Thank you for working to restore the Public Faith in our Escambia Board of County Commissioners, It is bothersome to be watching your meetings and have Commissioners with their faces buried in laptops or phones while in session. That is so annoying and an affront to we who the Comissioners are to represent. We really like having you on the Board, Thank you. Commissioner Kohler, this is Totally Supported by me and the family and friends.

But it’s a reality. Our commissioners have lost public trust and transparency . No more side bets and backroom deals. It’s sad that it’s come to this in local politics. But it’s a reality.

Why not allow them to have dedicated social media or web sites that ARE backed up on county servers? Communication is key to establishing public trust. Why not require them to use county phones for county business that ARE backed up by the county servers? The no communicating digitally during meetings is an EXCELLENT move! Be present in the meeting and pay attention! Plenty of time for ex parte communication later. No using personal email: great! How about no using personal phones: better! I give Mr. Kohler props for bringing this up for discussion. I'm WAITING for Ms. Hofberger to bring up HELPING EMS and incorrect info about bonuses and ambulance purchases didn't count!!! Some good stuff and some questionable stuff, I think.

It will help keep honest people honest. Seems reasonable to me, this should cut down on the perceived sunshine law violations. It will help keep honest people honest.
