?????????????????????????????????????????????????What the hell does the waterways ordinances have to do with the demise of POP and CARES, other then both of these groups have cost the taxpayers of Marco Island a heck of a lot more in attorneys fees and problems then this ridiculous waterways ordinances.
Yo Jimbo, how about this 3 month resident Neylon you tried to elect. "Not exactly fair to us full-timers, but you play the hand you're dealt" and the majority said not today. Chuck will never survive the electorate whether it be a recall or an election.
Apology be dammed Kiester should resign or be recalled and yes patton1 Sal is a hero!!!
Hawke1, It is the negative attitudes such as those you have just displayed that will continue to divide this island. Get over it, the election is over and your candidates lost. The voters have loudly spoken. congratulations to all that made this happen.
Hawke1, you say that John Arceri and Monte Lazerus wrote that article. Do you know just how stupid that statement sounds. Sounds like something Roger Hall would say.
Lolala, you really should get your facts straight. The Sanibel beach closures you speak of were due to lack of maintenance by privately owned wastewater treatment system, much like the poorly maintained privately owned septic systems on Marco Island, which is why Sanibel is now buying this privately owned system and further Sanibel has been on sewers for quite some time with little opposition from its citizens.
As to why we are being restricted from using stored water all I can say is drag yourself away from your computer and attend a council meeting like the last one where Clarence Tears from SWFWMD answered that very question.
Go argue with JOAN COLFER, M.D., JON IGLEHART and CLARENCE TEARS,
Hawke1 give up next will be state mandate.

The Marco Island Septic Tank Replacement Program questions and answers:
What are the advantages of a centralized sewer system over individual septic tanks?
There are several advantages:
-- A central system provides controlled and monitored disposal of human waste.
-- Advanced wastewater treatment systems are monitored 24 hours a day, problems with them can be quickly addressed and remedied.
-- Instead of thousands of individual systems with the potential for numerous problems, there would be one central system to manage and monitor.
-- The advanced wastewater treatment facility will be able to provide reuse water as an alternative water supply and reduce the city of Marco Island’s potable water demand by 12 percent.
-- Advanced wastewater systems treat effluent to a much higher level than septic tanks do.
-- Central wastewater systems have certified operators who can make adjustments to the treatment process.

What is it about the truth that you folks don't understand. The fact is that Batte on 8/7/06 and Hall on 8/9/06 signed the POP petitition in 2006 and Neylon on 6/28/07 and Hall on 6/27/07 signed the POP petition in 2007 and then they lied to the public and turned their backs on POP and Russ Colombo, because of political necessity and said they wouldn't support such an issue, liars and parasites the lot of them.
The only honest one of the bunch on this issue is Dr. Guidry, he told the truth
Nothing imaginary about that lolala, just a plain honest fact.
These candidates are despicable. They all supported the POP petition to oust Bill Moss and now that Moss is gone they distance themselves from POP and Russ Colombo. Great political move. Shame on the whole lot of you, your true colors have showen through.
Great friends you have Russ.
Yo Neylon, are you paying attention to what Clarence Tears is saying. I don't see him saying any of the lies you told the City Council he said at Monday's meeting. Your whole campaign has been one lie after another.
For responsible honest government vote Trotter, Recker, Gibson and Waldack
15years you forgot the honesty issue, Neylon said he was a resident for 3 months because that was the truth, again, was this a freudian slip on the part of Neylon who is prone to lying. He appears to be a bit confused himself. Not the person I would want as a leader of Marco Island.
Wrong again 15years there is no time residency requirment to qualify as a resident only that you reside here for one year before you can run for office and the honesty of the candidate in stating this, both of which are in question when it comes to Neylon.(see above ordinance)
"It is truly amazing just how much you folks don't know."
Not true 15yearsmarco city ordiance states;
"Section 5.03. Qualifying.Each candidate for city council shall be a qualified elector of the city and must have been a resident of the city for at least one year prior to qualifying. To qualify as a candidate, petitions shall be obtained from and submitted to the city manager or designee, at a time established by ordinance, and shall contain signatures of qualified electors of the city equal to one (1) percent of the total number of city electors registered in the last general election. Each candidate's nominating petition must beaccompanied by a certification of the Collier County Supervisor of Elections that the candidate had sufficient petitions signed by qualified voters of the city."
mmmmmmmmmm three months??????? Certainly raises a question. Was this a freudian slip on the part of Neylon.
It is amazing just how much you folks don't know.
Good grief!!! is this the same Bill McMullan that time after time has scolded the city council for there actions and accused the city council of countless improprieties. If it is, shame on you
FINALLY, AN ANSWER TO MY JANUARY 3rd POST;
"Neylon, where are you getting these outrageous numbers from, “when it rains, the wastewater treatment plant gets an additional 1-Million Gallons per Day through inflow and infiltration.” Would that be a sprinkle, a light rain or maybe a heavy rain or maybe a tropical storm or a hurricane? Did you have your head in the pipe at the Wastewater facility to determine whether it was poop or surface water/ground water that was coming out? Just how did you determine this number to be 1 million gallons a day?"
Its a myth, no fact, at best an over exaggerated guess based on studies done half way around the world.
Thank you Mr. Woodward, finally someone who makes sense.
Hawke1, I know that I'm just a little ole country boy and I thought it was a valid question, but if you wish I'll use smaller words and shorter sentences.
HOW'ED YOOZ GUYS GIT TA DUH 1,000,000 GAL PER DA NUMBER?
If you don't have the answer just say so.
Neylon, where are you getting these outrageous numbers from, “when it rains, the wastewater treatment plant gets an additional 1-Million Gallons per Day through inflow and infiltration.” Would that be a sprinkle, a light rain or maybe a heavy rain or maybe a tropical storm or a hurricane?

