Bigger government = more concrete, more asphalt, more buildings, more government control.
Do I want this? No, no, no, no! I have wanted to live in the country all my life, and finally reached that goal about 12 years ago.
It is all about power and money. I too wish they would leave us alone. Not everyone likes being over-taxed and jammed up together. Some folks love New York City! I would hate to live there. It is claustrophobic. I do not understand loving NYC.

Some people will never get the message. What would expect when Escambia County doesn’t even have a representive in Tallahassee?

If I wanted anything to do with Pensacola I would move there. I don’t go there unless I have to, why don’t they leave us alone. They can’t run Pensacola must less the whole county

The downtown crowd will never stop trying to expand their tax base. If the folks in the city want consolidated government all they have to do is abolish their city charter. That also applies to Century.

All the no votes don’t even include the last time Escambia attempted a charter government, which was not that long ago. When will these “more and bigger” government fanatics get it? NO! We do not want a greater Pensacola government!

What we need to do is put a ban on any more attepts for consolidation for 20 years. Make it so that if it is to be brought up again it would have to have signed pentions by half of the county. Pensacola needs to learn how to support its self.
