I am interested in establishing this blog as a means of additional transparency to the public, outreach to the community, and information dissemination to all who choose to look. Feedback is welcome, but because public participation is equally encouraged, appropriate language and decorum is mandatory.

Beware of this Roof Mailer--This is NOT a County Program




Late yesterday afternoon many in Escambia County received an "official-looking" mailer like the one I received, above.

Looks like something official from Escambia County.

The problem--the county has not authorized this nor does the county have anything to do with this.

It looks like a sales job--misleading at best--a scam at worst.

So I am telling folks DO NOT call this number and DO NOT give them any information.  This is not a county program and there is no county program where we fund roofs up to $75K.  Nada.

Both the county attorney and the county administrator have been notified.  I am told the State Attorney has also been given a copy of this and told what is going on.

The county has sent out a press release, and Channel 3 is covering this story as well.
