Written on State Attorney: Marco City Council did not violate Sunshine Law during anchoring case’s closed sessions :

Just add this to the list of costs the naysayers have incurred for the city because of all their capricious lawsuits for publicity purposes. And, they are the first to scream about the budget! Does anyone appreciate the irony?

Naples News 2/7/08: Judge finds Marco councilor guilty of Sunshine Law violation

a Collier County Judge ruled a Marco Island City Council member guilty of a non-criminal public records violation Thursday afternoon.

Councilman Chuck Kiester, 67, was ordered to pay the maximum $500 fine for deleting e-mails relating to city business from his home computer.

District Judge Mike Carr told the court Chuck Kiester had "made a mockery of the law"

Written on Marco to consider building a high school in the park:

Additional tax dollars should NOT go to this. We pay enough in school taxes as it is....check your tax bill to see how much you are already paying....it is almost 50% of your tax bill.

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......
