I came back into town and was shocked to read Amy resigned. I worked with her for several years at the County, and found her to be knowledgable, hard working, and one who truly cares about services to citizens. Her leaving indicates she’s tired of dealing with clowns. A great loss to the County. I hope her next employer provide her the recognition and appreciation she deserves.

Don’t go out like this Amy.
At least Fire some of these deadbeats causing the problems 1st.
Someone has to quit cowering from them.

2 things: Quitters never win.
And at this point, given how many have quit, I’m very suspicious of the ones left. Seems that we may be left with the same good ole boys………

I think they are cowards for letting D2 Grandstand from this budget push. They think people don’t connect the dots. Even at public forum I think you will see that you guys main rep may be seeing a more subtle timely approach may be better. Some gave a monster some bait and he took it but yeah the other sweetheart s were hoping maybe no one noticed that they play politics for votes but are actually losing because we hate spinless politicians.

K. Jones, I would be happy to respond to your statements concerning my political involvement in your above comments, except that I don’t discuss politics with anyone who doesn’t have the courage to reveal his or her identity when offering an opinion “publicly.”

So I’ll limit my response to stating that there was nothing of a political nature in the comment I left here on Ms. Lovoy’s resignation, unless it’s politics to speak regret about the loss of a decent, capable, and long-time public servant. I have, however, commented on the politics and context of her resignation through other venues, including during public forum at the BOCC meeting this morning.

Sounds like the new Administrator is in for a fun ride. Pleasing the egos of some (one) on the commission will be a challenge. It’s a shame. The position should be attractive for any qualified candidate, but this environment reminds me why Pensacola has always struggled to make progress.

Amy Lovoy, you will be GREATLY missed by the citizens of Escambia County.

I am seeing a common thread unraveling here. Four top level administrators have decided that their integrity, honesty, work ethic, strengths and personal dedication to the People has been basically sabotaged by some persons on the BoCC who are impossible to please and to work with. This is the tipping of an iceberg and hopefully some from the state level will investigate the shenanigans that go on.
Unresolved landfill issues causing harm to citizens, unsafe conditions by ignoring the legitimate needs of Public Safety EMS, Fire, etc.
BoCC persons who have obvious special interests in their district and in kowtowing to their more influential individuals and groups. Ignoring the needs for roadway improvements, etc.
The list of “Issues” is near endless.
Seeing these top 4 persons decide to leave tells us that there is more going on that has yet to be brought to the light of day.
BoCC you have collectively begun to lose the confidence of we who voted to put you into office to represent US.
Top level persons can leave because they usually find equal employment elsewhere.
Hands-on workers from the beginning to top mid-level employees cannot leave because of vested time, if they leave they risk losing retirements. So they stay and work hard and keep pushing the ball ahead hoping for a better county for all.
Two of our “Representatives” need to drop their high school sniping at each other on facebook and other media and GROW UP and do the job for which you were elected. You and WE know who you are.
Lord Help WE the Citizens of Escambia County.

@ Uh Buh, Elmer, Miz Gilly brings the quality of integrity to our table.

She may not have a doctorates of business administration, communications, economics and political science from Yale, but she does an excellent job.
