On a slightly different note,who paid for the billboard near Cantonment that has Chris Jones picture on it. His face is about 12 feet high. If it was paid for out of his pocket, that’s one thing, but if the county is picking up the tab, thats another.
We don’t need to be paying for campaign signs, which is in reality what that is.

william,
Well excuse me! But even so the Court House in Century is still functionable. Why waste money on re-designing a building to fit the County Tax Office needs when the old Tax Office is still there and was renovated just for that purpose. Also the CenturyCourt House is right on Hwy 29 not back of on old Palafox. I just think we waste so much money in this county it is time we put a stop to it.

>>>The Molino School property is owned by the Escambia Count School District NOT Escambia County, FL

No, it is not. The property was purchased by Escambia County from the school district. We’ve ran numerous stories about it.

Don’t you understand that the Molino School property will have to be leased also! The Molino School property is owned by the Escambia Count School District NOT Escambia County, FL. These are two different systems. Why is using one of the 3 buildings own by Escambia, FL in the the Town of Century so wrong? Is it because you don’t want to go to Century.

What she is talking about is the tax offices new building that is being
proposed on the same land as the molino school that was slotted
to be the library and THAT is the building that was to be re-designed,
and virtually re-built.
The tax officer is going to be a totally NEW STRUCTURE.

I doubt anyone will read this, but READ THE STORY.

Last post said;
“…As I understand it, we are actually building a NEW building…”

From the story:
“…contract with the company to design renovations to the old Molino School main building…”

As I understand it, we are actually building a NEW building for the county offices. Why are we doing this after renovating the Molino School and NOT using it for the original purpose. This is a total waste of OUR money. Do the commissioners really think they are not accountable for how they spend OUR money. We really need a library up here but our children and adults are not important enough to go through with the original plan. A good motto for the county “THINK AHEAD”.

The government wasted our S>S> money.
Now look at them squander all this money on a library promised that
can’t be delievered as promised.
I hate big spenders with other peoples money and crying poor and
cutting the money of the working class. Especially our boys in blue
who risk their lifes (the good ones) The teachers (the good ones)
and the C.O. officers who have to put up with being spit on and
tussel with every dirt bag the courts throw at them.

COME ON DID our illustrious commissioner take a pay cut if not
he can TAKE A HIKE.

“taxpayer” and others…

… Don’t you understand that the current location is LEASED. The proposed location is OWNED. Moving means that once the improvement is complete they no longer have to pay the LEASE.

… moving it to Century is not even being discussed here… makes no sense from a utilization standpoint.

If they won’t listen at the office, try picketing their homes.
If you upset their families watch how much they pay attention.
Keep it peaceful with a lot of respect for children. Never after 8:30 when
all good kids need to be in bed for a good nights sleep before school.
