Residents Get Help With Government Issues During Molino Constituent Services Day
June 15, 2022
Local residents were able to receive the assistance they needed from various government offices during a Constituent Services Day in Molino Tuesday.
Rep. Michelle Salzman coordinated the event the Molino Community Center. Staff members were on hand from the offices of U.S. Senator Rick Scott, U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz and Escambia County Commissioner Steven Barry. ECUA, Florida Power & Light, and Flood Defenders also took part.
“I need a new roof and have to deal with insurance, but can’t have insurance without the roof. It needs to be ready for the hurricane season,” Paula Maria Brown said. She stopped by to learn more from Salzmans’ office about the My Safe Florida Home program. She said the Constituent Services work day was a great idea to give citizens access to their representatives.
“It brings people together. It bring our leaders, our officers, our representatives to our neighborhood. We get to meet with them, and it’s such a great pleasure and a great privilege,” Brown said.
Gaetz District Aid Jason Boatwright said he was able to assist with a wide variety of issues, including hearing aides for a veteran and a Purple Heart issue for another veteran.
Over 80 people took part in Tuesday’s event, and Salzman said she hopes to coordinate another Constituent Services work day later this year.
Salzman also took the time to teach a little civics lesson to a young man that wanted to meet her.

I’m so glad this happened. One of my neighbors was able to go and get VA support from Salzman’s office. She took them to the exact people at the federal level they needed to speak with and helped communicate his problem. He’s been trying to figure out how to navigate the system for months, and Mrs. Salzman walked him through it. His issues were resolved within hours.
It is remarkable to see our state rep; honorable Salzman doing her best. Most politicians now days only care about their contributions (pac) and going to dance the Potomac dance. Kudos to this lady she definitely got my vote. May the Gods bless her so she does not turn into a dc Scott, Nelson etc…
Could someone get Chris a cape and maybe some theme music ?
yes, it’s nice to see the county taking a day to do the job they are supposed to be doing every day. with property tax skyrocketing people will be needing help.
Great idea Michelle Salzman!! Love it.
The guy in the red shirt is Chris Curb, and I’m sure he’s there as an advocate for a citizen with flooding/drainage problems. I worked with him for many years in the Escambia County Engineering Dept.before I retired. I heard he works for Flood Defenders now, and I know he’s very knowledgeable and passionate about these type issues. Keep up the Good Work Chris!!
