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 :

60th Coffee with the Commissioner Tomorrow Morning!

 


We will have our 60th Coffee with the Commissioner event this coming Wednesday, April 14th.

We will be having a discussion about water activities around the county, water safety and aquatic resources that we spend taxpayer money for that benefit the community and enhance our quality of life.  We will also discuss the county's soon-to-be constructed new boat launch facility that will be on Perdido Bay in District 1. This $3.5 Million facility, on 39 acres, will be an amazing asset for boaters county-wide---particularly those who live on Escambia's West Side.

Any input on that fire in Beulah the other morning where only one volunteer showed up in a staff vehicle, and not a single other volunteer responded?

Commissioner are you getting screen shots of these union FF s on facebook? Has the social media policy been amended for county employees to allow this or not?

Give a crap, BRC..Ingoc..we see you. Peek a boo.

Your appropriate time to negotiate is during news flash "arbitration"

Stop the drama. You all are not the only considerations in the budget.

Try watching budget hearings over the summer and see all the considerations that go into it.

Seems like if BEE REE Carro has so much time on his hands to be posting on ECW about potholes , as a paid public servant he should be spending more time in the investigation of the burned out SUV that was stolen and used by the four cold blooded murders on the loose in Escambia.

Perhaps look into a loyalty oath agreement with employees going forward -- being specific.

You may NOT want at large commissioners in Escambia for the OPPOSITE reason Escambia went to single member districts in the seventies.. think about it. voter fraud, felons voting, illegal immigrants, no voter ID? so called "churches" electioneering, driving people to the polls, riots, intimidation? Welfare breeders and so on. white apathy. No thanks.
