Excellent. And it is more than explosion of office supplies. It is an over expansion of city facilities and services with resultant increase of city expenditures. Add to the mix the lack of prioritization.

Even in this article, "Director Tim Pinter urged council to reconsider, noting that it’s been nearly a decade since roadways have been resurfaced". Is it me or is it normal practice to resurface roads every ten years? Is it the potholes from freezing and snowplows?

I guess it may be too much to ask the city to get a handle because on this path the percentage of taxes paid to Marco Island vs Collier County will continue to rise.
God help us all.

Public Works wants us to pay for resurfacing the roads because they are being busted-up by the tandem-axle dump trucks being operated by Quality Enterprises, Mitchell & Stark, and others working on City Public Works projects. Why do you think the "old" Jolley Bridge deck is in such bad shape? It's time to quit over-engineering our island paradise. Maybe Tim can get the Lee County D.O.T. director job. He hasn't been caught-up in any asbestos-crushing or Hydrogen-Sulfide release scandals (that we know of yet).
