WE HAVE FOCUSED ON VOTING RECORDS AND PERSONAL BUSINESS THE DEALS WITH DEVELOPERS WHO YOU HAVE VOTED AND APPROVED MONEY FOR.

I AM SURE IT WAS QUITE EMBARRASSING WHEN THE TEXT MESSAGES WERE REVEALED DURING A JOINT MEETING WE HAD THAT WERE MORE PERSONAL ATTACKS IN NATURE CALLING PEOPLE NAMES COMPARING THEM TO CARTOON CHARACTERS.

THERE'S A LEVL OF DIFFERENCE AND WHEN WE RUN FOR OFFICE AS CANDIDATES, THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SERVE, YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DEFEND THE VOTES YOU HAVE TAKEN NO MATTER HOW UNCOMFORTABLE THEY MAY MAKE YOU.

>> A FOLLOW-UP FOR 30 SECONDS.

OR CAMPAIGN HAS TV ADS AND SENT NUMEROUS MAILERS CRITICIZING KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER FOR BUYING A HOME FOR A LOCAL DEVELOPER WHO WAS CONVICTED IN THAT CORRUPTION SCHEME AND ALSO CRA VOTE INVOLVING THIS BUSINESS.

IS THAT OVERKILL?

WHY HAS YOUR CAMPAIGN SPENT SO MUCH TIME TALKING ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE?

>> Dozier: IT IS IMPORTANT WE HOLD OURSELVES TO A STANDARD ABOVE AND BEYOND.

WHEN YOU TAKE A VOTE IN YOUR FAMILY'S CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS HAS THE OFFICIAL PROPOSAL AS PART OF THE RECORD AND YOU DO NOT EVEN ASK WHETHER OR NOT YOU SHOULD RECUSE YOUR SELF AND TURNAROUND MONTHS LATER AND YOU BUY A HOUSE FOR $90,000 BELOW MARKET VALUE AND TRY TO EXPLAIN IT AWAY BY SAYING THE REAL ESTATE AGENTS DID IT, THEY WORKED FOR YOU AND THEY WILL DO WHAT THEY DO AT YOUR DIRECTION.YOU HAVE TO ANSWER TO THE PUBLIC.

I HAVE HAD A LOT OF PERSONAL ORDERS COME THROUGH MY SIDE WITH EYEBROWS RAISED.

>> 30 SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL.

>> Dozier: GETTING AN ETHICS LECTURE HERE IS QUITE EXTRAORDINARY.

I HOPE WE WILL GET INTO ETHICS REFORMS IN THE CITY A LITTLE MORE LATER.

ON THESE ATTACKS, WHEN HE SAYS IT IS 98,000 BELOW MARKET VALUE HE KNOWS THAT IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE.

WHEN I SAW THE HOUSE IT WAS LISTED AT 200,000.

ALL THE DETAILS ARE ON OUR WEBSITE.

I SHARED EVERYTHING.

I LIVE IN THE SUNSHINE, WE SHOULD EXPECT EXTRA SCRUTINY.

THIS HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY THE MEDIA, BY OTHERS AND IT IS DEEMED A PERFECTLY NORMAL HOME, HE KNOWS THAT IT IS USING IT FOR CAMPAIGN TACTICS EXCLUSIVELY.

>> ANOTHER FOLLOW-UP.

YOU WERE RECENTLY ENDORSED BY RICK'S LIST AND THEY SAID YOUR OPPONENT -- ABOVE NEGATIVITY WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.

>> Dozier: I'M PROUD OF THE ENDORSEMENT AND THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY.

THEY TYPICALLY DON'T ENDORSE A CHALLENGER, WHEN YOU HAVE A DEMOCRAT INCUMBENT WHO HAPPENS TO BE A MAN.

IN THIS SCENARIO THEY HAVE HEARD FROM OTHERS, NOT FROM US ABOUT ISSUES OF HOW JOHN TREATS WOMEN.

FOR ME PERSONALLY IF YOU INVOKE THE TEXT MESSAGES AND A CARTOON CHARACTER HE KNOWS, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN FORUMS.I HAD TO COME UP WITH A WAY OF DEALING WITH THE BULLYING OF THE COUNTY COMMISSION IN 2011.

THIS WAS A PRIVATE TOOL I USED TO SMILE AND NOT THINK ABOUT WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING SO I KNOW IT HAPPENED TO ME AS I KNOW IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER WOMEN.

>> JOHN E. DAILEY GETS 37 SECONDS.

>> Dozier: YOU OBVIOUS THEY HAVEN'T SPENT TIME WITH JENNY.

SALACIOUS WORDS IN A SMEAR CAMPAIGN I THINK THE ENDORSEMENT AS A PARENT AT THE WOMEN'S FORUMTHAT TOOK PLACE THE OTHER NIGHT, WERE OVERWHELMINGLY THE AUDIENCE LOOKS FACT.

THEY WEAR JOHN E. DAILEY FOR MAYOR T-SHIRTS BECAUSE OF THE OUTRAGE OF AN ENDORSEMENT FROM SOMEBODY FROM OUT OF TOWN WHO NEVER PICKED UP THE PHONE, NEVER CALLED ANYBODY, NEVER CHECKED ANYTHING, JUST TOOK THE WORD OF KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER'S CAMPAIGN.

IT IS A TACTIC FOR THE CAMPAIGN SEASON.

>> A COUPLE MORE INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONS.YOU WON THE COUNTY'S MOST CONSERVATIVE DISTRICT IN THE PRIMARY.

WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO VOTERS AS A MAYOR WHO ENDORSED PRESIDENT BIDEN?

>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE PRECINCTS ACROSS THE CITY I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH OUR PERFORMANCE ALL OVER THE CITY.

I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN GREAT PRIDE REPRESENTING EVERYONE.

THERE IS NO DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN WAY TO PICK UP YOUR GARBAGE IN THE MORNING, YOU WANT YOUR SERVICES PROVIDED IS EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE.

THAT IS WHY WE HAVE BROAD SUPPORT ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE, BROAD SUPPORT ON THE LIBERAL SIDE, BROAD SUPPORT EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN AND I WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE MAYOR THAT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER, THE CITY FORWARD.

>> YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC MESSAGE FOR REPUBLICAN VOTERS?

>> Dozier: MY MESSAGE IS LOOK AT MY RECORD AND HOW WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PERFORM.

THE NUMBER ONE PUBLIC UTILITY IN THE NATION, THE CITY OF TALLAHASSEE JUST RANKED NUMBER 5 MOST EFFICIENT CITY OUT OF 411 IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR TAXES PAID AND SERVICES RENDERED.

