Tempers flare during Dade County Commission meeting. The February Dade County Commission meeting got off to a rough start as County taxpayer John Huffman addressed commissioners during Citizens Participation. Huffman used his five minutes, in what more than one commissioner referred to as a “rant”, to voice his objection to the five minute time limit. Huffman accused commissioners of limiting the people and repeatedly accused commissioners of laughing at those who came to speak to them. Huffman also accused commissioners of not respecting the flag, showing favoritism in whether or not they stick to the five-minute speaking guideline, and stating repeatedly that they worked “for the people and not the other way around.” Huffman cited the five minute time limit as the reason the public does not attend meetings and said the commission takes pride in low attendance. Huffman said he was at the end of his five minutes and turned to leave the podium while Commissioner Melissa Bradford attempted to get his attention. Huffman kept stating his five minutes were over. Bradford angrily asked Huffman if he had ever called her. She asked the question multiple times throughout the next few minutes of conversation where Huffman quizzed Bradford on her name on her marriage certificate, implied she was lying, and asked if she had Googled herself.
