Kevin White interview

   September 21, 2007

Yesterday on IN Your Head Radio (NewsRadio 1620), I interviewed Escambia County Commissioner Kevin White. He said that the Touart vote for him was simply following the county administrator’s contract.

“If he wanted something else, then he (Touart) should have negotiated a better deal,” White said. White said the county had to act because Touart’s side deals had hurt public trust in county government. He told me that he had no idea of the Touart’s land deals until he was called by PNJ reporter Michael Stewart.

White is very hopeful about consolidation and said the county will be discussing it in the upcoming months. In an interview I had on Wednesday with Mike Wiggins, the Pensacola city councilman said the same thing…so maybe we have a chance to shrink our local government.
