Written on Former city leader Harry Cowin succumbs to illness:

May God rest your soul Harry. Maybe the city will name the community room after him.

Written on Marco council blog: Resident gets police escort for speaking poorly of late councilman:

John, you talk about voting the idiots out, sounds like a great idea but no one will run for office. Will you run? Will Robert Glaub? How about Fossil? There are only four candidates to choose from for three seats. Some of you complain constantly but no one steps up to run. A lot of what you say John makes sense but put your money where your mouth is and step up!

Written on Marco council blog: Resident gets police escort for speaking poorly of late councilman:

Fossil, I have read some pretty ridiculous blogs from you in the past but this sanctimonious BS you wrote above is complete nonsense.

You're right about Tucker, he never defended or offered an explanation for his actions because he didn't care what people like you or Glaub thought; he did what was best for the city. If politicians defend themselves against every insult, rumor and lie they would give life to it. Instead, Tucker, like most politicians didn't dignify the naysayers with a response.

As I said before, Robert Glaub was out of order and needed to be shut down. This was a public meeting where business was to be conducted and his behavior was immature and disruptive. I question whether you actually saw it Fossil. Chairman Popoff showed tremendous restraint.

It’s ironic but I don’t think the motion would have passed unanimously but after Glaubs childish drunken missive he just assured a unanimous vote. Good job Glaub; I’m sure at least one or two councilors would have voted against this motion until you shamed them into voting for it. It’s people like Fossil and Glaub that make it impossible for this community to move on; they love the negativity and they love the fight. I'm sure Glaub will be a hero in his little circle of cavedweller friends. Didn't his wife just write a LTE asking for mutual respect and no more name calling? What a shame…

Glaub must have been drunk. Wow, I'm so impressed, it took a great deal of courage to do a hachet job on a dead guy. Glaub was entirely out of order and should have been removed sooner.

Written on Letter to the Editor: Let the record speak:

Ed, I would like to see the emails you are speaking of between Bania and Kiester. If they are relevant then please post them on the blogs. Thank you!

Written on Kiester forum explores amendments, garners petition signatures:

MarcoJimbo, thank you for your service to our country, sincerely.

I really do appreciate your service but I don't care who or what you used to be. Based on your blogs, you seem to have all the answers to all of Marco Islands problems. Instead of being sarcastic and abusive to the individuals who have the guts to step up why don't you get invovled. If you really do have all the answers, as I'm sure you believe you do, why don't you run for office. There is still time to put your name on the ballot.

Still sure you want to be in politics Larry? Are you really up for the abuse? There are a lot of people like playballonk and MarcoJimbo that have absolutely nothing better to do than bravely throw stones from behind their computers from the safety of their homes.

Written on Marco electric users won’t get their $1 million refund :

You need to check his votes John; your wrong.

Written on Marco electric users won’t get their $1 million refund :

If Kiester or Popoff voted against it they would not be able to bring it up at a future meeting. My guess is that they voted for it so they can bring it back up. I heard both councilors say that the money should be returned to the people by putting the money in a utilities fund to lower our water rates. I guess we'll see what happens.

Written on Marco electric users won’t get their $1 million refund :

I was at the meeting when council suggested returning the money and the LCEC rep said they had no way to return the money. I like councilors Kiester and Popoffs idea of putting the money into the water company and lowering rates accordingly but it got no support form council.
