Comment: Where do I start? There are no jobs, and little effort to bring new business, manufacturers to the area. Crime rate is increasing among juveniles, police will not admit that there are GANGS in the pensacola area. They could admit this and perhaps rally community effort to stop it. Escambia county Politicians and leaders have their priorities wrong. We need Jobs, better education for our children (instead of cuts), and more police or intervention specialist to reach out to today's youth. So Jobs, Education, and more Police more improve the area. from Pensacola by Donna
