Firefighters Union Calls For Escambia Public Safety Director To Be Removed
April 9, 2019
FOR AN UPDATE TO THIS STORY, CLICK HERE>
The Escambia County Professional Firefighters Union has notified the Escambia County Commission that the union had a vote of no confidence in Public Safety Director Mike Weaver.
“Director Weaver has continuously demonstrated his inability to effectively lead the divisions of Public Safety, and has repeatedly failed to advocate for the true needs of Escambia County Fire Rescue,” the letter from Nick Gradia, union president, states.
“Director Weaver, despite the documented information and recommendations of staff, lacks the vision and fortitude to appropriately advocate for necessary service levels. Director Weaver’s obstructionist mentality and lack of long-term strategic planning constrains the ability of the men and women of Public Safety to provide safe and efficient emergency services to the citizens of Escambia County,” it also states.
The letter calls for the “decisive action” of the county commission to immediately remove Weaver from his position.
Weaver declined to comment for this story.
