I will be frank. I read the PNJ every day but often wonder why I bother. I feel an obligation to my customers to stay in touch with the pulse of politics, local events, the effects of crime/business/personalities etc on our area but honestly it is a light weight newspaper. Having said that I want to say it is improving and today's paper is worth your time. In particular the front section which includes this article.
Is Pensacola paradise lost?
Escambia and Pensacola voters have spoken.
A poll released last week by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. of Washington, D.C., confirms a pervasive negativism that often surfaces in daily conversations among locals, on talk radio shows, in letters to the editor and on blogs, in public meetings and most recently, in political campaigns.
The bottom line: Fifty-four percent of Escambia respondents and 52 percent of Pensacola residents believe the area is on "the wrong track" and likely to stay there. Only 22 percent in Escambia and 23 percent in Pensacola believe it is on "the right track." The rest are not sure.
See the rest here: Paradise Lost??? I love the responses of the politicians. I would enjoy hearing your thoughts so pelase send along a comment. I will share my thoughts later today.
