Tick Tock Gang suffers another defeat

   August 25, 2010


We keep hearing from Marty Donovan, Byron Keesler and C.C. Elebash that people do not want the maritime park and its stadium. Yet they never can prove in any election or petition drive that they have a groundswell of support.

Yesterday, Charles Bare, the only anti-Maritime Park candidate, placed a distant fourth in the Pensacola Mayor’s race, getting only 13.6 percent of the vote. Only 1,763 of the supposedly 3,916 sealed and certified anti-stadium petition signers voted for Bare. The issue could have been that naysayers used up all their gas money trying to find someone to take their box of signatures that they couldn’t get to the polls yesterday.

Let’s tally up the naysayers’ defeats:

  • September 2006: Park Referendum
  • November 2008: Marty Donovan loses to Larry Johnson
  • November 2009: Marty Donovan fails to get signatures for referendum on bonds
  • August 2010: Marty Donovan & Jack Nobles fail on another petition drive
  • August 2010: Charles Bare comes in last place in mayor’s primary

0-5

Tick Tock.
