What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

County leaders in Leon County opposed a fire fee increase implemented by the City of Tallahassee last year. The dispute intensified after an independent review, hired by Leon County, found the City of Tallahassee’s fire services fund potentially mismanaged. The review estimated a revenue shortfall between $15.8 million and $21.2 million over two years, leading Leon County Commission Chair Christian Caban to demand refunds for allegedly unlawful billing of county residents.
