Under Andrew Gillum’s Mayorship, Tallahassee Ranked As The Most Dangerous City in Florida

Florida Democrat Andrew Gillum’s weak record as Mayor of Tallahassee continues to plague his struggling gubernatorial campaign. Under Gillum’s failed leadership, Tallahassee was recently ranked as the most dangerous city in Florida, with more violent crimes occurring in his city than any other metro area in the state. If Gillum can’t even protect the citizens of his city, he doesn’t deserve a promotion to the governorship.

FL Politics reports:

“Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum received some possibly unsettling news this week.

The Democratic candidate for governor, who has led Tallahassee since November 2014, learned that his city is the most dangerous in Florida.

That dubious distinction came by way of a survey from the blog 24/7 Wall St, which reviewed data from the FBI Uniform Crime Report to identify the dangerous metropolitan area in each state.

Tallahassee had 767 violent crimes for every 100,000 residents in 2015, far more than in any of Florida’s 21 other metro areas observed by the FBI. It was also well above the state’s violent crime rate of 461.9 per 100,000 (Florida was the 11th highest in the nation). Tallahassee also had a poverty rate of 22.4 percent and an unemployment rate: 4.4 percent.”
