    You Valentino haters should chill out, we like the fact that our commissioner gets things done down here in Dist 2. He will be returned to the Dist 2 seat with little problem. Most of you don’t have a clue, like Tom about the airshow vacation, which is bringing thousands of jobs to the area or Big John who thinks he will be paying city taxes out in the county, get a grip.
    Now Louise or should I say, Dr. Louise, you must be if you are able to diagnose the stability of a person from your arm chair. How well do you know Gene, have ever met him, I doubt seriously.
    We will be very happy when Gene gets a chance to finish all of the projects that he has going on in his District and the rest of Escambia Co.

    It would be an interesting thing to see a Valentino supporter.

    I would pay a dollar to see one of those.

    OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!! He is probably one of the most unstable people I have ever seen. It seems he lives in his own little world and to heck with anyone else. He does not have Escambia County’s well being at heart.

    BIG JOHN

    remember sometime back when MR. valentine and his friends wanted to consolidate Escambia county and put us with Pensacola, so we would pay more taxes .you would be paying city and county tax if that was to happened.
    NO THINKS, NO THINKS MR. VALENTINE!!!!!! I LIKE THE COUNTY AND THAT IS WHY I LIVE IN THE COUNTY NOT PENSACOLA!!!!!!

    What ever happened to the allegations of jail officers bringing laptops inside the jail? If you’re going to make an accusation you better have some sufficient evidence to back it up or else you’ll just look like another Obama voter.

    Need to vote this tool out.

    He needs to be voted out!!!

    Don’t forget…..Valentino voted FOR the ECAT gas tax hike !!!!

    Not my district but I say both Gene & George should hop on Southwest and fly away anywhere just so they are gone.

    Its a shame that this man does not run back to California, or maybe they don’t won’t him either.

    He may be running in district 2# but that will effect the whole county that is why we need at LARGE election.

    I guess the people in Gene’s area like to be fooled. Maybe it’s time for Gene and George to just go flying into the sunset. Gene use to be (or he acted) like a much nicer person. I keep hearing he would like to go to Tallahassee— sure would be a good move for Escambia County. Maybe he could take some of his “big money” supporter with him. Looks as if Benson is going to run in his district–wish her luck.

    The other poster is dead on target. If those people out there vote this man back in, they will get exactly what they deserve.

  13. Ibelieve on November 5th, 2013 7:41 am

    If district 2 votes him back in they deserve what they get. I think this guy has a different agenda than anybody else. I do know he has pushed and pushed to keep his buddy George in office until Mr. Barry and Mr. May held their ground and did what is right for the county. How can Gene possibly think Touart needs to keep that office? I guess he needs a job because no one else will hire him.
