Comment: What really gets me,is what Jannet Holly just did, people are having a hard enough time with all that is against them now,and why are the schools having such a hard time, between the lottery, other taxing, and Jannet Holly.

Comment: Where do I start? There are no jobs, and little effort to bring new business, manufacturers to the area. Crime rate is increasing among juveniles, police will not admit that there are GANGS in the pensacola area. They could admit this and perhaps rally community effort to stop it. Escambia county Politicians and leaders have their priorities wrong. We need Jobs, better education for our children (instead of cuts), and more police or intervention specialist to reach out to today's youth. So Jobs, Education, and more Police more improve the area. from Pensacola by Donna

Comment: This county catters to rich and those who come up the extorsion money to county officials. County officials don't give a hoot about the unemployed or working poor. The leader ship is short sighted cannot see past their arrogance. from Pensacola/Florida by Kevin
