Ms. Ulher, you attacked everyone at the meeting with the exception (thankfully) of the students observing the meeting from behind the dais. You are an appalling person who claims Trotter is wordy, have you read your verbose diatribe above? Talk about calling the kettle black. I won't even attempt to defend the rest of the people you insulted because your charges are so inept and ridiculous. I suspect most people reading your baloney don't pay much attention to you and your skewed view of reality. I agree with ejburger in that Mr. Recker was irresponsible in his inquisition against Mr. Thompson. My 13 year old daughter called your letter to the editor "nonsense," and I concur.

Very sorry to see Dana leave but good for him and his career development. My question of concern is if the city charter says that councilors must stay out of personel issues then why are councilors Kiester and Recker putting themselves in the middle of this? And why is Terri involved in this at all? She is no longer a councilor.

As a previous active member of MITA I must make it clear that MITA is a small organization run by small minded people.

I thought that after the election the negativity would stop but some people still countinue to attack our city. Misinformation is still the rule for some speakers. It's about time council stood up for themselves!

I seriously thought we heard the last of these people. I tell my children that persistence is a virtue but what in the world is this man trying to accomplish. Bill McMullan’s involvement in the last election thankfully sealed the fate of the four anti-city candidates. Obviously the two bloggers defending McMullan haven't heard the news -- they lost the election by a landslide. We really don't care what you have to say. We believe in the people that we voted into office, give it a break for crying out loud!

This is really a sad testament to Mr. Columbo's skewed views on reality and like, CelebrateMarco, I am seriously beginning to question Mr. Columbo's integrity. I have always thought of Russ as a gentleman and balanced person politically. After reading his one-sided letters to the Editor (starting with the one after the election where he called the majority "uneducated"). I now believe he has been at the core of all the negativity.
Russ didn't get his way when his candidates lost the election. His council was going to make Godfrey Davies city manager...whew, thank God sanity prevailed and the majority spoke loud and clear. Maybe it was Mr. Columbo who ran the show, not Mr. Davies. Because Mr. Kiester carries out Russ' agenda then Russ attempts to make Mr. Kiester a councilor of the people...all of it is pretty transparent and very pitiful. I really believe if Mr. Kiester made up his own mind he would be a very good city councilor.
Many of us parents are interested in politics and watch the meetings. I have noticed that Mr. Kiester says one thing during discussion then votes another way. I think he really believes that he should vote one way but thinks if he does he will make his vocal minority supporters mad at him. Problem is that he is an outcast and has surrounded himself with outcasts. Get with the game plan Mr. Kiester and vote your conscience, not Russ Columbo's agenda.

After reading your blogs blackwidow it really appears that you are either drinking the koolade or manufacturing it. Either way, you are a relic on Marco island and your opinoins don't matter anymore.

blackwidow, if all these assessments will make a cry baby like you move then I'm all for the assessments!

I haven't posted a blog since the election but after reading all of the nonsense from bloggers like blackwidow, van, dc and smokeyjoe I felt the need to once again remind the cavedwellers that they are in the minority. They were given a very strong message at the polls that the community has had enough of their pessimism and lies.
What has caused all of the problems on Marco is that a couple of individuals with personal agendas have tried to pass themselves off as experts and leaders and people followed them. Where are your experts and leaders now? Once they realized that their charade was exposed they left the island in shame and disgrace.
We had a chance to pay only $10k for the sewers but the anti-sewer people campaigned against this plan. A guy actually came to my door and told me not to vote for this plan. I don't understand this line of thinking at all; these people cost us money!!
We have a great city council right now; they ask a lot of questions and for the most part have no agenda other than to do what is best for Marco Island. Other bloggers have said it and I feel I must repeat it. “The STRP is a done deal so stop your complaining!” Our council was elected by the majority and that is the American way! And the majority on Marco Island is an intelligent, well-informed majority!

van you may be right but if he wasn't a police officer this would have never made the paper.
