Tallahassee’s firefighter union filed a state ethics complaint against City Manager Reese Goad last week alleging he misused his position by relaying a threat to union leaders seeking to find information about their budget.
Filed Wednesday with the Florida Commission on Ethics, the two-page complaint formalizes some of the same issues brought forward earlier this month when the firefighter’s union asked that their funding source, the city’s fire services fee, be audited.
The union claimed Goad threatened its leaders to stop making public records requests seeking information about the use of the fund.
City officials declined to comment on the ethics complaint.
