I must retract and correct myself on my earlier statement “what integrity remains”.

Integrity is something that is measured at %100 or ZERO, there is no grey area.
You either have it or you do not. VOTE!

I do not know what favor Mr Valentino may owe Mr Touart or what Mr Touart may know concerning Mr Valentino, but to throw what integrity remains out the window, even for a friend you are indebted to.

Unflappable,
Funny! It has possibilities!
“Escambia County … the Upside Your Head of Florida!” lol
Or In your face …

“What’s the deal on the people need to calm down and shut up, that the BCC and especially GV know what is best for us?”

Exactly! That is the comment that I got from others also!
We apparently don’t ‘know’ everything?? Can’t wait to hear the explanation …

Get all of the commisioners out. Touart already screwed this job up once.

Well, Well, Well……only surprise is Touart did not have WD there to support him.
Maybe this is what Pensacola mayor ashton howard means about “the Upside of Florida” which is about as dumb a slogan as it gets. Every time we think there may be logical, law abiding and honest persons in public office here comes the “Upside yo haid” slap from those who we should be able to trust.
Know how to tell when GV is not telling the truth? His lips are moving.

What’s the deal on the people need to calm down and shut up, that the BCC and especially GV know what is best for us?

Kevin do not feel rejected as I am sure at the end of the road, that the gates will open wide and you will be recieved with reaching arms.

From the sounds of that vote, you are sure to have company.

Joe,

NO!!! It is never right *to do wrong* to do right! That is how everyone justifies their lack of integrity!!!
I don’t care what higher plans they have for Touart.
Making deals to get what they want by using someone who lies and was bad for the county is the wrong way to get things done. (And it appears that some of their motivation may be the millions in BP money that they want to control, but even if it was just to right every wrong in the county administration, it still stinks!!!)

The problem with Oliver was probably that he couldn’t be controlled. They have to get rid of those type of people, apparently. There was nothing that explained the suddenness of his removal …at least not to the public. There is something there, too, and I wish the press would pursue that.

Escambia County has become a county that is run by crocked politicians who only look out for their crocked buddies and spend their time trying to find a way to give the people who live in the county as much grief as they can…we need to put them all out of office. Touart should not be allowed in that position just to get his retirement…he shouldn’t have been doing illegal things and could have kept his job and enjoyed the retirement money. We need to start a petition to have him removed from this so called “temporary” position.

We have to do more than just comment. People need to show up and tell the BCC what they think of this decision.

The BCC will meet 2 times before December 1st when Touart begins:

Committee of the Whole Thursday, November 8, 2012 – 9:00am

BCC Regular Meeting Thursday, November 15, 2012 – 5:30pm

They discuss and plan *a lot* of what they will say for the evening meeting at the morning Agenda Review meeting at 9 am, so that is an important meeting to attend also on Nov. 15th

Unreal.

There are a lot of short memories in this County.

Can anyone in this county really allow this travesty to continue?

Our District 5 representative is a disgrace., as usual. Pandering for a job that he doesn’t qualify for while voting against a qualified rival.

This County is a cesspool. At least the folks in the smart area of the County have elected representatives with integrity.

Up here we keep putting losers in. And will because they are “conservative.” Stupid damn password that people keep buying.
