"Sacher said Friday he first heard about the plan to fire Thompson from Marco Island Taxpayer Association President Fay Biles the week before council made the decision."

Biles egotistic power trips are legendary. She has been honing her skills of behind the scenes manipulation for over a decade and has apparently managed to pull off a coup d'etat while also managing implausible deniability. “I took no part at all in this,” Biles said.

Biles has been stacking the Council Chambers for years with dissidents and misanthropes and those who just like to bash the powers that be for amusement, species that unfortunately thrive when thrown together and who are especially shortsighted.

Biles organizes behind the scenes letter to the editor campaigns and emails to City Councilor campaigns so she can hide behind her aloofness and Ph.D. and self appointed status as President of MITA (Marco Island Taxpayers Assoc) since its inception.

She is not only self distructing now but she is also attempting to take down the City government of Marco with her.

Recker seems to have lost his ability to think clearly and is reacting to Biles con job of creating a smoke screen with her angry followers so that he cannot see beyond it to the vast majority of the Islanders who are shocked and outraged by his actions.

Sad day for Marco Islanders.

Riviere would be well advised to slow down and be cautious at this point in time. Hopefully he will rely on a long view and what is best for Marco Island by considering that Biles voice is more shrill than substantive. And that the rest of us who have been bullied by her and her angry mob are looking for someone who will fight back and be thoughtful and reasoned in the midst of chaos.
