Your grandkids will love you for that, as they are paying back their hard earned paycheck in federal taxes to repay the obama government for what is now the most money any president has ever spent while in office. And we have 3 and a half more years of this. Thanks for the informed vote.

I can’t wait to read the comments as to whether William actually gets the position or not! Now my response to wait a minute on your backwoods Obama comment. During the election, I talked to a lot people about voting and the ones who voted for Obama were very well informed. WE all did a lot of looking into this man that we knew nothing about, and several million of us decided he was our man . On the other side, what I saw was folks willing to blindly continue on with more of the same old thing we had for the previous eight years. Praise God for backwoods voters! Please in 2012 do the same! Sorry William I digress ,good luck!!

There was a good idea going here about waiting till you hear the proposal before making a decision, that is until they had to add,”the backwoods obama voters”.

Folks, never forget that the most important thing charter government does(consolidation is still CHARTER government) is grant that government broader taxing authority. It’s a Florida Supreme Court ruling (Volusia vs. Dickinson).
The main reason for this “consolidation” is simply to add franchise fees to your utility bills. Why? Well that’s for downtown economic redevelopment.
Now ain’t that a hoot!

Maybe Commissioner White just wants to keep William busy…how I see it William could easily beat him in the next election, if he chooses to run…I guess William could return the favor and appont Mr. White to a committee then…lol

I would never vote on something this big based on intuition . Once the plan is published, you will simply have to read. But, thats just me. To each his/her own.

Intuition comes from having experienced a similar incident in the past. Tell me…are you from Jacksonville ?

To Wait A Minute: There is such a thing as intuition……..if it’s within a morally minded person……

This could be a plot by the city folks to hush a great thing we have
up here!!!! By this I mean,NEC has really been an eye-opener to a lot of voters!!!
“They” may feel NEC is getting too close to the people up here learning the truth and being able to see things for what they really are!!! “They” may think they can get our William and”set him straight”…..LORD forbid…….it ain’t gonna’ happen…..If you do decide to do this…..just remember,everybody’s aim for you is not based on you,being a great asset to the community!!!! We love you and what you do for us…..intentions are not always what they appear…..but I know you will make the right choice……and do the best you can!!!!

You know, I don’t know if I am for consolidation or not. I will have to hear the proposal that the study commission comes up with. Maybe whoever sits on the commission will be able to get some of the things that the Northend of the county needs put on the proposal.
I don’t know what all the WHINE is about. Century is rundown, almost to the point of being a ghost town. Maybe the consolidation might help. What about Century are we so proud of? Are we proud of all the jobs that are here? What great stores we have? What a beautiful area it is?
What is it about the town of Century, that we are so proud of that we won’t accept any kind of change? I for one would welcome more jobs, so that I didn’t have to drive to Pensacola everyday for a decent paying job.
