A few years back, ECUA took over our garbage collection. Not only did the price go up, we went from two to one day of pick up! So, we are paying more for less. Not a big inducement to keep these people in office. M in Bratt has a good point. A few years back, ECUA took over our garbage collection.

According to this site;45.0% are Republicans,34.2% are Democrats,20.2% no affiliation ,0.6% minor parties, and to me that equals opportunity for a more diversity in these seats! I'm a native of Pensacola, and not only do I feel the city is more divided than ever, I noticed nobody in any of these offices are making a real effort to change that. I'd like to see change all across the board, especially our School Board. I'd like to see a New Mayor and Sheriff that would truly be open to hearing ideas from all classes and walks of life to unite the city as a whole. I think the majority of these seat holders believe what you see is what you get, and that isn't always the case. There are good people struggling, pay check to pay check, no government assistance; but still needs help , makes too much for AFDC; but still needs help with food. I've watched this city waste money, and now I think its time for this city to wake up. Our economy can thrive on low income and middle class dollars if those communities are invested into. Treat people how you want to be treated, its really that simple. Give respect and get it, with the votes! Candidates that reach out to our communities will be heard. We don't have to like each other personally to want the same things for our familys and our children, that fact in itself should unite us, and we need people in office with these same goals.

They have underbid and put private carriers out of business, and are providing twice a week pick up for $7.00 a month less than they charge Escambia County Residents. Sounds like they are trying to create some kind of monopoly at the expense of the ESCAMBIA county voters that elect them.
