S1 EP 102: Don Browning controversy and my thoughts on Ocala City Manager Sandra Wilson.

Ocala school board member Don Browning has been under fire lately, because he supposedly hired a driver to take him to Tallahassee and has hired an assistant. Well, I say Mr. Browning can do what he wants. These people who are being petty about it and pointing at Mr. Browning ridiculing him wouldn't be saying a word... had Governor Ron DeSantis chose Mr. Hanson for that school board position over Mr. Browning. The only reason they are speaking out is because of that fact. Also in late June of 2021, Ocala City Manager Sandra Wilson terminated Ocala Fire Chief Shane Alexander. Sandra Wilson termination letter accuses Alexander of "unprofessional conduct on several occasions" including undermining city council and the city manager... creating an uncomfortable work environment." So, there is now criticism of 2 city council members who are possibly leaning to terminate and replace Sandra Wilson. But, the same hypocritical reasoning applies as to the school board issue with Mr. Browning. In other words, the people now speaking out in support of Sandra Wilson are only doing so because city council member Kristen Dreyer beat Lori Martin Gregory by almost 400 votes in the city council race. Otherwise, they wouldn't be saying shit. Also, in my eyes she beat her twice. Once in the regular city council election in September, 2021 and in the run off in November, 2021. Ms. Dreyer kept the same nearly 400 vote lead in both races and beat Ms. Gregory by a resounding margin. I personally feel that City Manager Sandra Wilson should be terminated and replaced as her ability to lead has erroded. What is your opinion on all of this? I want to hear from you.
