GOP Press Release on Aquarium statements

   February 4, 2011

Press Release: Escambia County’s Republican Party responded today to a letter from Bill Young, President of the Aquarium for Pensacola, to Senator Marco Rubio which was posted on the In Weekly blog concerning an individual involved in the conversion of Pensacola’s wastewater treatment plant to an aquarium facility.

Mr. Young’s letter to Senator Rubio states in part “I met Mr. Rowe back in October when he called me from the Republican campaign booth at the Pensacola Interstate Fair, which he was manning.”

Local GOP Chairman Susan Moore stated “Although I am sympathetic to Mr. Young’s issues with Rodney Rowe and the aquarium, I want to be clear that I have never met Rodney Rowe and he is not, nor has ever been, a member of the local Republican Party. Our booth at the Pensacola Interstate Fair was manned exclusively by Escambia County Republican Executive Committee members. No matter what he may have said to Mr. Young, Rodney Rowe never manned our Republican booth at the Pensacola Interstate Fair and again, is not a member of the local Republican Party.”
