Pensacola’s Wu Now League Of Cities President

August 9, 2013

Pensacola City Council President P.C. Wu has moved up to president of the Florida League of Cities after the organization’s former leader, Sweetwater Mayor Manuel Marono, was suspended from office this week because of federal corruption charges.

Ryan Banfill, a spokesman for the league, said its executive committee took action Wednesday to elevate Wu, who had served as first vice president. Banfill said Wu was already preparing to take the top job next week, as Marono’s term was set to expire.

“There was already a period of transition going on anyway,” Banfill said.

Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday issued executive orders suspending Marono and Miami Lakes Mayor Michael Pizzi after federal authorities charged them with conspiracy to commit extortion in a fraudulent grant scheme.

    Congratulations.
    Best wishes always.

    Keep it up and we’ll let you move to Bluff Springs — although, that WOULD disqualify you, so you might have to wait a while.
