I spoke with a former Escambia County Commissioner about he dealt with complaints from residents regarding yard debris in the street and right-a-way.
He said he would ask the county administrator to have the road department check it out. If the debris on private property, he would get a phone call notifying them that the road crew couldn’t do anything. The commissioner or his aide would call the constituent.
Why was Commissioner May’s request treated differently? The Grand Jury report states he didn’t tell Wes Moreno that it was his property. In fact, the Grand Jury chastised him for not doing so. See GrandJury report.
I asked his attorney, Eric Stevenson, why the commissioner did tell the county administrator the debris involved his lot. He said, “Rick, Lumon didn’t want special treatment. He want the call to be treated like any other resident’s request.”
This is shaping up as political hit job, especially when other commissioners have their requests treated differently. Someone saw an oportunity to indict Commissioner Lumon May and have him removed from office.
What was Pam Childers’ role? Maybe the anonymous caller knew of the clerk’s animus for the commissioner and took advantage of her prejudice.