I THINK THEY ARE PLEASED WITH THE DIRECTION WE ARE HEADING.

>> YOU JUST UNVEILED A $10 MILLION PLAN TO EXTEND CITY SEWERS SECURING ENDORSEMENT FROM COUNTY COMMISSIONER, WHO HAS LONG ADVOCATED FOR THAT IN THE PROCESS.

DID YOU ACHIEVE THIS IS ONLY ON COUNTY COMMISSIONER?

WHY DID THIS EMERGE WEEKS BEFORETHE ELECTION?

30 SECONDS.

>> Dozier: I HAVE SUPPORTED EVERY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF TALLAHASSEE.AS MAYOR OF TALLAHASSEE I HAVE CONTINUED TO SUPPORT AND ON TOP OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT WE JUST MADE THE CITY AND IS INVESTING $381 MILLION IN THE SOUTH SIDE ACTION PLAN IN THIS FISCAL YEAR ALONE.

THESE PROJECTS DO NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

WHEN YOU HAVE STAFF WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES AS WE HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS ON HOW WE EXTEND MUNICIPAL SERVICES INTO THE OUTER REGIONS OF THE URBAN SERVICES THEY DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE, THESE PLANS HAVE BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR A WHILE.

>> KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER, YOUR CAMPAIGN IS CHAMPIONED BY THE MOST LIBERAL VOICES IN TALLAHASSEE INCLUDING THOSE WHO WANT TO SEE WHOLESALE CHANGE AT CITY HALL.

IN A COMMISSION THAT HAS BEEN REGULARLY DIVIDED BY 3 TO 2 VOTES WOULD YOUR ELECTION SWING THE VOTING BLOCK TO THE OTHER SIDE?

>>>> Dozier: ABSOLUTELY NOT.

THE COALITION WE'VE BUILT, I'VE HAD CONSERVATIVE SUPPORT, PROGRESSIVE SUPPORT AND MODERATESUPPORT, THE COMMISSION WE BUILTAND THE REASON WE WON THE PRIMARY AND MAJORITY OF PEOPLE VOTED AGAINST THE INCUMBENT IS PEOPLE WANT CHANGE.I HAVE BEEN VERY PROUD TO HAVE SUPPORT FROM ALL PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY FOR 12 YEARS.I HAD THAT IN THIS RACE AND IMPORTANTLY, THE CITY COMMISSIONNO MATTER HOW MUCH PEOPLE WANT TO PULL ME TO ONE SIDE, ONE VOTING BLOCK OR PUSH ME IN THAT DIRECTION I AM A UNIQUE VOICE.

I WOULD BREAK UP THE VOTING BLOCKS AND HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

>> THERE ARE THOSE SAYING YOU WOULD BRING MAJOR SHAKEUP TO CITY HALL.

WOULD YOU SUPPORT SWIFT ACTION TO CHANGE THE CITY MANAGER AND OR POLICE CHIEF?45 SECONDS.

>>>> Dozier: I WOULD NOT SUPPORTSWIFT ACTION.

IF THERE IS ONE WORD PEOPLE ATTACH TO ME IT IS PROCESS.

I AM DELIBERATIVE AND I LIKE PROCESS.

THERE ARE CONTRACTS IN PLACE, PROCESSES IN PLACE AND I HAVE SET ON THE RECORD REPEATEDLY THE CITY MANAGER SERVED THIS COMMUNITY WELL FOR A LONG TO HIM.

MY CONCERN IS WE'VE NOT SEEN THE CHANGES WITHIN CITY HALL WITH THE LAST 2 MANAGERS WHO ARE INTERNAL HIRES, DIDN'T HAVE A PUBLIC SEARCH.

I'M CONCERNED WE CANNOT MAKE THE CHANGES NECESSARY UNLESS WE HAD A NEW PERSPECTIVE AT CITY HALL BUT THAT'S NOT A SWIFT DECISION, CERTAINLY.

I HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING OF CITY HALL BUT YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW UNTIL YOU ARE INSIDE SO AS MAYOR I WOULD TAKE THAT TIME TO FOCUS.

>> BASED ON WHAT YOU KNOW NOW, YOUR FIRST MEETING AFTER BEING ELECTED, A COLLEAGUE CALLED FOR A VOTE TO REMOVE THE CITY MANAGER HOW WOULD YOU VOTE?

>>>> Dozier: I WOULD VOTE NO NO AT THE FIRST MEETING BECAUSE THERE'S A PROCESS AND WE NEED TO BE DELIBERATE AND FAIR TO ALL INDIVIDUALS.

>> LAST QUESTION FOR BOTH OF YOU, THEY POINT TO A LARGER ISSUE, THE COMMUNITY IS FRACTURED.

IF ELECTED, WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO HEAL THE COMMUNITY INCLUDING BRINGING TOGETHER YOUR SUPPORTERS AND OPPONENTS.

KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER, 30 SECONDS.

>> Dozier: FIRST AND FOREMOST BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER IS THE REASON WHY I GOT IN THIS RACE.

WE HAVE BECOME MORE AND MORE FRACTURED IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, WE'VE NOT BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER.

THAT IS DAY ONE AND WILL BE CONSISTENT FOR FOUR YEARS.

WE HAVE TO REBUILD TRUST.

WE HAVE TO BRING PEOPLE INTO THE CONVERSATION AND YOU DO THAT THROUGH RESPECTFUL LEADERSHIP.

YOU DO THAT BY RESPECTING PEOPLE EVEN WHEN THEY DISAGREE WITH YOU.

IMPORTANTLY, WHEN PEOPLE DISAGREE WITH MY OPPONENT HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT, WE SEE THAT PUBLICLY AND HERE IT PRIVATELY AND WE HEAR EVEN WITH PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT ME IN THIS CAMPAIGN.

>> MAYOR DALEY, SAME QUESTION.

>> Dozier: I DON'T JUST DEAL WITH WINDOWS AND RUMORS, I HAVE A CONSISTENT RECORD, ALWAYS MAKE IT A POINT TO REACH OUT TO SUPPORTERS OF OPPONENTS, MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND, AS A NONPARTISAN ELECTED OFFICIAL WE DO WHAT WE CAN TO REPRESENT EVERYBODY.

IN FACT, I HAVE SOME GREAT RELATIONSHIPS OVER THE YEARS WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO AT THE OUTSET SUPPORTED MY OPPONENT, IN PREVIOUS ELECTIONS AS WELL.

WE GOT A TRACK RECORD OF BRINGING THIS COMMUNITY TOGETHER.

