They need us to fund their transit , They need us to help fund the maritime park. which is in a fema declared flood zone on the water front of a hurricanne prone city. The PNJ states, if youcan believe them ,that ever one is moveing out of the city. They need a new tax base. Well Sorry you feel that way Chuck.

The police department boasts a lower crime rate than the county and over all they provide far better services than the county or the Town of Century. Oh, but let's not forget that they are broke and need the good people of Century and Escambia county to bail them out.

I think that would be more efficient however, there is no shroud of secrecy, there is no membership list. There are 50 or so folks from all walks of life that have met periodically at highly publicized meetings to discuss these issues and concerns in a public forum. It is disapointing although understandable that you don't by the "concerned citizen" as a legitimate reason for involvement. I do believe that until proven otherwise many people have pure motives to make things better in our community. I always start with that premise. The All for One group wants more involvement from anyone and everyone that wants to help and be involved. Those of us that are currently involved don't agree on all aspects, however as a group (wisdom of the crowds), we will build a better system. Ultimately the community will decide however Mr. Hudson, would love to meet with you and others to discuss.

Please inform me and others reading this the following information: Who are the members of Escambia All for One that are driving this consolidated government initiative? (They are NOT listed on their website!) How will diluted government representation benefit the majority of the residents of our county? In other words, how has more government ever been the more economical & effecient solution for financial growth? My concern is for a transparent government that voices the people it represents and doesn't allow a "quiet revolution" by the "civic elites" as stated in the materials referred to in the minutes dated December 14, 2007 and signed by Scott A. Remington regarding consolidated government issues documenting the trip to Jacksonville, FL that you made. My intent is not "stoking fear" as you say but, to pierce the veil of secrecy and ambiguity that surrounds this "elite" group and their actions. These are some of the reasons why I question the motives of Escambia All For One. Thank you, Mr. Peacock for pointing out that facts need to be made known.

Stoking fears instead of investigation facts, being part of the solution instead of part of the problem, is exactly why Escambia County is in the situation it is in. Please take the time to get involved and find out the facts. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Mr. Hudson, all I can say is that is not how it works.

If we become city residents we will be tax the same ,and never get the services that we are paying for. Who wants to help pay for a maritime park.? Pensacola is broke and needs a cash cow.
