Someone needs to address the traffic lights in this city…never seen such antiquated equipment that is woefully inefficient and contributes to traffic accidents, road rage and fatalities. Wiseup!
Welcome home Christine. Escambia County is lucky to have someone with impeccable skills and experience with transportation, engineering, and city planning. Your successful transportation work history with very large metropolitan cities such as Phoenix and Fort Lauderdale will be very useful to Escambia. It’s good to know you will work for what is best for our community since your family heritage includes a long line of local engineers, surveyors, and developers; including your great-grandfather’s Thomas C. Watson and F.C. Brent, who originally platted the Town of Pensacola in 1895 and published the historic town map as seen on Garden Street. Your ancestors were responsible for converting the first intersections of Palafox Street from the horse drawn dirt road to brick paver streets and now we have you 125 years later.
Welcome to Pensacola Ms Franchi. ! I think you will find it a wonderful city/coounty is a great place to live and work.. We wish you the very best as you move into your new position.. Welcome to Pensacola…
@Rafeal Lopez, this along with the two $136k assistant outsider hires from two of the most corrupt areas in Florida. I smell rats.
She sure moves around from job to job a lot wonder how long she will be here.
With this being a minimum wage town, I am curious as to how much we’ve agreed to pay this new employee, not from our community. She may be qualified, but I’ve seen recent hires in our local government receive well over $100,000 a year. This salary is more than every teacher in the county, more than every CNA caring for the elderly, more than 75% of this community! Who are these well paid public servants representing? Just doesn’t feel right seeing our little bity Low income community paying our public servants more than the essential workers of this community. Thoughts?
welcome aboard Ms. Fanchi! you certainly can’t be any worse than the guys who have milked the I10-Us 29 intersection cash cow for so many years. best of luck in your new job!