>> WE EARLIER SAID WE CIRCLED BACK TO ETHICS.LET'S DO THAT.

THIS WILL BE A 30-2ND OPENER AND SOME FOLLOW-UPS.ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THE LEVEL OF ETHICS OVERSIGHT AND BLUEPRINT BOARD AND STAFF, WHAT WOULD YOU PROPOSE AS AN ALTERNATIVE?

>> Dozier: 30 SECONDS.

THE STRONGEST ETHICS REFORM PACKAGE IN ONE HUNDRED 98 YEAR HISTORY OF THE CITY AND WE HAVE THE STARKEST ETHICS REFORM PACKAGE OF ANY MUNICIPALITY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

I'M COMFORTABLE WITH WHERE WE ARE BUT IF THERE'S MORE WORK TO BE DONE WE WILL ENTERTAIN ANY AND ALL IDEAS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

I WAS ONE OF THE CITY COMMISSIONERS WHO VOTED TO EXTEND THE TALLAHASSEE ETHICS BOARD JURISDICTION TO CITY COMMISSIONERS THAT SERVE ON THE CRA, SERVE ON BLUEPRINT AND CRT PA AND THE TRANSPARENCIES IMPORTANT.

>> KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER, SAME QUESTION.WE HAVE THE STRONGEST ETHICS REFORMS THE CITY HAS EVER SEEN.

WE HAVE GOOD PROGRESS.

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THAT BOARD SUCH AS REFINING, THE DEFINITION OF LOBBYISTS.

THE CITY COMMISSION HAS HEARD THAT BUT THEY HAVE NOT MOVED FORWARD ON THE MAJORITY RECOMMENDATIONS.

YOU CAN LOOK AT THEIR ANNUAL REPORT AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THEY ACCEPT IS WHATTHEY DIDN'T.I THINK WE NEED TO DO A LOT MORE IMPORTANTLY FOR A BLUEPRINT FOR CRA AND OTHER OUTSIDE AGENCIES, NOT JUST EXTENDING ETHICS FOR CITY COMMISSIONERS.

WE NEED TO HAVE ETHICS RULES WITHIN THOSE INDEPENDENT AGENCIES THE COVERALL COMMISSIONS.

>> IF WE ARE SUCH A LEADER, AND SO CRITICAL OF A PARENT CITY IN ACTIONS ON THE TOP.

YOU FIRST.

>> Dozier: I STARTED TO GET THAT IN THE LAST COMMENT, THEY MADE A NUMBER OF RECOMMENDATIONS.

LET'S THINK ABOUT EXTENDING THE DEFINITION OF LOBBYIST.

THAT IS ONE THAT WHEN IT CAME TO THE CITY COMMISSION MY MEMORY IS THERE'S TWO REASONS NOT TO PASS THIS.

IT IS SOMETHING NEW IN THE STATE.

IT IS OUT OF STEP WITH BLUEPRINT GROUPS.THAT IS EASY.

YOU MAKE A MOTION TO CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF LOBBYIST.

WE ARE OFTEN A LEADER IN THESE AREAS.

WHY NOT KEEP THAT GOING?

I UNDERSTAND WHY THE ETHICS BOARD IS CONCERNED AND WE NEED TO ADDRESS A LOT OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

>> Dozier: THE DEFINITION OF A LOBBYIST IS THE EXACT SAME AS THE COUNTY'S DEFINITION OF A LOBBYIST, THE SAME AS THE DEFINITION OF A LOBBYIST FOR A BLUEPRINT BECAUSE THE CITY ATTORNEY, THE BLUEPRINT ATTORNEY AND COUNTY ATTORNEY SAID THAT BASED ON CASE LAW IT IS EASIER TO PROSECUTE IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR DEFINITION.

THE SAME QUESTION, WHY HAVEN'T THEY MADE THE MOTION TO CHANGE THE DEFINITION WHERE WE CAN ALL MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER BUT BASED ON THE RECORDATION OF THE ATTORNEYS WE DECIDED TO STAY WHERE WE WERE.>> WHY DO YOU THINK THE SAME PEOPLE WHO CREATED THE ETHICS BOARD ARE SO CRITICAL?

>> Dozier: YOU SHOULD ASK THOSE INDIVIDUALS.I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT.

>> WHAT MESSAGE DO YOU HAVE TO ENCOURAGE THE TURNOUT OF BLACK VOTERS IN THIS COMMUNITY AND WE WILL START WITH JOHN E. DAILEY.

HUNSCHOFSKY EVERY VOTE COUNTS AND WE HAVE THE GOAL TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET OUT AND VOTE.

IN THIS CASE OUR TRACK RECORDS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT MY SUPPORT OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS AND ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND URBAN COURT, MY VOTE IN SUPPORT OR VOTE AGAINST THE STADIUM, MY PARTNERSHIP WITH UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY.

THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY KNOWS THERE'S A LOT AT STAKE AT THIS ELECTION AND WILL HAVE A LARGE TURNOUT.

>> KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER.

>> Dozier: THE QUESTION IS WHY SHOULD WE TURN AND DONATE ENCOURAGE THE TURNOUT OF BLACK VOTERS?

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BECOME DISCOURAGED.

THEY DON'T FEEL HEARD.

ONE THING WE DISTILLED IS THIS FOREVER PLANNING THE CITY HAS BEEN IN.

WE'VE TAKEN A LOT OF STEPS WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD FIRST PLANS.

WE NEED ACTION, WE NEED TO INVEST AND I'M GLAD FOR THE PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE BUT THEY HAVEN'T SEEN A LOT OF CHANGE OVER THE YEAR.

I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE DISCOURAGED.

THEY WANT TO SEE MORE ACTION BUT OUR TRACK RECORDS ARE NOT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.I SUPPORTED ALL THE SAME INVESTMENT IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT ON THE SOUTH SIDE IN THE COUNTY SUPPORTS THE NEIGHBORHOOD FIRST PROGRAMS, I AM GLAD FOR THAT.

I HOPE WE CAN GET BACK TO THIS, IT IS ABOUT PRIORITIES.

I WOULD HAVE SUPPORTED FUNDING FROM A DIFFERENT SOURCE BUT I WAS PROTECTIVE OF THE ATOMIC DEVELOPED FUNDS BECAUSE WE NEED JOBS.

'S >> IT IS MY TURN.

THERE WE GO.

WE GOT A QUESTION FROM A READER WHICH IS A GOOD ONE.

