Speak Out - Aug. 6, 2008

Sunday, 11:06 a.m.

Yes, the name is Judy. I have heard you get what you paid for. I don’t think that is the case with our local Postmaster at the Post Office on Dogwood Dr. It is the most disgraceful federal building I have ever seen. I don’t believe our Postmaster can see, hear, or care. Therefore we the people need to speak up.

Saturday, 8:25 p.m.

Hello, my name is Gary. I would like to say it seems like our county commissioners are starting to act like the county commissioners in Escambia County. All they want to do is spend money everywhere you turn.

Saturday, 4:40 p.m.

Hi. Someone was asking me what district they live in, while talking with them they told me about these zones the districts have been divided into. I wonder why they don’t explain this to us. They split up the districts so they wouldn’t need as many county commissioners and have so many districts. They are all the time talking about cutting back and laying off a worker, but why don’t we know about this extra commissioner from the zone system. And if we have an extra commissioner, why don’t they layoff the commissioner.

Saturday, 2:28 p.m.

This is Jack. I still think we need to cut all of our elected officials salary in half. Give half to the zoo and use the rest to help the elderly pay for their medicine.

Saturday, 1:04 p.m.

Yes this is Nita. I am very disgusted with the way the county commissioners have done Milton. As a little city with a lot of historic buildings it is shameful they have turned their back on it while promoting and pushing the sudden growth of Pace and Pea Ridge. We need someone who thinks of more than just Pensacola, the beaches, and Pace.

Saturday, 11 a.m.

Hi this is Joyce from Milton. I would like to thank everyone in Santa Rosa County and Milton who pulled over for the funeral of my sister, Vivian Ronzone. Her family was very impressed and I was very moved by the showing of respect. Please don’t ever give up this tradition. It was wonderful to see the outpouring of respect from the police and everyone else. Thank you so much.

Thursday, 5 p.m.

Hello, this is Marian. Yesterday a friend and I parked at the boardwalk near the gazebo. Only a couple of spots were available to park, but there was no one along the boardwalk or gazebo. The boardwalk and park were built here for the people to enjoy the view of the boats and the beautiful Blackwater River. But you can’t enjoy it if you can’t find a place to park. If the business people parked elsewhere then the public would be able to enjoy the park. This is not a private parking lot for them.

Thursday, 9:01 a.m.

This is Ed. I want to thank the people who sponsored the gift from local businesses in the community. I thought this program was really special. I want to thank the businesses and God Bless those who made this wonderful gift possible.
