What, you mean you weren't lying at your Town Hall Commissioner Bergosh?
ReplyDeleteWhen will they ever learn.
It will be really nice to be able to move this project past the Doug Underhill/ECW misinformation campaigns on this project, otherwise known as
"Liars and Dupes, Inc."
Once we have it past US Fish and Wildlife, then we can focus on swatting down the legal attempts by surrounding condos.
Just not *too* quick. Let's watch their coffers drain slowly but surely first.
Here's something: if the Seafarer goes broke bringing this, maybe the County can buy it, get a grant to build that ugly monstrosity of a building down off the shoreline, and expand the preservation/public use model onto another plat.
As long as the Master Plan says we can.
Not.

Oh, and as a follow-up, they just now are officially off to the races over on Escambia Rose Airwaves. This'll be good.
ReplyDeleteKeep digging that hole. Man, that's some potent koolaid.

This is so encouraging! Thank you Commissioner Bergosh for your leadership in driving this project, it is most definitely appreciated by a large number of Escambia County residents. I'm looking forward to the day this beachfront opens and all can access the beach that was hidden for so long. Now if you can convince the other board members to direct staff to use the 1.6 million dollar grant that was initially approved by the Restore board using this parcel, there will be no problem finding the money to do this access up right and as designed. Thanks again for your commitment to the citizens.

The Seafarer OA lawsuit is a classic case of "I got mine, to hell with you" mentality. If/when this public access finally comes to fruition, they should hang their heads in shame.

Nasty Nasty people--even protect the corrupt sheriff and the political union budget suckers. Are they blind or just plan out corrupt yet posing..