WE LIVE IN A COMMUNITY WITH THE POOREST ZIP CODE IN THE STATE AND WHAT HAS BEEN CALLED ONE OF THE MOST SEGREGATED SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN THE STATE.

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT SUCH A BIG PROBLEM AS A COMMISSIONER AND MAYOR?

STARTING WITH JOHN E. DAILEY.

HUNSCHOFSKY DON'T THINK I CAN ENTER THE SCHOOL DISTRICT QUESTION BECAUSE THAT IS A SEPARATE BODY EXCEPT PLEDGE MY SUPPORT AS MAYOR AND CONTINUOUSLY WORK TO HELP THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE AND WE HAVE TO HAVE A MAYOR THAT WILL LEAD THE WAY AND I APPRECIATE ACKNOWLEDGING THE AMAZING WORK THE CITY HAS DONE INVESTING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, INVESTING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF TALLAHASSEE, INVESTING IN 30304.WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

WHEN THIS ARTICLE VOTES COME UP, THE NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE IN ALABAMA STREET, I SUPPORT.

IT IS IMPORTANT WE LOOK AT OUR TRACK RECORD AND LOOK AT THE VOTES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE AND WHO HAS BEEN THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY INTO HIS COME IN AT THE LAST MINUTE IN THE ELECTION SEASON.>> KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER, SAME QUESTION.

>> Dozier: YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE, I DID SUPPORT ALABAMA, THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT I WANT ACTION THAT IS GOING TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE AND I MAY HAVE QUESTIONS IN THE BEGINNING BUT I SUPPORTED IT WHEN I GOT TO THE FINAL VOTE.

THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.

DIGGING INTO THE DETAILS AND LOOKING AT STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES.

THE COUNTY HAS DONE A LOT OF WORK TO DIG INTO THE NUMBERS IN 32324 SO WE CAN GET THE DATA AND MAKE STRATEGIC DECISIONS TO ADDRESS THAT.

THE CITY CAN DO THE SAME.

THE SCHOOL SYSTEM I COMPLETELY REJECT THE IDEA THAT WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

I COME HOME AND WFSU FOR THE PODCAST SERIES AND IN THE REPORTING ON THE MOST SEGREGATED SCHOOL SYSTEM, SENATOR MUMFORD SAID THIS WAS ABOUT ZONING AND I CANNOT DEVELOPED, THOSE ARE CITY AND COUNTY DECISIONS.

>> WE WILL CHANGE THE PACE EVEN THOUGH WE ARE MOVING QUICKLY.LET'S GO QUICKER.

THE LIGHTNING ROUND, LOOKING FORABOUT A SENTENCE.

I WILL START WITH KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER.

WHAT STORY DOES YOUR CAMPAIGN-FINANCE ELBOW?

>> Dozier: THAT WE ARE SUPPORTED BY THE MOST DIVERSE GROUP OF CITY OF TALLAHASSEE RESIDENTS.THEY REPRESENT DIFFERENT POLITICAL PERSPECTIVES.

EVERY PART OF THE COMMUNITY THAT CAN DONATE $5 AND $1000.

>> JOHN E. DAILEY, SAME QUESTION.

>> Dozier: ALL DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE, IN THE DIRECTION WE ARE HEADING.

>> WHAT STORY DOES YOUR OPPONENT'S CAMPAIGN FINANCE?

>> WONDERFUL INVESTIGATION FROM THE FLORIDA ELECTIONS COMMISSION ON COMPLAINT FILED, AND OUT OF JACKSONVILLE, >> YOU CAN ADDRESS THAT BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE OTHER QUESTION.

>> Dozier: BEFORE I ANNOUNCE MY CANDIDACY IN MARCH, HE INVOKED THE DARK MONEY.

HADN'T RAISED A DIME.

FOR SOMEONE WHO RECEIVED SO MUCH MONEY HE KNOWS THE SYSTEM.

THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT WORTH THE PAPER WAS PRINTED ON.

I CAN'T SAY MORE AND HE KNOWS THIS BECAUSE IT IS IN PROCEEDINGRIGHT NOW.

>> WHAT DID THEY TELL VOTERS?

>> DONORS THAT SUPPORT THE VISION.

THAT IS ONE VISION FOR TALLAHASSEE, SUPPORTS WHO THOSE WHO ARE CLOSEST TO GET ANY DEVELOPED DONE WHO DON'T WANT TO HAVE OTHER PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS TO MAKE THE BEST DECISION FOR THE COMMUNITY.

>> WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED ENDORSEMENT AND WHY?

KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER.

>> Dozier: I WILL START WITH THEFIREFIGHTERS.

I HAVE WORKED WITH FIREFIGHTERS AS A COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

WE ASSESS THE FIRE SERVICE FEE.

I LOOK FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CITY.

>> JOHN E. DAILEY, MOST PRIZED ENDORSEMENT AND WHY.

>> Dozier: THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, REALTORS, CAPITAL OUTLOOK WHICH I RECEIVED YESTERDAY.

THE MOST IMPORTANT HAS TO BE FROM HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN TALLAHASSEE THAT HAVE NOT ONLY CONTRIBUTED BUT SIGNED THE ENDORSEMENT, >> THE COMMUNITY WILL CELEBRATE ITS BICENTENNIAL.WHAT WOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE YOU WOULD SHARE ABOUT TALLAHASSEE?DURING THAT TIME IN ONE SENTENCE.

>> THE PAST 2 YEARS WE SCORED A PERFECT ONE HUNDRED ON MUNICIPALEQUALITY INDEX.

WE ARE COMMUNITY A COMMUNITY OF LOVE, ACCEPTANCE, AND KNOWN FOR OUR BEAUTY, AND QUALITY OF LIFE.

>> Dozier: WERE COMMUNITY ON THE MOVE, ONE THAT RECOGNIZES AND SUPPORTS ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, LIFTING UP THOSE LIVING IN POVERTY AND CREATING MORE OPPORTUNITIES AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES LIKE NEVER BEFORE TO BRING IN NEW JOBS AND A NEW SKILL SET.

>> WHAT IS ONE WHERE YOU AS A COMMISSIONER CAN HELP DEAL WITH INFLATION?ONE SENTENCE.

KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER.

>> Dozier: THIS IS A TOUGH ONE BUT IT HAS TO GO TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, USING MECHANISMS LIKE LAND TRUST AND OTHERS.

>> WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT MORE.

WE 27.

HUNSCHOFSKY WE HAVE THE FASTEST-GROWING PER CAPITA IN FLORIDA.IT IS ABOUT JOBS.JOB CREATION.

