Council member Megan Pratt uses three cities to defend why the Pensacola City Council needs its own staff. She doesn’t compare the populations to Pensacola 53,248 – 6,656 per council member. Pratt should give the citizens all the facts, not just a partial analysis.
Hialeah population 217,417, 31,060 per council member
St. Petersburg 248,098, 31,012 per council member
Orlando 220,186, 36,698 per council member
Each council member in those cities represents nearly as many people as 4 Pensacola City districts.
