Consolidation keeps rolling

From Escambia All for One

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We’ve all been working hard to understand the needs of the citizens of our city and county. After receiving generous support from the Citizens across the county, including rural, minority, Perdido Key, North End, and Pensacola Beach, the exploratory committee is continuing to move forward.

The state local delegation will hear our request on Dec 8th for a local bill to be passed in Tallahassee. That bill will enable the Citizens of our County to review unified government, write a county constitution to form the unified government, and hold a referendum vote to support or decline a unified government.

Escambia All for One is requesting the County Commission and City Council to pass a resolution that would support the passing of an enabling act in Tallahassee to allow the citizen of Pensacola/Escambia County the opportunity to craft a constitution and vote via referendum on Unified Government. This resolution will only include their support for the local bill.

We need your help! 1st please call or email your County Commissioner and City Council representative. 2nd please attend the following meetings to show your support of this cause. We will need public presence at the following events:
