Barry Makes District 5 Committee Appointments

November 25, 2012

When new commissioners took office last week, they nominated individuals to fill seats on various committees.

Escambia County District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry made the following recommendations which were approved by the entire commission:

  • Animal Services Advisory Committee — Cara T. Overhalser
  • Board of Adjustment — Jennifer J. Rigby
  • Escambia County Mass Transit Advisory Committee — Jeffery S. Overhalser, Earl L. Jones, Sr.
  • Escambia Marine Advisory Committee — M. Gabe Jackson, III, Hudson W. Woodfin, Jr.
  • Planning Board — Wayne Briske
  • Santa Rosa Island Authority — Janice Gilley

The terms of each individual run concurrent with Barry’s term of office ending in 2016 or at his discretion.

    Give him a chance…how can he be any worse than the others we elected? I agree though, if they (the Over halsers) are related, one of them should step down, don’t care if they are in different departments.

    Yes, Oversight, give it a rest. We don’t need anybody shining light into the darkness. You might find something that you wished you hadn’t.

    Meet the new boss…same as the old boss.

    “Animal Services Advisory Committee — Cara T. Overhalser
    Board of Adjustment — Jennifer J. Rigby
    Escambia County Mass Transit Advisory Committee — Jeffery S. Overhalser…”

    Is it coincidence in last names or blatant nepotism with the Overhalser appointments, Mr. Barry? By the way, what are the bio’s of those appointed and what makes them the best people to represent district five other than campaign contributions?
