Thank you William for keeping us informed. I do see a glimmer of hope in our local goverment. There are better ways to get money into the local goverment than this method at this time. Tag fees going up this year is enough for 1 year don’t you think. Lets catch our breath after that one, before we get hit with another.

I would like to thank the commisioners for making the right decision and not passing the proposal. It would not only strained the families but also put a strain on Recreational atheletic programs across the county. This was a good decision for all…….

Hopefully this miserable way to get more money will fail with all commisioners voting against it. In the event some vote FOR the tax I hope voters in their district remember to vote AGAINST them at election time.

The thanks, Ronnie, goes to the readers of NorthEscambia.com that took the time yesterday to email and call all of the commissioners. They noticed the blog, and they noticed the large number of people speaking out against the plan.

Thank you William for running the blog on this crazy tax. I hope everyone understands that their voices can be heard and decisions made with all goverment issues if they will only speak out for what is right. Elected officials that want to be re-elected will listen when they hear the voice of the people they were elected to serve. Thanks again for all of your help for all the kids that would not have gotten to pay baseball and other sports because of this tax.
