    Dang. Out of self-interest, I had hoped Mrs. Gilley wouldn’t be offered this position, or take it if she was.

    Congratulations and best wishes, Janice. I look forward to your capable leadership of Escambia County operations.

    What ? No outlanders available ? I figure at least 2 of the commissioners are outlanders & they’d want one for the administrator job. I’m glad Janice got the job , maybe she will last for a while.