>> WHAT BLUEPRINT PROJECT DO YOU THINK WAS A BIG WIN FOR TALLAHASSEE TAXPAYERS AND WHERE DO THEY FALL SHORT?

>> Dozier: VASQUEZ PARK WAS HUGE, INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED STORMWATER FACILITY THAT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER.>> ONE THAT FELL SHORT?

>> Dozier: I DON'T HAVE A BLUEPRINT PROJECT THAT HAS FALLEN SHORT.17 PROJECTS CURRENTLY.

>> WHAT IS A BIG WIN FOR TALLAHASSEE BLUEPRINT AND ONE THAT FELL SHORT?

>> Dozier: I WOULD SAY CASCADES PARK AND ARE ALSO SAY FAMU AND THE STORMWATER MITIGATION THAT IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

ONE THAT FELL SHORT, I SUPPORTED WULANI BOULEVARD BUT IT WAS A CHALLENGING PROCESS AND WE COULD HAVE DONE THAT BETTER BUT I CAN'T SAY THERE'S A PROJECT THAT FELL SHORT BECAUSE I DID SUPPORT THAT PROJECT.

>> QUESTION FROM A READER.

AS MAYOR OF TALLAHASSEE WOULD YOU SUPPORT REDIRECTING FUNDS FROM TPD'S BUDGET TO OTHER SERVICES THAT COULD REDUCE OR ADDRESS CRIME?

KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER.

>> Dozier: THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO.

WHAT I HEAR WHEN I AM WALKING NEIGHBORHOODS, MEETING WITH THE COMMUNITY, FOCUS ON THE SOUTHSIDE RIGHT NOW, THEY DON'T FEEL WE HAVE AN OF PATROL OFFICERS, RESPONSE TIME IS SLOW.I HEAR THAT FROM OTHER DISTRICTS AROUND THE COMMUNITY AND THE BUDGET FOR PATROL OFFICERS HAS DECREASED OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

OTHER PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN CREATED THAT NEEDS TO HAVE MORE ANALYSIS.

>> Dozier: I WOULD NOT SUPPORT THE DECREASE IN THE POLICE BUDGET, WE NEED TO GET CREATIVE IN THE BUDGET PROGRAM TO MAKE SURE WE ARE FULLY SUPPORTING THOSEPROGRAMS BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

>> YOU MADE IT THROUGH THE LIGHTNING ROUND AND WE ARE TIRED.

WE HAVE AN ETHANOL THE QUESTIONS.

WHAT IS ONE QUESTION YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOUR OPPONENT, 45 SECONDS TO ANSWER AND WE WILL REVERSE.

>> Dozier: YESTERDAY AT THE CAPITAL OUTLOOK ENDORSEMENT INTERVIEW WHICH I WAS PROUD TO RECEIVE UNANIMOUSLY YOU STATED IN REGARDS TO THE VOTE THAT TOOK PLACE WITH THE DOUBLETREE THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN ETHICAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST BUT YOU DID NOT ASK WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS FROM THE OPINION OF THE ATTORNEY.

IN THE LAST 24 HOURS HAVE YOU ASKED THE ATTORNEY FOR A LEGAL OPINION ON WHETHER IT WAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND IF NOT, AS YOU STATED YESTERDAY, WILL YOU, QUOTE, OWN IT?

>> Dozier: THAT IS NOT HOW I FRAMED IT YESTERDAY.

WHAT I SAID WAS IT WAS SURPRISING.

I LOOKED AT THE MINUTES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

THAT PROJECT WAS NEVER FUNDED.

IT WAS NEVER DONE.

WHEN SOMEONE APPLIES THROUGH THE CRA IT IS AN ESTIMATE AND A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE HAVE MULTIPLE ESTIMATES.

THIS HAPPENED MANY YEARS AGO AND YOU KNOW THIS WELL.IT IS NOT A COUNTY ATTORNEY DECISION.

WOULD HAVE BEEN A CITY ATTORNEY BECAUSE THEY STAFFED THE CRA.

THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT I COULD HAVE ASKED.

IMPORTANTLY, YOU SAID IN YOUR TAX THERE ARE MULTIPLE VOTES.

THE TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT ASKED THE QUESTION YOU COULD ONLY CITE ONE.IT WAS NOT AN ETHICAL DECISION AND I STAND BY THAT.

>> WHAT IS ONE QUESTION YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK JOHN E. DAILEY?

>> Dozier: YOU COVERED THIS EARLIER BUT I'M GOING TO TRY AGAIN.

YOU'VE BEEN DISMISSIVE OF QUESTIONS RAISED.

HOW WOMEN FEEL THEY HAVE BEEN TREATED IN PUBLIC AND IN PRIVATE, YOU CITED ONE EXAMPLE THAT HAPPENED AT A CITY COMMISSION MEETING BUT HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND TO THOSE WOMEN EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TREATED THEM BADLY?

HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND TO THEM BECAUSE YOU LEFT THEM WITH THAT FEELING WHEN THEY WALK OUT OF THE OFFICE?

IF THE 30 I NEVER MEET WITH ANYBODY ONE ON ONE.THERE'S MORE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM.

I'VE DONE THAT FOR 60 YEARS.

EVERYBODY HERE TODAY AT THE STATION.

IF THERE IS SOMEONE THAT FEELS THEY'VE BEEN MISTREATED I WILL TALK TO THEM.

LET'S TALK INCLUDING YOUR SELF, SERVED TOGETHER ON THE COUNTY COMMITTEE.

THEY TRAVEL TO GATHER, USE LIKE THE CARTOON CHARACTER AS OF PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR BUT OVER A BEER WE NEVER -- WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING.

I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO ANYBODY WHO FEELS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM PERSONALLY AND I SPEAK TO ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS TODAY.

>> LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS CRITICIZED BY SOME CITIZENS AS MORE RESPONSIVE TO THE BUSINESS AND THE RELEVANT COMMUNITY AND ORDINARY CITIZENS.

IS THIS PERCEPTION FAIR AND WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT?

WE WILL START WITH YOU, 45 SECONDS.

>> Dozier: EVERYBODY'S OPINION IS IMPORTANT AND ALL PERCEPTIONS ARE IMPORTANT.

WHEN DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC WE HAVE TO TAKE EVERYONE'S OPINION INTO ACCOUNT AND I WILL TELL YOU WE HAVE THE HOUSING CRISIS IN THIS COMMUNITY AND HAVE TO HAVE A SERIOUS CONVERSATION HOW TO SUSTAINABLY GROW HERE IN TALLAHASSEE.

