The City of Pensacola’s official website, cityofpensacola.com, has been down for more than 30 hours. Citizens have not had access to any city information. The city’s Facebook page has remained active, but no mention of the issue has been on that page. Instead, the city has shared story about not locking pets in hot cars and posted a reminder of today’s Port visioning open house.
City Public Information Officer Vernon Stewart did not answer an email requesting information on what the problem is with the website and when it will be back up.
City government in the dark has gotten darker.
You are absolutely correct. However, the silence is deafening. . If the utility payment portal is also down, I WOULD BET THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS OCCURED AND THE mayor is afraid to tell for fear of exposing the incompetence in his administration. A few public records requests may reveal something, If the City would release documents.
We will never know George. They will hide that too.
I wonder if they are a victim of extortion like the City of Atlanta suffered earlier this year?
