Even though I am a resident of Alabama I have interest in Escambia County Florida, that are in Commissioner Barry’s district. How did they draw him in and corrupt him so very quickly? You people could have elected another candidate but then hindsight is 20/20.

Someone help me understand?
I think George Touart is a crook with our crooked commissioners.
George Touart fired by county commissioners.
George Touart gets retirement package approved by commissioners.
George Touart is hired for temporary position he was fired from.
Now George Touart is in the final top 10 for the position he’s already in and approved by 4 to 1 by commissioners.
Someone make me understand what’s wrong with our county. Apparently there’s no shame in being a commissioners in this county.

Poplardell,
We reap what we sow. Without charter type government, we the citizens have no tools to remove those elected that “go bad”.
Nor do we have the power to approve tax increases via a vote of the citizens.
Property taxes, school taxes, sales taxes are thus all decided by the BOCC and school board. We citizens do not have to be convinced the tax increase is needed, just pay them.
Because we the citizens/voters are so stupid.

Here is my prediction:
Wilson Robertson and Gene Valentino will vote for George because they get what they want from him. The rest of the Commissioners will vote against him.

I am disappointed that Commissioner Barry fell in line behind the others. I had expectations for improvement.

I am of the opinion that in the long run he may find that playing following the leader is not always as promising as perceived at the beginning. I learned that lesson at a very early age.

Commissioner May I had misread Williams report and now see that Mr Marshall alone cast the dissenting vote. I stand corrected and enlightened, though not illuminated.

@Jeeperman,
You can move to a place that does have charter government.
The people here have voted.
NO!!!

If the citizens in Escambia County really knew how the Commissioner’s and their “aids” really ran the county. They would all have strokes. It’s way worse than the public knows. Good old boy doesn’t even scratch the surface.