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Will the real Jim Jones please step forward and tell us what to do.
Hawke1, not said in anger just stating observation and an opinion. Racial bigotry has no place in Marco politics or anywhere in our society, if you think it does then refer to the two definitions above.
van, you bigoted moronic jerk, MONTEL, ISSLER? They end in vowels? A E I O U what school you went any how.
Moron: A person of subnormal intelligence.
Moronic: A person having a mental age of between eight and twelve years.
Pick one they both fit.
joeywalnuts,
What is wrong is Foster sticking his nose in Marco Island business, he is no longer a resident. He lit the fire and the ran for cover.
A voter perhaps, a resident NO!!!

"Montel you moron,without Ed foster there would be no reason to even log on." Wouldn't life be just grand without Ed what's his name, peace and tranquility.
Haven't you morons figured it out yet, Ed Foster has left the building, he ran out on you his supporters after he spent 50K of your contributions.
Anyone ever seen a CARES accounting.
Bbrone46, you really are an arrogant conceited know it all who in reality, much like Neylon and Hall, knows very little.
You state that “Unlike Councilman Minozzi, Councilman Kiester actually won a political election he didn't take his seat by default.” Do you mean that know one ran against him when he got elected? I’d say that was an outstanding show of popularity which showed again in the 2004 election. Why didn’t you run against him? Oh I’m sorry, I forgot, you like Neylon and Hall, were not registered voters for that election. As a matter of fact in the 2004 election Councilor Minozzi came in second in a field of eight candidates while Councilor Kiester came in third in a field of seven. So what does this prove, nothing except Councilor Minozzi and Councilor Kiester were both popular candidates when they ran and you like your buddies Neylon and Hall again show that you do not anything at all about what you are talking about.
Wow flowerpower, next time why not just tell bbyrone46 how you really feel.
Bravo, kudos and you and yours have a very Merry Christmas. You also bbyrone46
15yearsmarco, the point I was trying to make is that the same minority that was brainwashed by McMullan’s waterway’s ordinance is basically the same minority that is being brainwashed by Neylon's ridiculous unsupported conclusions. Neylon is speaking like a politician telling you and his followers what the want to hear, like another politician we all knew, George Bush senior, “read my lips, no new taxes” and we all know where that went. PRMG is a respected professional in this field with nothing to gain or loose except their reputation if their wrong. Neylon is an electrician with no experience in the rate management of water or wastewater systems. If he is elected and proven wrong it’s too late, he just says oops I made a mistake like GW did. I think I’ll stick with the proven professionals and not some amateur wannabe and urge all to vote Recker, Trotter, Gibson, and Waldeck
Lies, dam lies and more dam lies.
Regarding Neylon’s chutzpah in stating he never filed a law suite or a complaint against the city I call your attention to the fact that Neylon was a member of the CARES board when suite was filed in U. S. District Court on the asbestos issue and then resigned after it was settled because he wanted to carry on with the war against the city.
Neylon was a board member of CARES when CARES challenged the STRP bond validation and appealed their loss to a higher court where CARES lost again.
Neylon has filed complaints with every agency in the State of Florida and the Federal government that he thought would listen to him. The Governor’s office, the CCSO, the State Attorney, the FDEP, the EPA, the FBI, the U.S. Justice Department (did I miss any) and none took any meaningful action.
