R.I.P. Forever consolidated government! Will they finally get the message that we do not want their consolidated gov.? How many years do they have to keep trying to push this thru? As said sometime before, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig!

Becoming part of L.A. (lower Alabama) sounds much more attractive to me!

I am surprised that the “downtowners” don’t have Acorn down here trying to get this on a ballot , then stuff the ballot box. It has been one hustle after another, Maritime parks, sewer plants. A clear case of 2 dissimilar groups of people, one wanting the other to subsidize their special interests. My poor old Daddy used to say “Someday there will be enough northerners here to have liquor in Santa Rosa County and charter government in Escambia”.One of those has come to pass – let’s not have the other, please.

Ding Dong The Witch is Dead!!! Let’s bury it! Drop it…….in a deep hole and put it behind us! God is Good! Remember Pensacola, WE IN THE NORTH END OF THIS COUNTY ARE CONTENT TO STAY EXACTLY AS WE ARE!! You have taken all the services and such down there already and closed all our local offices. So, keep it. And we will just visit you when we have to, for tags and licenses, and we will return to our SANE and enjoyable countryside to live out our lives. WE DON’T WANT TO BE PART OF Y’ALL!!!!!! Get it????

I wish the downtown crowd would stop bring this one county government up every year or so. Don’t they realize it has to be a plan that is “FAIR” for “ALL” the county not just the downtown good ole boys. As long as the downtown crowd keep trying to consolidate the county without first getting the north end of the county involved (on board), then a plan of any kind is not going to work. Maybe the north end should just draw a line at 9 mile road and become apart of “Lower Alabama” and forget about Pensacola completely.

Thank God.
Our wallets and pocketbooks are safe from this Soviet-style plan.

Well, you know, we could build a monument to the dead bill in the way of voting all these incumbents out; at every level-local, state, federal.

Fairly certain it would have died at the ballot box anyway!

Instead of having a commision spend the next two years working on a new consolidation plan, how about working a plan that would bring better paying jobs to our area.
