Tinder reinstatement

Tinder said her resignation came in a heated moment but that she returned after overwhelming community support, and asked the commission to consider her record of truth and transparency.

Cited Florida law that verbal heat-of-the-moment resignations aren't binding and criticized officials she said pressured Tinder.

Said the past eight years have been difficult for the city, credited a prior mayor, and urged Tinder's return to the seat.

Tinder's daughter gave an emotional tribute to her mother's decade of service and asked why a truth-telling 76-year-old woman is seen as a threat.

Praised the mayor but said the rest of the commission is threatened by Tinder, the one member keeping them honest.

Repeated her signature argument: the charter requires a signed resignation, so put Judy back and be done.

Called Tinder a lifesaver, warned of coming tax impacts, and insisted a signature is required for resignation.

Showed up in pajamas after working since 4 a.m. to beg the commission to stop the drama and restore Tinder.
