• So while I am waiting on public records (AGAIN), I am also preoccupied by the imminent birth of my first grandchild. She is going to be here any day. I have a granddaughter by marriage that I love so much. She’s going to be 7 on Thursday and may be sharing a birthday with her

  • One of the public records requests I was waiting on was from Escambia County (myEscambia.com). Because the county loves to play games with PRR’s, I requested the bare minimum and ended up making a second request that I have not received yet .

  • ECSO Under Fire: Too Many “Chiefs”?

    I know it’s been a minute since my last post. I have broken this post into 2 possibly 3 parts. The reason is there is a lot that has transpired on the periphery and also I’ve been waiting on public records requests. I’ve also gotten a couple that didn’t illuminate much, like the Chitney door
