The Escambia County commissioners are paid $73,818.99. Is it too much to ask them to stay for an entire meeting, especially one as important as the one yesterday on George Touart’s severance package?
Both Gene Valentino and Marie Young were gone by time there was any vote on the item. Valentino has school park dedication and Young had a doctor’s appointment. And, yes, this was a special meeting, but either move the meeting to later in the day or to another day if you can’t stay for the entire thing.
