This council has four years to inflict their grand plans on us. Why would they go to a referendum on anything? They don't care what we want. They march to the drum of John Arceri and Resort Management. We just pay the bills.

Chuck Kiester is the only councilman that has fulfilled the promises of his campaign. I wish we had 6 more like him. Marco would be a far better place.

Ted Willis is one of the most intelligent people on the island and this assessment is right on point.

This committee is a waste of time. Recently revealed e-mails disclose that John Arceri is running this program through Ronny Joel. Arceri will push this through just like he did the acquisition of Florida Water and use this committe as cover for not going to a referrendum since the citizens committee has studied and approved the LCEC acquisition. The e-mails document that Ronny Joel and Steve Thompson are the puppets and Arceri is pulling the strings.

Mr. Thompson is a good friend of Bill Moss. The tradition of distortion continues. You are going to see a lot more of this kind of spin. The first I observed was when he discussed the need to replace the "Hurricane raveged" East Winterbury Bridge. We all know the bridge was fine; it was just the sea walls that were impacted by Wilma.

Thank you Mr. Blankman for an excellent article. I hope our council is intelligent enough to take note but I doubt it.

lilhalls is right. This property should not be utilized to benefit the president of the chamber of commerce. We undersand he played a major role in getting the current council majority elected but paying him back by cheating our children is unacceptable.

The condos control the council and the city. The condos will continue to get preferred rates for all services the city profides including the new electric company at the expense of the single family homeowners. There isn't any government agency that the citizens can turn to to protest the unfair rates that the council establishes. The current slate was elected to protect the water rates and add the new preferred electric rates the council will implement at our expense.
The current ad hoc committee is being established so that the city can claim that they don't have to go for a voter approved referrendum since the citizen's committee recomended acquiriung LCEC.
Arceri withdrew from the committee and installed Gibson as his shill so he can organize the whole process without being hampered by the sunshine laws.
John Areceri is the pied piper of Marco taking the residents over the cliff for the benefit of the resorts and the Cony Isand of the future.

Who was it that labeled the councilman "My little idiot?" I guess we are now finding out why.

I've read the e-mails on the marcoislandblogspot. Let's cut to the chase and fire Ronny Joel, Steve Thompson, and the council and coronate John Arceri King. He is running the island anyway. Look at the money we'd save. I am amazed that the citizens on this island tolerate such corruptness. It must be something he puts in the water.
