Making the Case for a County Charter
Rick Outzen sits down with John Peacock — a driving force behind Pensacola's strong-mayor charter — to dig into why Escambia County still operates under state rule instead of home rule. They break down what a county charter would actually change: an elected "county mayor" citizens could hold accountable, real checks and balances, and a say-so voters don't currently have under the five-commissioner system. Peacock argues the timing is finally right, pointing to the city's own strong-mayor track record and two years of runway before the next election to start a charter study process. #EscambiaCounty #CountyCharter #PensacolaPolitics #StrongMayor #RicksBlogLive #LocalGovernment #Accountability #FloridaPolitics #CivicEngagement
