The State of Florida's office of Economic and Demographic Research compiles information yearly for every county in the state--and once per year they publish a report which memorializes the salaries for elected constitutional officers statewide.
This report typically is published within the last two weeks of September.
This year, the report was completed and published this past Tuesday.
Folks should take the time to read it, as it is an interesting, enlightening read and it explains how the state sets the salaries and describes the formula(s) for how these salary levels are set. This chart, below
at the line highlighted indicates the salary levels for Escambia County's locally elected constitutional offices.
I really enjoy publishing this yearly to my blog so folks that hate county commissioners but LOVE every other constitutional officer can see how the wages are set for all of us. Many of these haters believe we set our own pay in some cigar-smoke filled back room somewhere. And of course, nothing could be further from the truth.
Like everything else in the country today--pay is increasing. It is significant.
I'm sure there is one N-Word using, racist cartoonist in Pensacola (Andy Marlette), along with about 12-13 foil hat wearers on one facebook chat site, (Escambia Hate Watch) and possibly one malcontent, 2nd rate radio entertainment host (Andrew Tallman) and maybe even the "editors" of our fake, biased, untrusted and failed daily newspaper (PNJ) that will be absolutely apoplectic over just our salaries--and not for any other elected officials. Just ours. They will be hair-on-fire mad, with bulging neck veins and bloodshot-eyes-- foaming around the mouth---about only the Escambia County Commissioners' salaries--------but not anyone else's on the long list. It's quite fascinating. LOL.
They all power-pound this blog daily, so they'll see this.
To them all, I wish you nothing but a relaxing, enjoyable and peaceful weekend. Maybe take a break from pounding on the keyboards in a lathered, frenzied way all weekend and get some sun instead?
😃👍
I know I'm going to have a "great" weekend!
