Is it official that the vote will not take place until 2012? Last I saw on that was a decision would be made on January 25th to determine when it is voted on.

Mr. Peacock – Pensacola swings a large block of votes; a block thar has already approved a “Strong (controlling) Mayor” Charter and WE HAVE ELECTED a slate of Commissioners that DONT know how to follow the (bid) laws, ask an attorney, or a minister for that matter. You snooze you lose. This is too important to take deep breaths and wait till it passes – Thank You.

Yes SW. These BOZOS think they can RE-WRIGHT our form of government in such a way as to expand their control-opportunities rather than follow the laws and rules of a system that has worked well for nearly three centuries.

However; BENNY is right, it is Walnut Hill, Bratt, Byrneville, Molino, Davisville and all if the small communities that MUST come together to organize and resist this THREAT. We didn’t move to the country to live under a corrupt metropolitian-based DICTATORSHIP.

We all have family, friends & relatives in Century, Cantonment, Perdido Key, and Pensacola we can lobby and influence to work against this vote now scheduled for 2012.

The country people of the North-End are being taken advantage of – one day we will learn to elect people of high moral CHACTER and ETHICAL STANDARDS. And we need a better test of character than we have had in the past.

THIS IS A WAKE-UP CALL!!!

John Peacock, are you a city employee or do you draw a pension from the city?

Benny, take a deep breath! Your thoughts on how the vote will take place are not accurate. A majority of voters in the county and a majority in the city of Pensacola have to vote yes. If that occurs then it is done. If everyone in the city voted yes and a majority of county voters vote no, then everything will remain the same as it is today.

Why doesn’t Century, Walnut Hill, Molino make their own counter proposal to the Florida legislature and remove yourself from Pensacola? You have to stop waiting to see what is happening with Pcola and the county. If the largest segment of the population is the county then take control. Propose new legislature. It will not be quick or easy and you may need a lawyer or Mr Evers or Murzin to help you word the proposal.

Please understand!!!!!!! Just voting no in Nov. will not get it!!!! Pensacola votes are a majority of the votes all they have to do is get majority of votes in Pensacola city limits which is who will benefit and ESCAMBIA COUNTY AND NORTH END BECOMING A PART OF PENSACOLA CITY LIMITS IS A DONE DEAL!!!!!!! I myself don’t intend to pay pensions plans for the wealthy and corrupt. I paid almost $3000.00 for a septic tank 11 years ago that works just fine that in no way harms anyone else. Might I add the Department of Environment Agency stated the northend had much better water quality after testing than pensacola. Septic tanks being a hazard to our health is just a cover up/excuse. I will not go on a public sewer system just because someone wantes money to pay for their screw up in managing the city of Pensacola. Read the consolidation plan they will make their rules up as they want and as they go.. Here’s what you can probably expect city tax. additional property tax ( what do you think the rezoning is about?) They already have control of garbage! ECUA. Just wait til vote goes thru they will control garbage, water, gas, electricity Etc. If you will study it like I have you will figure out county commissions, ecua, and gulf power all spend a lot of time together!!!!! You figure it out before its too late! Either you start working on this now or just let it happen!!!!!!!!

Neighbors: Just look what happened with our land in the North end. We cannot sell our land unless it is within the acreage of the document sujbmitted. This group of people who did this with our land were made up of people who never had any land in the county except maybe a house on a small plot of land. We all went to meeting to protest or some of us did but it was passed by our GREAT county government. If we have land now that we want to sell or give to our children and it is listed in thewrong category, we ARE MANDATED ON HOW MUCH WE DEED THEM. I’m sick of this dictatorship. We try to get a voice from our end of the county elected to an office and we cannot because the people that know nothing about or end of the world have to vote on these people and they all think we are all uneducated, just “country hicks” and not qualified to be on the commission. So we fail to have a spokesman from our world. Let’s don’t give the city of Pensacola a voice in our world up here. The county does not care about us now. That was evident in closing our county facility, the Billy Ward Judicial center recently. With proper planning this could have been kept open by scheduling workers to be there just certain days of week for certain hours.
My husband and I have not received a flu shot in two years because we have no one from the COUNTY HEALTH DEPT. come up to aid this end of world. They built a small Health facility, never staffed it, then all of a sudden it was locked up and supposedly the county law enforcement uses it. I’ve never seen anyone there. All that money was spent on this building and not being used. This is our County government so throw the city in there helping to run things and before long our children will be bussed to Pensacola for school. The county is suipposed to have a transit system but do you see it coming thru Walnut Hill,Davisville, Oak Grove, or Bratt? Our tax dollars are paying for it to run every day someplace but only the good Lord knows where. As for me and my house we are DEFINITELY VOTING ‘NO” ON ANY CONSOLIDATION. Our communities up here need organizing and getting some federal dollars with grants,and other help.
