Blog
Hall maintains a blog at http://pensacolad2.blogspot.com which he uses to inform constituents of issues and comment on city business. Hall came under fire for a July 6, 2007 post on his blog that said, "The joke around town is, 'what is white, shaded, and sleeps three?' Answer: A city truck."[1] He was referring to an apparent discrepancy between complaints he had received about a lack of maintenance at a Parker Circle park, which City of Pensacola officials blamed on budget cuts, and reports from his constituents that City employees spend much of their time sitting inside the vehicle instead of working.
