    Why can’t we consolidate like Jacksonville did?

    JC- you are in error there. Commissioner Robinson was not the initiator of that movement. He tried to keep at least some form of the flag flying but was outvoted.

    I thought Underhill wanted to get rid of the Confederate flag.

    I am glad that Haywood’s term is coming to an end. So far Grover Robinson is the most qualified.

    Maybe we would all feel better if the sheriff would throw his name in for Mayor. ( Not )
    And by the way when they continuously pull up to the public feeding trough it’s because people voted for them to do so.

    Remember he is the one that started the movement to git rid of the confederate flag and he got rid of it. I wish he would move to Al.

    After a County gas tax to support a FAILED Transit System, and giving my Rooster and Farm Animals heart attacks, I do recommend this man for the job of City Mayor.

    At least he might resurrect Pensacola City of Five Flags and support keeping the Confederate Monuments. Hopefully they will get rid of that stupid Upside Brand that sounds like the Up yours. He is quite the politician getting the beach traffic circles and the fee simple in under the radar with out much discussion (with Underhills help)

    He will probably make an effort to get along with the city council better but not sure how he will fare with all the idiot liberals and their asinine lawsuits wanting panhandlers and drunks up in peoples faces at fine dining establishment and people wanting to bring dogs to public places and all that agenda

    The more I learn about the goings on south of nine mile and the traffic and development, I’ll take the backward county, the traffic detours, the lack of code enforcement anyday.

    I have had dealings with Grover, and he’s a good person. I don’t live in the city, but I’d gladly vote for him over Mr. PC-throw-away-your-rich-past-in-the-name-of-political-expediency Hayward any day of the week.

    another disaster in the making. That hayward? guy was a total joke and still is.
    Get some new “common sense” people in there.

    Has anyone taken note that once a person gets elected to public office, there is a continuation of seemingly always feeding at the public’s trough. Will the circle be unbroken?

  12. NEED SOMEONE NEW! Not SSDD! on October 17th, 2017 11:30 am

    REALLLLY????? I guess he might be better that Hayward but I think we need fresh blood not the same ole’ politicians over and over. He isn’t a great commissioner, but at least it would partially get him out of the county bs the commissioners continually pull.

  13. bow hunter on October 17th, 2017 8:05 am

    hope the city people vote him in so we will be rid of him in the county

    Watch out City of Pensacola, he’s screwed up the beach with his proposed $30,000,000 traffic circles and now is running away.
