‘Not crazy about the name change, but it’s still a sweet gig!’

BY JAKE FULLER

  • Call it Jake!

    New name, same high-dollar executive contract, same “Farce” Folston laughing all the way to the bank. The commission set aside standard hiring benchmarks, ignored market pay studies, and handed out near-$200K compensation for zero director experience—all driven by demographic optics. It’s a slap in the face to the janitors, ditch diggers, and other laborers who earn their wages through intensive manual labor while top-level administrative bloat gets rewarded. Where’s their equitable wages and benefits? Besides his ethnicity, what did he bring to the table?

    He should be hiding.

  • I can’t wait until A 3 passes. Let’s see how they come up with the money to fund these useless positions that they have

  • Zeriah Folston in 2025 was employed at City of Gainesville and had an annual salary of $199,271, according to public records. This salary was 193 percent higher than the average and 212 percent higher than the median salary in City of Gainesville. I ponder what this guy does everyday for that kind of money….He certainly has burned through a number of positions to get there [9 in 10 years]. He is making the kind of money that an MD or Professional Engineer might make…and for what? What does he do?

    • According to their own website, they focused their efforts internally (the city government itself).

      So our bloated city government, where every employee is handpicked by some of the most liberal wackos in the country, spends millions of our tax dollars to pay people to investigate themselves to see if they are racist or not.

  • Funny for those lacking knowledge or virtue

    As a nonprofit law office founded by Bryan Stevenson in 1989, the Equal Justice Initiative represents clients sentenced to death and condemned to die in prison, challenges inhumane conditions of confinement, and works to expose racial bias in the criminal legal system. Seeing firsthand how excessive punishment, racial discrimination, and inequality are deeply rooted in America’s history of racial injustice inspired us to create the Legacy Sites. By offering these unique spaces for people to gather, learn, and reflect on our history and its legacy, we hope to foster a new era of truth and justice in America.
