Instant "Polling" of a town hall audience:
Yes, it is probably completely unscientific.
Yes, it is probably not statistically valid at all.
Nevertheless--It does give me a sense of where those that are concerned about local issues are leaning on particular topics of interest to District 1 Escambia County Residents.
And there are some striking commonalities between the audience responses in both of my recent town halls.
--100% agreement on term limits for all politicians.
--100% agreement on Sheriff as person who should run the jail.
--100% agreement on economic development as a valuable function of the county commission.
--100% DISAGREEMENT on the statement that "The Pensacola News Journal" is in step with our community's values....
Lots of areas of agreement.
So, even with the structural shortcomings of such an instant opinion poll--there is value in it and there is a viewpoint that I glean from these sessions.
With that in mind-----see the below sheet for how the residents at the Beulah town hall last night felt on each topic:
100% agree that economic development is a huge issue but yet you outsource and have ZERO accountability
