A man of intellect, character, accomplishment and a repect for our citizens. He's got my vote along with Batte, Hall, and Neylon.

Note to Popoff family: If you had witnessed Rob's arrogance at last night's council meeting as he promised to do everything he can to advance the STRP until the new council takes over you would understand why the anger against him and the Popoff name continues to escalate. He knows this program will stop in March and his obvious vindictiveness towards the voters is an ugly sight. His votes are costing us millions in wasted spending. I suggest you go to the next couple of meetings and observe how much he is despised and why.

Shoemaker is hand picked by Moss and Minozzi. He will be nothing more than more of the same and will be gone in short order when the new council gets control. The question is "How much damage will they do in the interim?"

Mr. Patterson is 100% right! If a city can't protect it's citizens, it has failed its purpose.
This council's compulsion for spending money at every opportunity is threatening our city. It has to stop! Vote for Joe Batte, Roger Hall, Dr. Andrew Guidry and Butch Neylon to bring fiscal responsibility back to Marco Island before it's too late.

I am sure it is a good salon. Unfortunately he carries the Popoff name. I am sure all of the Popoff clan are suffering from the widespread dislike of brother Rob Popoff. Rob's lack of integrity and actions on the council has ruined the lives of many of our islanders. When Naples Pool sold their accounts to Rob's nephew, I immediately cancelled my contract. I, as many others, don't want anything to do with the Popoffs. By the time Rob is through trashing the family name they will either have to change their names or move off the island.

This council has no conscience when it comes to spending our money to serve their agenda and egos. The replacements they offer, another attorney, a guy that hasn't worked in 12 years, and a bartender turned real estate salesman offer nothing more than four more years of the same. This island cannot survive that!
We need a fresh team in January in order to save the island. Vote for Joe Batte, Roger Hall, Andrew Guidry MD and Butch Neylon in January. All proven leaders with succesful careers behind them.

I am sure that Mr. Gibson is a nice guy. A former bar tender, golfer, turned real estate salesman 3 years ago, that has lived with his significant other out of wedlock for 12 years, really doesn't seem to be the kind of background a candidate needs to run a city with a budget of over $100 million dollars a year. I don't think the fact he has been on Marco for 21 years has any value. Who cares what happened in the past? We are in a major financial crises. We need people with demonstrated managerial skills to step in and solve our problems.
Our council is made up of an attorney and six people that are nice people but never amounted to anything in their lives prior to comming on the council. Unfortunately, they have proven to be very poor choices for Marco Island. Look at the mess we are in. If you want four more years of this and worse, vote for another attorney, a Kights of Columbus Minozzi clone that hasn't worked since 1995, and Mr. Gibson.
If you want to turn things around and save this island before its too late, vote for people with a demonstrated track record of success, Batte, Guidry, Hall and Neylon.

Mr. Gibson, please demonstrate you integrity by producing the polls that said the residents were overwhelming in favor of going to sewers.

I wouldn't want to have anything to do with any candidates proposed by Moss or this council if I were on the new council. Who would? The new council will select their manager using their methods. This is just another waste of money by Moss and the current council. What less would you expect. Vote for Batte, Hall, Guidry and Neylon to bring democracy back to Marco.

ejburger Your disconnect with reality is reflected in your attack above. I never said anything negative about Popoff's family. I just pointed out that the angst that thousands of Marco Islanders feel against Rob Popoff runs the risk of impacting their business. If you couldn't feel the papable anger against these actions, you weren't at the same meeting I was. Rob didn't need to rub our noses in his arrogance by proclaiming that he was going to vote for the STRP all the way to the bitter end despite the wishes of the voters.
