    the County Commissioners are only interested in Pensacola and how much money they can make. They have no interest in bringing in businesses other than tourism, or in helping the north end of the county. There is a big industrial park sitting empty on 29 in Cantonment. They need to hire someone who will work on getting businesses in there.
