TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â On Wednesday, Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey asked Tallahassee Police Department Chief Lawrence Revell during the City Commission Retreat for an update on their plan to protect the capital city from potential uprisings around Inauguration Day.
This comes days after the FBI warned in an internal bulletin that armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols and at the U.S. Capitol. We do not have any specific intelligence, but, the national narrative that is going around, we are certainly aware of that and planning for that as well, said Chief Revell. I can tell you we have no specifics for our capitol or Tallahassee, other than the general rallies that are being advertised on different media sources.

In a letter addressed to Congress on Monday, Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey pleaded for lawmakers to âpass a relief bill equal to the need,â saying the recently approved relief bill is not enough.
The letter, which Mayor Dailey tweeted out from his Twitter account Monday, is a page and a half explaining how the $900 billion stimulus package is not enough.
âWe have too many families in our city that have been struggling for nearly a year now; a one-time $600/per person relief check does nothing more than scratch the surface of need,â Dailey wrote.
