We need to get valentino out as a CC and send this reject back to california. He is a idiot that thinks “nose” everything.

If Hayward can opt. Out, then I want out too! This four cent tax should have been voted on by the people, not by the five idiots setting in them leather chairs.

Just my thoughts

The very people whom are going to reap the benefits are the ones that live in Pensacola city limits. It is amazing. Repeal it off the backs of the county tax payers and help the working public out.

Commissioner Wilson Robertson has enough time as a county employee to draw his retirement. I think I heard he would be retiring after this term. He will then draw his retirement from where? County funds maybe? Someone can correct me because I really don’t know where the retirement funds come from, but he needs to go. Commissioner Gene Valentino needs to go, he moved to the Pensacola area because he liked the way things were/are!!, but he like some have tried to make it just like the place he moved from (that he did not like)!! In my opinion, if you like the life style here please, please don’t change it, just assimilate into the area and enjoy the culture.

I think the people rides the bus should pay little more than raise GAS PRICES so it wont hurt other people.

Glad to see someone in government has their head screwed on right. Way to go Mayor Hayward, stand your ground and bring those jobs to Pensacola. This gas tax was handled wrong from the begining and it appears that some people are finally realizing it.

Totally against this. I went to the meetings, didn’t do any good, they made their decision and that was that. Kudos to Century and to the city for refusing to submit. Do a little research people… Chicago (CTA) fares $2.25/ride population 9.8 million. Chicago uses,supports and Promotes their transit. New York City(MTA)fares $2.50/ride population 8.2,million, New York uses,supports and Promotes their transit system. Escambia county population 3K (ECAT)fares $1.75/ride, DOES NOT!! Support or Promotes and is ashamed of their system. Why should I support a system that isn’t self supporting or wanted? Raise the fare if it is so important to the county, but also PROMOTE it.

This is funny. I dont favor this tax; but just wait for the bill from obama care. If you dont have health insurance get ready for the penalty. Uncle sam wants your money one way or the other.
