Ok… Where are the Greg Evers supporters?

We are all still here, reading your banter and propaganda and still supporting Evers.
Let me think, where to start. Let’s try this one.

The Headline of the article seems to be quite misleading
-Consolidation Supporters: Evers, Paden “Under Control”; Murzin: More Interest In Legalized Pot -

When the actual quote from the email in the article reads –

“We need to get a FIRM commitment out of Clay Ford. “I think I have Evers and Peaden under control,” Remington wrote to Baker, Crawford and Mort O’Sullivan.

Thinking and having are two entirely different things; such as I think I won the lottery verses I have one the lottery. I understand that headlines are to catch eyes and be dramatic, but I don’t think they should not be misleading.

Some who post on here seem to only read the headlines and not the article.

If I had only read the Headline I would think that Murzin is more interested in legalizing Pot than the Consolidation situation.

Now Bob, if you knew Evers so good then you would know that no one controls him.
That goes back to the – I think – instead of I have.

It is amazing that all of the Delegation – Evers, Murzin, Ford, Peaden and Gaetz voted for the local bill to be filed and you only seem to be bashing Evers, Hmmm I wonder why.

I have advocated consolidation for years but the plan put forth by the commission is not one that I would support. If Jacksonville was the ‘model’ used then the commission apparently visited a different Jacksonville than the one I lived in for 4 years. Consolidation, if done correctly, will be a very good thing for all of Escambia County. Sadly, the commission wasted an opportunity here to make a real change that would have a lasting positive impact.

I would prefer that the commission’s plan die now versus letting it die at the ballot box. The intent of the voters in rejecting the plan could be just the thing to set back the consolidation movement for another 25 years.

It would really be nice for Greg to be present at a town hall meeting and look his constituents in the eye and let’s hear from his lips what his position really is going to be. He is going to make a decision and his supporters in the past and present deserve nothing less. He has made no statement that I know of to the public exactly where his loyalty lies. The e-mail address that i had for him comes back as undeliverable and since I don’t go to gun shows I do not have his cell number.

Some info for everyone. Try to find a copy of a song called “Word Of Mouth” by Mike and the Mechanics, an old group of the 80’s I think. The words of this song perfectly fits politicians, voters and election day. I had several copies at one time.

> did I see North Escambia’s name on the list of supporters printed on Progressive Pensacola’s website, or did I read it wrong?

You saw that very wrong. - William

And, by the way, Dereck Cossen who runs Progressive Pensacola is a very vocal opponent of consolidation. That should be very obvious from the stories he runs.

I have some questions. Who started this mess anyway? When was it started? Is Progressive Pensacola one of the brains behind this? And lastly, did I see North Escambia’s name on the list of supporters printed on Progressive Pensacola’s website, or did I read it wrong?

I think the purpose of Florida Sunshine laws were to prevent intentionally corrupt collusion between individuals of fiduicary responsibility. Over the years some folks have become very adept at “working the cracks & edges” of the law with out actually breaking it – only bending it to fit their desired outcome. We see this going on right now with the reconcillation of “Obamacare”, and in the BCC bid process.

That kind of stuff offends me! Like Century Girl there ought to be a law – whether it is FS 119 or what. Personnally I think any official who violates the SACRED DUTY of the public trust is guilty of TREASON and should be delt with accordingly and with due process. – A scarlet letter might be good.

It is the sense of betrail. I sure wouldn’t want my daughter to marry any of those with with such thin and veneered character.

I feel like someone just punched me in the gut. When I think of all the money I have put in Greg Evers campaign, and thought he was a friend of the people in North Escambia,It makes me sick. I have learned in the last few months he is nothing but a traitor and now to find his vote in controlled by someone else assured me he is a yes man. We can only hope that other counties in his district will find out who he really is,”a wolf in sheep clothing”. Once more No Greg Evers NO Consolidation.

I don’t believe that there is any other county in the entire state of Florida with a more corrupt group of politicians than Escambia. Every one of these schemers needs to be behind bars. Especially Bell! Just think of all the people he must have sent to prison for doing less harm than he is trying to bring upon us all.
