I still have to go back to the comment that the tag office has so few people coming in. DUH!!!! No drivers licence and closed the 2 busiest days of the week. Also, how economical is it to LEASE a building in Cantonment (fees so high, Winn Dixie moved out) as compared to a PAID for building in Century. I agree overall both Magaha has done a fair job, but Holley on the other hand…. Honestly, how many offices are really needed in Pensacola. On average how many people go to the newest office on “W” Street? Why not let the tax payers decide where and how many offices since we are the ones that pay for them.

ESCAMBIA COUNTY NORTH OF NINE MILE ONLY EXISTS DURING ELECTION TIME WHEN THEY WANT TO PUT THEIR SIGNS UP IN YOUR YARD. ACCESS TO COUNTY OFFICIALS IS VERY LIMITED.

When there are cuts to be made Century is always at the top of the chopping block! We need that courthouse on this end of the county. Magaha and Holley could care less if it puts a hardship on the citizens of our community. Guess the only thing they might not take from us is the prison and that’s because they don’t want the prison in their part of the county!! What else can they take away from our town?

I appreciate Commissioner White for standing-up for the northend on this! Everyone needs to call our Clerk of Court and Tax Collector’s offices the coming week and urge them to “keep Century open”! We are being denied access to close those two services!
Again, thanks for the support Comm White!

Magaha and Holley are simply doing what they have to do to live within their budget. We as taxpayers expect nothing less of them. Money is tight ,even on their level. It is a situation {use it or lose it] and the use simply wasn’t there. I personally think both do a wonderful job.

The biggest loss here is the access to the county court. Prior to this closure of the clerk of the court’s office, a county judge would come twice a month to Century to hear cases like driving on a suspended license or other minor law and traffic offenses. Limiting access to the courts is a major blow to the citizens in North Escambia and will only compound the problems for those without the abiltiy to go all the way the clerk’s waterfront office in Pensacola. Where’s the ACLU when you really need them?

I think that the decisions were made way before the recession hit. The county owns the building and the fees should be split by the 3 agents using the building. It would make sense to keep the building open. How much can it cost to have each department open at least for a part of the week?? I think that some of the fees are already shared by the different departments. It just shows you that we still don’t matter to the people in Pensacola even though they need us to have the consolidated government implemented. I don’t think that we will do any better if that passes because all they care about is locating everything in downtown Pensacola which is not good for the county as a whole. They should have to move the agencies further north (around 9mile or even further) so that everyone has to travel to handle business.
