City Council passes resolution in favor of tent city

   October 27, 2011

The Pensacola City Council passed a resolution tonight in favor of Occupy Pensacola erecting tents and living in them for the next two weeks. Mayor Hayward had said prior to the meeting that he wasn’t in favor of the tents. However, the council passed a resolution authorizing the them.

I tracked down Hayward tonight to get his reaction.

“I oppose the tents,” said Mayor Hayward. “However, the city council passed their resolution authorizing them. We will revisit the issue in two weeks.”
