BTW: Halcorp lease passed

Halcorp got its 2.5-year lease extension last night. The Pensacola City Council passed it by a vote of 7-3, with Councilmen Wu and Wiggins and Mayor Fogg voting in opposition.

The seven who voted for the extension included John Jerralds and the six council members that received campaign contributions from Halcorp and/or the Port of Pensacola Users Association. Wu, Wiggins and Fogg did not get contributions from Halcorp or the PPUA.
