The folks who are out there to protect us (the citizens of Escambia County) put their life out for each of us. The deputies DESERVE a pay raise. There always seems to be some who bitch about the Sheriff, but I believe the one who does the bitching could do NO better than Sheriff Morgan. If they think they can, then go ahead and run for office. Show us how much better you can do! Hey! this is my opinion. I don’t understand the folks who are against the Sheriff.

The governor, while frugal, is solidly on the side of law enforcement and gave big raises to state officers the past couple years. Frankly I believe the county commission knew they were going to lose with the governor and so they agreed to a deal. Either way, deputies will hopefully start to get the pay they deserve. @ M in Bratt

Morgan's boy had already signed an agreement then Mr. Sparkle wants to back out of it because it doesn't give him all he wants. Morgan appeals to Gov Scott who puts it on the back-burner to barely simmer and he really feels this is a Local-Issue to be taken care here in the county. Let it ride, after all Morgan has said they have More Money than they know what to do with it. Deputy Retention isn't all about money, it's hurting because of poor leadership at the very top of the heap. @ M in Bratt

Let his appeal to Gov. Scott (who by the way is the most frugal gov. in recent history) run it's course, and let's see what he get's out of that.
