I would expect a high turnover in such a thankless position, regardless of location.

Look at all the shenanigans, skullduggery, mystery and controversy surrounding the corrections program. Would you go through all those headaches for the offered salary…

I think that we should think of Mr Tidwell as a man for all seasons.

Tammie Booker was the best choice. Out of town doesn’t always mean the candidate is better.

@Sam– I saw his work history also and have to question why he “left” so many jobs. I guess it’s like a lot of the people who are hired here in Escambia county. Sad there are no good people in this area that could do this job. How long do you think he’ll last?

From what I found he tends to resign, I mean retire, on September 30 a lot.( Amid Questions)
Funny that everyone thinks being from out of town makes you better.

When departments from out of town didn’t seem too sure of him.

Interesting that a director would be so transitory. Typically, the individual attaining such a position holds it until retirement.

Someone has to fill this position and Mr Tidwell is as good a fit as any.

He is welcome to it in my opinion and good luck.

Read this fellows work history and why he left the last jobs he had and one has to ask–what was the county comm. thinking. We tend to hire some strange people who have poor work history. Oh well.