I TAKE PRIDE IN MAYOR MAKING SURE EVERYONE HAS A SEAT AT THE TABLE AND VOICE IN THE PROCESS.>> THANK YOU.

KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER.

>> Dozier: THAT'S NOT HOW MOST OF US FEEL.WHEN IT DEVELOPED PROJECT HITS OUR DESK THROUGH PLAN REVISION OF BLUEPRINT OR SOMETHING ELSE THE EXPERIENCE IS MY OPPONENT ISREADY ON DAY ONE.

BEFORE WE HEAR FROM CITIZENS OR GET TO ASK QUESTIONS, WE HAVE ENDED UP SUPPORTING VIRTUALLY ALL THE SAME INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT AND BUSINESS PROJECTS THAT HAVE COME FORWARD FROM AMAZON TO SOUTHSIDE INFRASTRUCTURE BUT IMPORTANTLY WHAT I DO IS TRY TO LISTEN.

IF YOU LIVE IN BUCK HEAD YOU WANT PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO YOUR CONCERNS BEFORE MAKING A FINAL DECISION.I THINK THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE AND THAT IS WHY PEOPLE ARE UPSET.

WE WILL NEVER PLEASE EVERYONE BUT THE PROCESS MATTERS.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT DOC AND BRAG.

WHAT SHOULD YOUR OPPONENT OF DONE WITH THE STADIUM DEAL?

>> Dozier: EVERYTHING FROM DAY ONE.

YOU ARE EITHER WITH FSU OR AGAINST FSU.

HE DISMISSED YEARS OF WORK AT OFFICE OF ECONOMIC VITALITY THAT HAVE BEEN PREPARING AND STUDYINGWHAT WE NEED IN THIS COMMUNITY TO GET REAL QUALITY JOBS FOR ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE, TO GET WORKFORCE EDUCATION AND HELP ENTREPRENEURS.

HE DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE HISTORY, THE BUDGET, HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD BE LEFT WITH US IF WE MADE THIS DECISION AND DID NOT WAIT FOR THOSE FACTS TO HEARFROM THE PUBLIC.

>> WHAT SHOULD YOUR OPPONENT OF THE INDIFFERENT?

HUNSCHOFSKY SHOULD HAVE VOTED IN FAVOR OF IT AND IN FAVOR OF BRAG AS WELL.

WANT TO HAVE A UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT WHO COMES TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGENCY AND SAYS IF WE DON'T JOIN TOGETHER IN PARTNERSHIP MOVING FORWARD WE WILL NOT BE PLAYING FOOTBALL IN TALLAHASSEE WHICH FSU AND FAMU, TOWARD A BILLION-DOLLAR ECONOMY IN TALLAHASSEE AND TO LOOK THE PRESIDENT IN THE EYE AND TELL THEM NO, NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM, NOT WILLING TO SUPPORT THE BUSINESSES ON PERRY STREET, NOT SUPPORT THE HOTELS AND GAS STATIONS.

>> CAN YOU RESPOND TO THAT IN A DIRECT QUESTION?

I HAVE A FOLLOW-UP FOR JOHN E. DAILEY.YOU WERE PART OF THE MAJORITY OF BOARD MEMBERS WHO DIDN'T ALLOW AN UP OR DOWN VOTE CHOOSING INSTEAD TO INCLUDE IT WITH A NUMBER OF NONCONTROVERSIAL AND IMPORTANT COMMUNITY PROJECTS, SEVERAL BLUEPRINT BOARD MEMBERS MIGHT HAVE VOTED FOR THE OTHER PROJECTS AND THEY BEEN GIVEN A CHANCE.

IS IT FAIR TO CRITICIZE HER FOR THAT?

>> Dozier: WE TOOK SIX VOTES OVERALL, THIS ITEM HAD BEEN TALKED ABOUT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, BROAD COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AFTER 5 VOTES AND IT IS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD.

IN A DEMOCRACY, THE MAJORITY OF US DECIDED WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AND THAT IS HOW THE PROCESS WORKS.

IT IS OUR JOB IF WE ARE IN THE MINORITY TO TRY TO CONVINCE OUR OTHER COLLEAGUES WHY THEY SHOULD CHANGE THEIR OPINION AND THAT WAS NOT DONE.

>> Dozier: THERE WERE FOUR VOTESIN LESS THAN A YEAR, NOT SIX.

WE GOT NEW INFORMATION IN DECEMBER WHICH WAS THE THIRD VOTE AND IMPORTANTLY THIS WAS RUSHED THROUGH SO FAST IN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS, NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC SHOWED UP AT ONE MEETING IN SEPTEMBER.

THEY CAME IN DECEMBER.QUITE BLUNTLY I'M LISTENING AND RESPONDING TO THE COMMUNITY, TO THEIR QUESTIONS TRYING TO GET MORE INFORMATION FROM OUR STAFF AND THAT WAS A STRUGGLE.

>> YOU HAVE RAILED AGAINST FUNDING FOR FSU STADIUM YOU VOTED AGAINST CRITICAL REPAIRS TO BRAG STADIUM, A UNIVERSITY THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE RESOURCES OF FSU.

IS IT FAIR CRITICISM THAT YOU DIDN'T SUPPORT FAMU IN ITS TIME OF NEED?

>> Dozier: MY AUNT IT DOESN'T FIT ON A BILLBOARD.

DURING VIRTUAL MEETINGS DURING THE PANDEMIC WHAT I ARGUED FOR WAS CITY AND COUNTY TO STEP BACK AND LOOK FOR OTHER FUNDING FOR BRAGG.

I WOULD HAVE SUPPORTED FUNDING BECAUSE THERE'S A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE, FAMU DOES NOT GET THE RESOURCES AND WE DIDN'T SEE THE FOOTBALL SEASON WITHOUT FOOTBALL AT BRAG STADIUM.

WE COULD HAVE TAKEN A COUPLE MONTHS, MET THE BONDING SCHEDULE.

BUT IMPORTANTLY, HOW ELSE DO WE SUPPORT THE UNIVERSITIES?I HAVE DONE TRAUMA DISMOUNT TO SUPPORT FAMU THROUGH MY WORK AT INNOVATION PARK WHICH RESULTED IN 17 ACRES OF DEVELOPED LAND, $70 MILLION JUST FOR ONE DECISION.

>> 15 SECONDS TO CLOSE OUT.

>> Dozier: WHAT SHE SAID IS INACCURATE.

WHEN FAMU RECEIVES THE KEYS TO BRAGG STADIUM TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE SEASON BEGINS WE DID NOT HAVE MONTHS AND MONTHS TO SIT BACK, THERE WAS A SOLID PLANE IN PLACE AS PROPOSED BY PRESIDENT ROBINSON AND I UNDERSTAND THE PROPOSAL.

