in response to MrBreeze:

The whole thing is about "registered voters" vs. "taxpaying property owners"

Many of the taxpayers of Marco Island are not full time residents. I being one of them purchasd my home over 10 years ago in the hope to retire to the island. So Mr. Issler stance of the election results are true by the numbers the do not represent the "attitude" of the island.

Once the registered votors like myself transfer our vote to the island the I think you will see the full truth in the election process. It is a shame that people like Mr. Issler regard the non-resident vote as nothing in the whole picture.

I would like to see how the island would be supported if the non-voting non-resident would not be there to fund the island through all the property tax and utility costs we support. I wonder if Mr. Issler and all his supporters would step up to pay the shortfall in revenue. I think Mr. Issler and his pals are in for a "wake-up" call when people like myself are fully retired and can seek office and kick his type out of office. Enjoy while you can "time changes a lot of things" Mostly people and opinions.

If you don't like what you see going on around the Island, don't use the excuse that you are not a full-time owner here. As a homeowner (full-time or not) you have a right to vote to change the way things are run here. This is the reason we have some of the problems we do here. Too many people don't vote or don't care, and then complain when things don't go their way. The only way things will change is if everyone who feels the way you do does something about it.
