Kevin White Offers Simple Goodbye At Commission Meeting

November 16, 2012

Outgoing District 5 Commissioner Kevin White offered a simple goodbye when prompted Thursday during an Escambia County Commission meeting.

White said:

“I’ve enjoyed serving; I’m glad I had the privilege to serve and thank the citizens for allowing me to…It’s like buying a boat….as happy as you are the day you get it, you are just as happy the day you get rid of it. And this is the same way.”

    I think Kevin did a good job. I might not had always agreed with him but all in all he did good.

    So the new guy gets to see what he can do, and everyone can complain again. The old county commissioners need to move on and we need new ones with better ideas.

    He has a hard job. With the economy not doing well, he did not need to SPEND!!
    We need to save. Too many people want a free hand out. The money has to come somewhere, and it is YOUR taxes dollars. Right now, we DO NOT NEED TO SPEND to oblivious. Save, Save, Save. We need to cut back!

    You’ve got to be kidding me! Commissioner White did alot and served District 5 well. GOOD JOB KEVIN! I’m just sorry he didn’t go for another term. Nay sayers such as yourselves are most likely the reason. It is a thankless job and you should try it yourself if think you can do better.

    Boats not with standing (I’ve had one or two) it’s good to see you going onto what ever. After our last conversation you showed you needed to move on.
