Chief Deputy Will Hold Century Town Hall Meeting Tonight
May 21, 2009
Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan will not be able to attend a town hall meeting in Century Thursday evening, but the event will go on with the county’s chief deputy.
Morgan had a scheduling conflict between the Century meeting and a previously scheduled speech to the Pensacola Military Officers Association, according to Sena Maddison, public affairs coordinator with the ESCO.
Morgan’s town hall meeting in Century had been scheduled for May 7, but he rescheduled that meeting due to an orientation scheduled for the same night at Ernest Ward Middle School. Maddison said that due to an error with the sheriff’s calendar, the Century meeting was inadvertently rescheduled for May 21, the same night as his Pensacola speech. The Pensacola commitment was made prior to the Century event date being planned, she said.
Morgan said he deeply regrets the scheduling error.
The event will still take place at 6:00 Thursday evening at the Southern Panhandle Restaurant in Century. Chief Deputy Bill Chavers will conduct the meeting in Morgan’s place, and he will relay citizen’s concerns back to the sheriff. Chavers will also be able to answer questions about the department and the department’s role in the Century area.

Sheriff Morgan has walked the neighborhoods of Century twice. He spoke at the joint Century – Flomaton Rotary meeting. He has met with residents during 2 lunches at the Panhandle Restaurant. The bike patrol has worked the Century area 4 times. Soon 3 additional deputies will be assigned to Century and 2 new deputies in Molino. The Walnut Hill precinct is opening shortly. The question should be, “What sheriff has ever done more in such a short period of time?”

I’m sure that Chief Deputy Chavers is more than qualified to answer questions about the department. BUT, no one but Sheriff Morgan can speak for Sheriff Morgan. I wonder when and how will the citizens of Century hear the sheriffs replies to their concerns.
Me thinks Morgan needs to fire Ms Maddison and find someone else who can do a better job of scheduling his appointments. It won’t take many of these snafus before his constituents get upset.
Why is David Morgan schmoozing with the Pensacola Military Officers Association? I understand he retired from the USAF, but come on. Putting the blame on scheduling? He needs to be up in Century, not at the PMOA. Let’s have some integrity please!!! Starting to regret voting for ya Sheriff!