WHENEVER A MOTION WAS MADE.>> ALL RIGHT.

WHAT WE HAVE, SOME DEVELOP AND STUFF TO TALK ABOUT.

WE HAVE BEATEN THAT HORSE AROUNDA LITTLE BIT.

HOW DO WE INCENTIVIZE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ENSURE THAT IT DOES LEAVE UP TO THAT LABEL FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT STILL DESPITE STRUGGLES STRUGGLES WITH HIS SPOT AS THE HIGHEST POVERTY IN THE STATE.45 SECONDS, JOHN E. DAILEY FIRST.

>> Dozier: THE COUNTY HAS COME TO THE TABLE TO DISCUSS IT AS WELL.

AS REPRESENTATIVE ON THE AFFORD A HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE WORKING HAND-IN-HAND WITH MY COLLEAGUE NICK MADDOX.

WE TALKED SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS.

HOW DO WE CREATE NEW FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO MOVE FORWARD SPECIFICALLY TOWARDS AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO IT IS MORE INTERESTING FOR THE DEPARTMENT COMMUNITY TO MOVE FORWARD?

HAVING SAID THAT AFFORD A HOUSING IS A TOP PRIORITY OF THECITY OF TALLAHASSEE.

WE HAVE MORE UNITS BEING BUILT THAN WE HAD IN THE PAST FOUR DECADES, BUT WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.

>> Dozier: OPORTO HOUSING COMMITTEE ON CITY AND COUNTY, LAND TRUST, THE NUMBER OF UNITS QUOTED, THAT IS BECAUSE THE LONG WORK OF MANY OF US FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS, WE STARTED WORKING WITH NONPROFITS.

WE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS.

HOWEVER, THERE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS, SIMPLE CHANGES THAT ARE MADE IN CITY GROWTH MANAGEMENT, THE OPORTO HOUSING AT HAS REPRIMANDED -- RECOMMENDED.

WE COULD EXPLORE EXPEDITED PERMITTING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT THERE'S ONE THING TO LOOK AT.

WHEN THE CITY OWNS PROPERTY AND THEY DECIDE TO SELL THAT PROPERTY WE SHOULD LOOK FIRST AND FOREMOST AT THE LAND TRUST BUT IF IT IS A LARGE TRACK IT SHOULD BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FIRST.THERE'S LARGE TRACT OF LAND NEAR FRENCHTOWN THAT WAS SOLD WITHOUT A BID TO A STUDENT HOUSING DEVELOPER AND A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

>> FROM HOUSING TO HOMELESSNESS, 430 SECONDS, MUCH MORE VISIBLE ISSUE THAN BEFORE, WHERE ARE WE MITIGATING?

>> Dozier: WE HAVE TO HAVE MORE PERMANENT HOUSING, MORE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING.

OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.

IT WAS VERY TOUGH ON EVERYONE DURING THE PANDEMIC AND THIS DID CHANGE THE DYNAMICS AND IT IS MORE VISIBLE, THE NUMBERS ARE HIGHER THAN BEFORE THE PANDEMIC BUT THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

THE CARE BOARD, I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT WHAT IT TAKES TO GET MORE FUNDING FROM STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, IT TAKES PARTNERSHIP AND WE DID NOT SEE PARTNERSHIPS START A YEAR AGO AT THE CITY AND WE NEED TO GET MORE FUNDING IN.

>> Dozier: WE HAVE TO CONTINUE DOING IT, I AGREE THAT I DON'T THINK THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC DID ANY COMMUNITY ANY FAVORS WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE DEALING WITH HOMELESSNESS AND EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.

WE HAVE DEDICATED $6 MILLION ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT WE DO, FUNDING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THAT PARTNERSHIP.

WE ARE SUPPORTING LOCAL NONPROFITS SPECIFICALLY WITH THEIR STREET OUTREACH WHICH ALLOWS THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THOSE INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS TO GETTHEM THE RESOURCES THEY NEED.

>> WE CAN'T DEPART THE ISSUE WITHOUT DEVELOPING THE AMAZON SITUATION.

WAS A GOOD YIELD FOR THE SEE?FOR THE SEA?THEY ARE DARLING BACK THERE EXPANSION PLANS SO HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THEY STAND BY THEIR PART OF THE DEAL THAT OWN THEM TO MILLION DOLLARS IN INCENTIVES?

>> Dozier: THE AMAZON ANNOUNCEMENT, ONE OF THE GREAT ANNOUNCEMENTS OF THE PAST YEAR AND I THINK AMAZON WILL BE A GREAT COMMUNITY PARTNER.I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THEM.

I'M SURE THEY ARE WATCHING THE ECONOMY.

DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE BRINGING BACK THERE EXPANSION PLANS ON A PERMANENT BASIS.I DO KNOW THEY ARE EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING AT THE AIRPORT AS WELL AND THE POTENTIAL SO I AM VERY EXCITED AND THRILLED TO HAVE AMAZON IN OUR COMMUNITY AND I'M SURE THEY WILL BE A GREAT ADDITION.

>> Dozier: IT WAS GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THERE ARE A LOT OF CHALLENGES, SOME THAT AMAZON THEMSELVES CAN'T AND SHOULDN'T ADDRESS.

WHEN I SAY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO IT IS BASED ON OUR RULES, CITY AND COUNTY NEEDS TO LOOK AT TRAFFIC CONGESTION, BUS SERVICE, A LOT OF THINGS THAT WILL MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF THIS LARGE FACILITY WITHIN NEIGHBORHOODS SURROUNDINGIT.

IMPORTANTLY, ON THE INCENTIVES, THIS TYPE OF INCENTIVE WHICH OTHER BUSINESSES HAVE GOT IS BASED ON MEETING THEIR GOALS.

THEY DON'T GET THE MONEY OUT RIGHT BUT THEY GET THE MONEY WHEN THEY MEET THEIR GOALS FOR JOB CREATION AND OTHER ISSUES SO I BELIEVE WE DON'T HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THEM MEETING THEIR GOALS, THEY WILL ONLY GET THE MONEY IF THEY DO SO.

>> WE HAVE COVERED A LOT OF TOPICS.

I'M SURE THERE IS ONE WEAKNESS THAT IS ON YOUR MIND, WHAT IS ONE IMPORTANT ISSUE WE'VE NOT DISCUSSED IN THIS FORUM?