As to the MICA question, the question was “have you ever been found guilty of any violations of any state laws, convicted by any enforcement agencies in the United States…..” Neylon’s answer “NO” If a law was not violated why did Neylon pay the fines and why did the Massachusetts Attorney General order Neylon to pay the fines. Sounds like a BS story to me. I'll bet I can guess who told you this fairy tale.
Neylon and company have cost the City of Marco Island and the taxpayers of Marco Island ten’s of thousands of dollars in legal fees. Elect him and there will be more of the same.
PS Mr. Foster, are you still around. What the city did to validate the bonds was SOP. What CARES did was not and you lost, you packed up and ran out on your supporters after you misspent over 50K of their money. One great legacy Mr. Foster.
Does the state of NC know that you have lived in NC beyond the allowed for time of 30 days and you still have Florida registration plates on your auto.
Your right 15 years and many of us did not support that issue. But let us not forget that it was one of the CAVE dwellers staunchest supporters, Bill "The Mouse Pad" McMullan, who brought this ridiculous issue to the council in the first place and tirelessly lobbied for its passage along with many of the anti-STRP supporters such as Butch Neylon, Doug Enman, Sayre Uhler and Ray Paret to mention but a few. The council listened to the people and the rest is history.
Are you saying that the council should not have listened to the people on such important issues because if you are, I agree with you!!

Ok Jocky, try this;
REMEMBER, the false “Sunshine Law” allegations he made against former city councilors without understanding the law or getting any input – all thrown out by the State’s Attorney General as unfounded and “politically motivated”.
REMEMBER, as a leader in CARES he filed law suits against the city alleging that they should pay $25,000 a day in fines for mishandling asbestos, an allegation also thrown out of court as being unfounded.
REMEMBER, he was a leader in the RECALL of three Marco Island Councilors, also thrown out of court for lack of merit.
REMEMBER, he was a leader in numerous law suits and complaints filed against the city costing the tax payers ten’s of thousands of dollars in attorney fees.
REMEMBER, his lie in his response to a recent MICA survey question that “he never violated any State laws”. The record shows, however, that Neylon was found by the Massachusetts Attorney General to be in violation of State laws on two occasions for failing to pay his employees the proper wages. His fines were amongst the highest of any other contractor and landed him and his company in the Massachusetts “CONTRACTOR HALL of SHAME”
It just keeps going and going and going.
Please feel free to add any that I missed!!!
Lolala, I took the advice you gave 27 year and went to Mr. Neylon's web site. Where did you say the data was? Honestly, I could not find any data. All I found was less then two pages of Neylon's opinion and no data.
Come on now Lolala, tell us, where is the real data.
Where is the Neylon plan? Where is Neylon getting these projected rates ?
Where is Neylon's research being done, Fantasy Land???
PRMG, A Utility, Rate, Financial and Management Consultant.
OR
Neylon, A Retired Electrican.
I think I'll go with PRMG.
Mr. Kiester, are you saying that there is a conspiracy to exclude you and the citizens from knowing the truth about city business, a conspiracy using manufactured bogus reports. Good grief man, listen to yourself, your paranoid. If you have evidence of this nature bring it to the attention of the proper authorities and they will prosecute those responsible just as you are being prosecuted for Sunshine Violations.
Sir, you are a disgrace to the office you hold and I also will be one of the individuals that signs your recall petition.
