in response to Ocram:

Every property owner who was effected by the, apparent, outright lack of consideration that Tucker exhibited during City Council meetings, or may have been effected by the irresponible dumping of asbestos at Veteran's park, or were put off by his admitted lie regarding such, should sign a petition to remove his name from our City Hall.

It is an insult to the people of Marco Island to have to see that man's name on the building in which he carried out some of these activities.

Yes, I hope there is a substantial change in which our councilors took part in the way that the naming of City Hall took place. A quick, sneaky, vote when few others were aware, is not in the manner our Council should act.

A quick, sneaky, vote indeed. Anyone who attended that meeting remembers how a number of our local "attorneys" showed up even though there was no agenda item and our then Council Chairman Rob Popoff silenced a citizen for speaking up for the people and question why this renaming should happen, and then Rob had the police chief remove this man from the meeting. Unfortunately this has shown how "typical" the city's cronyism actually is. While I do not like to speak ill of the dead, we should not have named a building after someone who lied to the Council and the city residents about photos and asbestos.
