Mayor Mike Wiggins and Council member Megan Pratt have been nominated to fill John Fogg’s seat on the Community Maritime Park Associates Board of Trustees. Wiggins has told me that he doesn’t want to sit on the board because he wants the freedom to talk to the CMPA board members without violating Sunshine Laws. I expect him to withdraw his name.
Meanwhile Jeffrey Humbles, former city council candidate, is pushing for the Escambia Democratic Executive Committee to advocate abolishing the CMPA. He argued that committee members should call the new council and persuade them to do away with the CMPA.
