Guidelines

I am one member of a five person board. The opinions I express on this forum are mine only, and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the Escambia County Staff, Administrators, Employees, or anyone else associated with Escambia County Florida. 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. Although this is not my campaign site for re-election--sometimes campaign related information will be discussed, therefore in an abundance of caution I add the following : Political Advertisement Paid for and Approved by Jeff Bergosh, Republican, for Escambia County Commissioner District 1

Sent: My Response to the PNJ's Denial of My Guest View Submission

Campaign season or not, I won't stop sending "Letters to the Editor" and/or "Viewpoints" to the PNJ just as I have for the last 13 years...They can print them or not.  If they don't print them, for irrational, specious reasons-- that's their call.  I'll simply read them into the record at our public meetings instead.  😃


Here's what I sent to the PNJ when they finally responded to my initial request for a chance to refute their January 12th hatchet piece editorial.   They did finally respond with a NO to my request, after I had to send a second email (they blew-off the first one).   But the accompanying reasons for the NO were outrageously specious.

Bottom Line: They want no dissent, they have their own narrative, they will attack us (and whomever they want)  at will and however often they choose-------- and they do not want to hear from local elected officials that disagree with them and they'll manufacture reasons to deny a rebuttal op-ed.

Here's my response to their NO.
