A Windfall Arrives.....



We heard about it last week, and today it arrived.  

The Windfall arrives!

The Board of County Commissioners received this check, above, today via courier.

It is an incredible sight to behold, a check that big.  Massive!

So many good things are going to be constructed and put into place for the citizens with this money--as according to our discussions last night it is "unrestricted" funding--meaning it can be used for any legitimate public purpose.

Split up 5 ways for each commissioner in his district--this equates to nearly $1.7 Million per commission district.

Boom!  What a windfall.

It makes me think of a catchy tune from the 80's band "Krokus" I saw performed live at the Pensacola Civic Center in 1985 as this obscure band opened for Kiss.

The song was purportedly about Dynamite Sticks exploding.... I think....supposedly........ The song was titled "Tonight, Long Stick Goes Boom!"  anyway--it was a catchy song unofficially known as the greatest AC/DC song AC/DC didn't record!

Bringing it into 2020 in Escambia County I'd say lets call today's version-----"Today, Big Check Goes Boom!" 

You can be sure there will be more to come on this cash, how it will be split, where it is going, and how it is going to be spent!!
