Did you notice the comment in the Boards response to his outrageous submission, that they had requested W-2forms "through a public records request" which has "yet to be satisfied" for his employees? Page 16. I thought this was public record, clear and simple. Where is Billy boi Eddins when you need him?? And I have been told, but not sure, that off duty work by Deputies is paid at 27 an hour, 2 dollars which he, the Sheriff collects back. Where is this fund, and what happens to the monies collected? Anyone know? Return to the County? This could be a large amount. Just saw the comment by James in regard to car use.

They continue to prove time and again they care nothing for the people in their district, especially in district 1. They raised the money for the ECSO so instead of redirecting it for their own pet projects, use it for what it was intended You can rest assured that if the citizens in Escambia County don’t want something, (for example, 4 cent gas tax to pay for ECAT that very few people use, landfills, rezoning of residential neighborhoods to appease developers, approving permits for operations that have been running illegally since Hurricane Ivan like the concrete recycling operation on Bellview, etc.) the self-serving Escambia County BOCC will approve it.

Poorest and dumbest and sickest in the state. He does not have a slush fund to hide the excessive waste like the BOCC. Let’s all remember how much cheaper and better the BOCC was going to run the jail! How did that work out for the taxpayer? $140 million later!

How top heavy is your Department? Well just ask the employees!! Do u really need a Public Information Officer making over $30.00 an hour? Really? A journalist? How about too many Chief's, Majors, Commanders, Sergeants and Lieutenants Lance Corporal's ! and not enough Indians. The BOCC gives you the money, just seems that its not making it to the sworn Deputies! ECSO with 2 Chief’s? How top heavy is your Department? Well just ask the employees!!

A friend on the board of Symphony thought their donations were out of Morgan's personal private monies and was shocked to find it was taxpayer monies. Follow the money. And WE pay for his videos and ads thru the LETF. When did the Sheriff’s duties shift from Law Enforcement to being a Big Deal contributing to “Charities” using Taxpayers monies?

IF HE WOULD LISTEN. WHICH IS DOUBTFUL. He only listens to himself. According to his own financial records, from 2014 to 2016. he had a reduction in fuel costs of almost 700thousand dollars. But his total budget went up. What did he do with the 700thousand? Where did he move it? His overtime costs increased from 130thousand in 2014 to 999thousand (1 million), in 2016. I think OT is payable at time and a half. His comp time from approximately 160thousand in 2014 to over 900thousand in 2016. Those are some mighty big increases, and as the Boards response notes, these costs are I n the personnel category, and he could have used them for salary increases, but he choose NOT TO DO SO.