30 SECONDS.

>> Dozier: AN IMPORTANT ISSUE WEHAVE TOUCHED ON BUT DRILLING DOWN INTO HOW WE CREATE QUALITY JOBS IN THIS COMMUNITY AND WORKFORCE TRAINING PROGRAMS PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF THE DECISION MADE ON DOAK.

WE COULD HAVE WITHSTOOD THE FUNDING FOR BRAGG.THIS IS SOMETHING OUR ENTIRE LIVES, PEOPLE TALK ABOUT DIVERSIFYING THE ECONOMY.

THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IS HURTING FOR SKILLED LABOR.

WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THAT MORE.

OMPHROY 30>> Dozier: JOB CREATION IMPACTS HOUSING, HEALTHCARE, MENTAL HEALTH CARE MOVING FORWARD.

$150 MILLION WORTH OF PRIVATE INVESTMENT THIS YEAR ALONE.

WITH GOOD PAYING JOBS HERE IN TALLAHASSEE.>> YOU, CHARTER REVIEW IF ELECTED.

WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THE CHARTER CHANGED?

>> Dozier: I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CITY COMMISSION EXPAND TO A 7-MEMBER.

IT BETTER SERVES THE COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE A COMMUNITY OF 200,000 BUT THE SEVENTH LARGEST CITY, THERE ARE MANY MUNICIPALITIES SMALLER THAN US, 7-MEMBER'S INSTEAD OF 5 MEMBERS.IF I LEAVE IT UP TO THE COMMUNITY TO DECIDE THE MAKEUP OF A DISTRICT SEAT OR AT LARGE SEAT, WITH CASTLE MANAGEMENT.

I THINK WE WOULD NEED MORE REPRESENTATION ON THE CITY COMMISSION.

>> WHAT YOU THINK OF THE CHARTER REVIEW AND THAT PLAN SPECIFICALLY?

>> Dozier: IT IS LONG OVERDUE.

WE HEARD THE SAME MESSAGE OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS, WE CAN DO THAT BUT WE NEED A CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE.

WONDER HOW IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET.WE NEED TO DO THIS SOON.

IT IS OVERDUE AND THERE ARE A HOST OF ISSUES WE CAN LOOK AT BUT ON THIS WHEN I AGREE ONE ISSUE WE NEED TO TAKE UP IS EXPANDING THE CITY COMMISSION.

THAT WILL PROVIDE MORE REPRESENTATION FOR VARIOUS PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY BUT THIS IS ONE AREA WE AGREE OUR CITY IS GROWING.

WE NEED MORE PEOPLE TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS INVOLVED.

>> ONE LAST QUESTION BEFORE CLOSING TIME.>> HOW DO YOU FEEL THE CITY SHOULD PRIORITIZE ADAPTATION OF THE EXISTING WATER, SEWER AND STORM WATER INFRASTRUCTURE?WE WILL START WITH YOU, 30 SECONDS.

>> Dozier: THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP.IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE.

OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS THE COUNTY HAS UNTERMAN THIS WORK, FROM SEPTIC TO SEWER, PARTICULARLY ON THE SOUTH SIDE, 60 MILLION.

I WAS ASTONISHED AS COUNTY COMMISSIONER, WE ONLY HEARD A RECOMMENDATION IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF THIS CAMPAIGN.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE LAST FOUR YEARS BECAUSE IT IS EXPENSIVE AND DIFFICULT.

WE NEED TO ADDRESS THOSE AREAS THAT HAVE SUFFERED LONG-TERM.

>> JOHN E. DAILEY, 30 SECONDS.

>> Dozier: I'M PROUD OF THEM MENAND WOMEN IN THE FRONT LINES.

OTHER COMMUNITIES LOOK TOWARDS US TO SEE WHAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT.

AS WE EXPAND, THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY, TO RETROFIT WHERE APPROPRIATE TO PROTECT OUR GROUNDWATER.

THE MEN AND WOMEN, THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS THE WORK FOR TALLAHASSEE ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB.

I VOTED TO SUPPORT THEM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

>> CLOSING TIME, 60 SECONDS.

DO VOTERS, JOHN E. DAILEY?

>> Dozier: THANK YOU FOR HOSTING TODAY, THIS HAS BEEN A LOT OF FUN.HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED IT AS MUCHAS I HAVE.

EVERY DAY I WAKE UP AND HAVE THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD NO MATTER HOW CHALLENGING IT MAY BE.WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO IN THE COMMUNITY.

THE PAST FOUR YEARS HAVE BEEN CHALLENGING FOR EACH OF US BUT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO COUNT ON ME AS YOUR MAYOR.

I TAKE PRIDE IN BEING EASILY ACCESSIBLE, MOVING THE COMMUNITYFORWARD.

MY OPPONENT AND I HAVE DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHIES HOW TO MOVE THE CITY FORWARD.

IF YOU LIKE BEING ONE OF THE TOP 10 CITIES IN THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES AND ARE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, PUBLIC UTILITY, ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING ECONOMIES PER CAPITA, JOIN ME AND STAY WITH ME.

MY NAME IS JOHN E. DAILEY, I AM RUNNING FOR MAYOR, I'M YOUR CURRENT MAYOR AND ALL WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.

>> KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER COMES 60 SECONDS.

>> Dozier: WE HAVE 20 DAYS AND TO THE GENERAL ELECTION AND THIS IS COULD GO FOR THE FUTURE OF THE COMMUNITY.

I HAVE BEEN HONORED TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY FOR 12 YEARS.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A TRACK RECORD OF LISTENING RESPECTFULLYTO ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

STUDYING THE ISSUES AND ASKING QUESTIONS THAT MOVE US FORWARD AND FIND CREATIVE SOLUTIONS AND NEW FUNDING TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES WE HAVE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES, THINGS WE'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE LIKE SUPPORT ENTREPRENEURS.

WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER.

TIME AND AGAIN THE ONE PLACE WE DON'T SEE COMING TO THE TABLE TO SUPPORT COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS IS THE CITY OF TALLAHASSEE.

THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT IDEAS IN THE CITY BUT WE ARE MIRED BY PERSONAL ATTACKS, NEGATIVITY.

WE NEED TO GET PAST THAT.

YES, WE HAVE A DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHY.

NOT ON HOW THE COMMUNITY SHOULD GROW BUT ON HOW WE WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO DO THAT.WE NEED SOMEONE IN CITY HALL AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, WE DESERVE SOMEONE WHO WILL RESPECT ALL OPINIONS.

I AM KRISTIN ELIZABETH DOZIER, ASKING YOUR VOTE AND YOUR SUPPORT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
