Fossil, you have completely missed the message and it is Mr. Foster that is once again misrepresenting the facts.

As stated the city gave three options; had the people in the Sheffield area locked in the 2006 cost as the city provided and paid up front the TOTAL cost would have been $19,260 and not the $27,600 now quoted by Foster, a savings of $8,340.

The city gave another option; pay in 20 installments over 20 years which would have cost $34,482 over 20 years, with any balance due when the home was sold. The interest rate on this option was 5.57%

The city then gave a third option; don’t pay anything and pay at the end of 20 years or when you sold your home for a total cost compounded annually of $64,469 and not the $96,156 quoted by our non-resident moron Ed Foster. The interest rate on this option was 5.9%.

Those who did not take the city up on this offer rolled the dice with Foster, Neylon, Hall, Batte and Guidry and lost. The smart people who did not buy into the Foster, Neylon, Hall, Batte and Guidry hype locked in.

You may think, as I do, that it is still too much, but over 60% of the voters mandated this STRP and that’s democracy.

Foster, you truly are a moron. Had you done the responsible thing and advised everyone to lock into the 2006 price as the city provided, the savings would have been considerable;

"The estimated construction and capacity cost for your assessment area is $20,485.00 per equivalent residential connection. This also applies to vacant lots. For properties permitted for construction after June 1, 2005, the sewer assessment may be higher, depending upon the size of the home."

"You have a one-time opportunity to guarantee that you will pay no more that the current September 2006 sewer construction and capacity cost estimate, even if the actual costs are higher when sanitary sewer lines are installed in your area."

“To guarantee that you pay no more than the 2006 estimated assessment, you are afforded the following voluntary options:

Cash Payment of the full assessment as of 2006: $19,260.00

This represents approximately a 6% discount.

Your payment must be received by no later than March 31, 2007.

Payment of the assessment over 20 years in equal annual installments.

The 2006 estimated assessment cost plus interest will be payable in equal annual installments over 20 years.

The annual installment will be included with your property tax bill starting in November, 2007.

Payment of the balance of the assessment is due in full upon sale or transfer of property ownership.

Deferral of Annual Payments based on the estimated assessment as of 2006.

You will not pay any money up front or in equal annual installments.

Payment will be due in full in 20 years, or upon sale or transfer of property ownership.

Interest will accrue over the deferral period.”

Instead your BS conned your friends into believing that you Neylon and the rest of your gang of know-it-alls knew more then the experts and telling them the STRP would be stopped. I did not believe your story and locked in. Now you cry about the cost, I do not feel sorry for you at all and shame on you for feeding your friends your BS.

Mr. Foster, You have a very profound propensity to always live in the past. At this point who cares why they won, they won so get over it. Do you honestly believe that if the election was re-held today the outcome would be any different? If you do then you’re dumber then I thought. The problem was with your not so honest candidate’s and their only platform, “stop the STRP” your candidates and their advisors made a huge miscalculation regarding the voters of Marco Island.

My understanding of the meeting that Mr. Arceri attended was in regards to putting the electric lines underground. As a matter of fact LCEC officials have acknowledged that they have not heard from the city about taking over the utility. So just what secret meetings are you referring to? Do you have information you are not sharing or is this just another figment of your sinister imagination?

Should John Arceri be representing the city in this matter as an advisor? Why not? Advice is often solicited from responsiable citizens by all councilors. Maybe just not from you.

Foster, you still around; again you say nothing intelligent, “the pro-change candidates were defeated because more than twice as many people voted in this election than in past elections” brilliant deduction. The pro-city candidates were elected because they got more votes, they call that democracy you imbecile. An IQ of 170, I seriously doubt it.

You talk about those voters that don’t live here full time, you mean folks like you and Mr. Byron Erickson and let us not forget your two star candidates, three month resident Butch Neylon and sometime resident Roger Hall and I’m sure if you cared to check the POP petitions along with the first recall petitions the county has, you will find many more.

No Mr. Foster, the people of Marco Island said enough of the law suites, enough of POP enough of the recall and enough of the negative BS and when they voted they sent a very clear message that even you should understand. It is apparent that from this brouhaha that’s been created by Mr. Dillon that you and your CAVE dwellers have learned little or nothing from this last embarrassing election defeat. As I said, I will make my decision when all the facts are presented.

Foster, get over it, you are a proven loser your guys got there butts royally kicked and all of your name calling and crybaby BS won’t change it. Besides you don’t even live here anymore.

dc5799, it wasn't that we weren't listening, you just had nothing intelligent to say. Like now, without hearing any of the facts you, Foster and bbyrone46 and the rest of the city naysayers jump to a conclusion and scream the sky is falling.

At first look I would not favor this idea but I would like to first hear all about the plan before I decide. Making wild, unfounded and negative accusations is one of the reasons why all of your candidates were buried in a landslide defeat last election.

Yes, Mr. Sanchez should be commended for this contribution to our community and you Mr. Foster who have done nothing to be commended for should practice what you preach.

On Forty players no match for chess grandmaster at Marco event

Apparently there are a few misinformation specialists still left on the island whose comprehension of the written word definitely I would agree needs improvement, or maybe its just an attempt to create an issue where none exists. This event will indeed be a great event as always and 5 Brothers, with their great cuisine, will be there.

Hey gernblanstone, you reading different ink then the rest of us. I didn't see where it said 5 Brothers wasn't participating. What the article said is "Not available was the menu from Vandys 5 Brother’s Pizza parlor."

blabberstone, show me one instance of provable corruption on Marco Island other then that which is in your sick little mind and the last I recall it was just under 1,400 supporters that signed POP’s petition, twice and that does not equate to 3,000 supporters.

It is ironic that it is morons such as yourself that helped keep Hall, Neylon, Batte and Guidry away from any leadership roll on Marco Island.

Keep up the good work blabberstone.
