The vote was technically a yes to offer him the job.
i.e. Mr. Brown might say no thanks.
This vote is to offer him the job and start contract negotiations.

atleast we don’t have to put up with mr.newson,someone that only give some people raises and not the people that does the labor.they still new to clean house with some of them. good luck and don’t become the good ole boys. maybe he will care about the people that really does the labor work instead of sitting behind the desk eating donuts. please consider the labors of the county so we don’t have to live on food stamps and forclosed houses like the low paying labor jobs.

Mr. Penska,
That is really classy of you and I wish you the best as you were also a favored candidate.

Congratulations, Mr. Brown!
Welcome to Escambia County! And thank you for your service. Hooah! It will serve you well here.

After 18-19 months of messing around with this decision, it is time for the BCC to move on to other important issues. Thank you to Commissioners Barry, May, and Robinson for listening to the citizens and sticking with the process!

The citizens are engaged and hopeful that Escambia County can move forward.

Wish you luck Mr Brown. As for Wilson he’ll soon be gone and that is a plus for the county–now if Gene would get mad and leave the BCC the county just might be able to move forward.

My advice to him….Rent a house month to month. Don’t buy one!
He may be a great man, but moving and uprooting a family to come to a job in Escambia County Politics and one that is only promised for a year….I’d rethink that.

Congrats to Mr. Brown. Hope he comes with a full suit of armor. He will need it.

Now if we could just “drop” Wilson the rest may be able to get something accomplished.
