Written on Councilman Chuck Kiester eyes reelection, Marco's future :

August8: That's a good idea!

Written on PHOTOS/Marco Council blog: Vice Chair "ballistic over" charter change:

Marcoislandres: suggest you check your electric use. In a house of 3200 sq. ft., our bill ranges from under $100 in the winter to between $125 and $175 in the summer...and that is with a pool and free standing spa whose filters run all day.

Written on Marco’s million dollar question morphs into more :

Why spend money on the administrative costs involved in a one time refund? Just put it into utilities to lower the rates.

Written on Lawsuit over the release of public records unearthing asbestos concerns in Marco:

Don't forget all the asbestos stockpiled in Foster's garage.

Written on Federal stimulus contract awarded for Marco’s $25.5 million new Jolley Bridge span:

Great comment, u2cane. Those who complain about no fishing pier are probably the biggest complainers about government spending!

Written on Letter to the Editor: Sound bite leadership:

There are legitimate questions that need to be answered about healthcare. However, perpetuating myths and lies helps no one. But, alas, there are factions in this country who do not want to rise above the myths and lies for constructive discussion.

Written on Marco’s public beach access a “shore” thing, parking a different story:

"During the Island’s development, Deltona Corporation failed to reserve beaches for public use and before the city incorporated in 1997, the county also failed to protect land for beach access."

Once again, the Eagle has failed to fact check or is unaware of the history of Marco Island.

The Mackle Brothers made a deal with the county, donating land for Tigertail and Gene Sarazen to meet the requirements for public access.

PLEASE do some fact checking......

Written on Guest Commentary: Facts not fiction - The buying of the water system:

Nice to finally read some FACTS rather than rants from someone who doesn't even live on Marco.

Written on Marco doctor charged with soliciting sex for medical services:

The negative faction on Marco sure can pick their candidates!

Written on Utility rate increases, financial quandaries may halt Marco sewer project :

in response to jwputnam:

Arceri pressed our council to award Moss a $16,000 bonus for his "excellent work" in purchasing the water and sewer utility. They did.

I remember Vicki Kelber smiling and laughing in council about how much praise they should all receive for lowering the mill rate repeatedly even though real rates continued to climb dramatically. I remember her stating that she was so surprised that her "modest" home "is now reportedly worth a million dollars" and that the council should take great pride in the increase in value that they had added Marco homes with their endless projects and proposals. (True idiot!)

I have been eviscerated for many comments that I have made in the past regarding Marco's leadership. I promised myself not to write on these pages ever again, but somehow I feel delightfully vindicated by this article. Unfortunately, this is likely just the beginning of our problems. The news to come will be worse and even more worse.

The Obama administration is a terrible disaster, no doubt, but WE are able to control our own destinies on Marco. Wake up people and take charge...NOW!

PS Kiester is your man. His record deserves your vote.

PPS Arceri is the anti-Christ. Don't blink.

PPPS As long as Liz is still on the payroll for $100,000 as a "communicator" for Thompson....NOTHING will have changed. It's your money people. Enjoying the ride? This is the EASY part....I promise.

As always.....John Putnam

Putnam is an out right liar. What is he on that he dreams these things up?
