Not to have the last word, but work is work and the residual benefits float all boats including your salary. Just stop drinking the water or comparing folk’s ideas with Pelosi.

@ Retired LEO
ABSOLUTELY Agree with you on Mr. Underhills request for a basically Go-Fund ME account for his Personal legal fees.
PLUS the lawsuit against Mr. Underhill is for actions BEFORE he was elected to the Board.
How dare he even suggest such personal consideration.
For him to say “fairness and logic” is laughable.

I thought the per job financial incentive was $3000 – Commissioner Underhill, can’t tell if you’re being intentionally misleading (as this is clearly something you oppose) or if you’re simply ill informed – genuinely inquiring.

I hope that ALL you negative People will get behind a GOOD MOVE to create JOBS !!!
Commissioner Barry is Good Man, an if You will GET Behind Him with a little
SUPPORT , You just might find that a Positive Attitude will make You a Better
Person !!!
We elect each Commissioner to Represent our District, so Let them make a
Combined Decision. I believe they have more Knowledge about what’s going
than we do.
Thanks.

I never in my lifetime thought I would see a Board of County Commissioners conducting business this way with all the secrets and riddles. Why can’t you say who it is and what they make? Only one reason. No sir, this smells very fishy. Is Underhill the only adult in the group?

Doug Underhill, you sure didn’t mind asking the taxpayers to foot the bill for your legal problems did you? Hopefully we will see a new commissioner in Perdido next election.

@Sage2, what is in the water is fairness and logic. It is not fair to tell everyone else you gotta pay 100% of your taxes but these people only pay 30% of theirs. It is not fair to give them $5k per job when other Escambia businesses get none. And as for logic, it is illogical to say yes to something I am not allowed to read. Unless you like the Nancy Pelosi “pass it so we can see what is in it” method. Until I am provided a staffing plan to prove me wrong, we are spending your tax dollars to bring a bunch of near-minimum wage jobs to your neighborhood.

Why does Escambia County have to do everything like it is some sort of covert spy mission? Why can’t they just say, “Hey so and so wants to build whatever here and we think it is great!”?

Is there something in the water in District 2 that causes the commissioners representing that area to behave and vote as they do? Just asking….
