    Looks like none of these candidates can hold down a job, some even admit they left previous positions because they couldn’t do the job the way their elected bosses wanted them to do. I can see considering a successful manager from a smaller jurisdiction that is upwardly mobile in his chosen career field, but why hire some jerk that has failed in multiple bigger ponds?

    Mr Touart, what ever it is that you are holding over the commission please just let it go. Focus on your business interest in Mississippi and leave us be.

    I would be all for granting Mr Touart a pension just to be shed of him. He would not be drawing it forever, not for too long anyway.

    Anyone ANyONE other then “king George”. Please commissioners, if you ever have any hope of moving away from the terrible reputation this county has PLEASE remove George Tourat from this list.

    The names from the past that haunt us, our shame… Why must they keep trying to get back in? Have these folks no shame?

    I cannot help but wonder why Escambia County cannot produce an individual with the qualities prerequisite for the Administrator position?
