Property taxes will need to go down another 25%... back to 2000 levels. Folks, Escambia County's recent tax runup was just phantom wealth. The county neither earned it or deserved it. In fact, now that Escambia County actually lost population, local government will need to shrink to pre 1995 levels. Folks, put a fork in this pig. Get used to it.

It is the clerks job to run the office efficiently.He can't do it then get someone who can.It is not fair for the employees to pay for someone elses mismanagement. Put some woman in office with children,housepaymments and a budget,bet she could teach everyone a thing or two.Chances are she could go into that office and find just one way to save thousands of dollars each month without cutbacks,layoffs or asking for free labor. When you have to depend on yourself to be thrifty you can find ways to cutback. Of course it is always easier to spend someone elses money.

But, with fewer sales one can expect to have less recording fees, less sales tax, and less work. Maybe we could run our county government a little like private business and justify jobs. Could we not lay off people and maybe consolidate offices. How about cutting the hours these offices are open. I am sorry, I do not want to sound cold or insensitive, but that is life. What about West Fraser, Solutia, I.P., housing contractors, and landscapers? Many people have woke up to no job, right here at Christmas, with debt and obligations, what about them. A day a month would be a blessing for them. With the economy the way it is, I can under stand the reduction in fees
