Thank you for your Posting #2. I appreciate the feedback of Citizens on my performance.

I'm sure you are just using me to vent a general feeling of frustration with the Government on Marco, because everyone know I have voted against the STRP on ever vote taken at Council because
1) I promised I would
2) I didn't think their was good data on the effects of Storm Surge, Prolonged Power outages on the Pump Stations and the effect of not having anti-backup values in the event of a catastrophic failure.

I know you know that the study on the Jolly Bridge is being paid by the MPO through Federal Dollars and not first person taxes like your Property Taxes. I also think you know that if a new bridge isn't needed then we don't pay a thing.

I am slightly disconcerted that you called me a liar though. I think that is unfair. To the best of my ability and as far as I can tell I have kept ever promise I made during my Campaign and Election. Not only that but because issues arise in day to day government that cant be anticipated during Debates and Elections I send out nearly 2,000 Email copies of the Agenda of the upcoming Council meetings stating my opinion and ASKING for the opinion of the Voters and Tax Payers in the community.
That list isn't just a list of those who agree with me either. Its made up people who have written me through my City Email:
(TForcht@cityofmarcoisland.com ) or my private Email:
(Councilmanforcht@comcast.net ).

I don't mind if you disagree with me, conflict makes the end product better, but do so as a Mature Adult, leave the name calling to those who can only bring themselves up by cutting others down. I know your better than that.

Once again I want to thank you for your thoughts and opinions they have been noted and recorded.
