Escambia County Corrections employees at the county Road Camp will receive an additional employee benefit that none of the county’s other employees will receive next year.

Commissioners today voted unanimously to give the police union what it was asking for — replacement of longevity pay with an educational stipend for additional officer training — mirroring the ruling of a special magistrate in Tallahassee.

A lot has happened since my last article. we have gone thru the primary season and now are off to the general election. please watch out for the roll call with our political endorsements from PBA. PLEASE VOTE it is not only your right it is your obligation to attempt to make our community better.

Excess leave pay outs our 1st case went to arbitration and we await the out come approx 30 days for the ruling. A non member has filed in federal court, but no one knows how any of these will turn out.

Congratulations to all of our board members who have been promoted. You can be proud of your accomplishment. I wish you the best in your new positions.
