Pensacola May Withdraw Consolidation Plan Support
January 8, 2010
The City of Pensacola might be next to pull support for the plan being drafted by the Escambia County Consolidation Study Commission.
Councilwoman Diane Mack intends to introduce a motion on Monday that Pensacola withdraw support for 2010 consolidation referendum and postpone any such vote until 2012 at the earliest.
The motion Mack intends to make states:
“That the council notify the delegation, by letter from the mayor, that it does not support the current proposal for consolidated government and that the council does not want the proposal to go to referendum in 2010. The letter should suggest that the issue of consolidation needs more detailed study by the study commission and the issue should not go to referendum any earlier than November 2012.”
Thursday night, the Escambia County Commission voted to withdraw its support for the plan for a 2010 vote and request that any consolidation vote be delayed until 2012 at the earliest. [Read more...]

The proposal being developed by the Escambia County Consolidation Study Commission would combine the governments of Pensacola, Escambia County and the Town of Century into a single, consolidated government.

I fully expect to read northescambia Sunday morning and find out that I won the lottery.
Keep the good news coming!
At least Pensacola citizens got some notice so they have time to voice their opinions. Those of us in the county had NO advance notice! We didn’t have a chance to let our commissioners know how we felt (don’t believe for a minute that it wasn’t intentional). I think Commissioner Robertson has a personal agenda, and I think that he was rude to Judge Bell.
