Written on Planning Board: Rolling gurneys on shell remains a concern :

Marco97,
But what if the elevator isn't big enough for a gurney? Do you have to have a "dumb" waiter installed on the side of your house?

Written on Reports of out-of-state election contributions misleading, readers say :

You can trust they will be inaccurate!!!

Written on Forcht also has out-of-state contributors in Marco race:

This is the worst writing I have ever seen!
Also...Many of Marco's home owning taxypaying residents have accounts from out of state. Just because they may not be registered voters here doesn't mean they don't care about who the councilman are...

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

jchamberland...I believe kosherdeli means the little useless plot of a park at Collier & Barfield. The one that's only purpose is signs advertising the Famers Market.

Written on POLL/Fiscal conservatism: What does it mean for Marco candidates? :

And Ed....what you say is a matter of opinion and for the record I don't believe Terri DiScuillo lives on Marco currently so her endorsement means as much to me as Ed Foster or Godfrey Davies haha...Get over the public records already everyone else has...it is NOT an issue. Money is the issue and your candidate is not being very fiscally conservative even you have got to admit that!

Written on POLL/Fiscal conservatism: What does it mean for Marco candidates? :

I have 4 registered voters in my household. My spouse and I and 2 of our voting age children. All FOUR of us received his mailing yesterday. All I can say is after the display of utter ridiculous spending (each one must have cost at least $1.00) and to not take a little time to delete duplicate addresses to the household and just send only one brochure has led me to be very annoyed.
I considered voting for him earlier but after the Starbuck's invitation - I make my own coffee at home now and try to put the savings away for the upcoming water increases, mortgage payments in case either of us is laid off in this recession (huge possibility) and if looks like if magel gets on TAX INCREASES!!! This type of spending is NOT what I want on council.

If you only vote for Magle it's throwing away 2 of your votes! And, if you vote for Magle we get you....Arceri....Granda....along with him! FORGET IT!

Written on Marco doctor charged with soliciting prostitution avoids trial:

hey, maybe his building would make a good high school.
If I was him, I would get the heck out of southwest Florida and start over somewhere else!

Written on Marco museum's fate remains in limbo:

What a wonderful spot for a high school...

Written on POLL: Marco city council campaign finances revealed:

$9,300 . . . Holy Cow!

Written on Charter review committee back in the saddle, disapproves of Council raises :

Your right u2cane, and thats the way it used to be till the economy fell through the floor.

I'm glad the Council is talking about this before they take action, its very refreshing.

Written on Marco to consider amnesty period for code violations on foreclosed properties:

Kind of a catch 22....ya wanna sock it to the banks, but we also want to get our island looking beautiful again. These houses are an eyesore and if it takes amnesty to get them back up to code, then I for one say so be it!

Written on Island views: Do you think it’s fair for condo sewer rates to be lower than single-family home rates?:

Condo owners poop costs just as much as house owners poop to process, I know their $h!* doesn't stink but it still costs money to process! Also, all members of the workforce DO NOT live in condos...

Written on Letter to the Editor: Please tell me why:

JOHN.....RUN FOR COUNCIL!
Your letters are doing NOTHING!!!
Put your money where your mouth (or pen) is and get off your bottom and run already! Your armchair council act is getting old!!!

Written on Letter to the Editor: Political failures nothing new on Marco:

I also have some advice....why don't you and JWP move...you guys are annoying!

Written on City Councilman and incumbent seek openings on Marco Charter school board :

I agree mhs513.....our council should concentrate on council....

Written on Marco Island’s newspaper is born:

Thanks Marco47 - I will definitely look into the filter....

Written on Marco's City Hall “wall” comes down, Esplanade neighbors angered by noise, special events :

Oh, like Guidry donates a couple of feet of closed road and gets a larger parking lot and free lights and electricity for those lights and a tax deduction, and now wants more......I see what your saying.....I stand corrected.

Written on Marco Island’s newspaper is born:

And now 40 years later , apparently dying a slow death, I've always enjoyed the paper and the small town appeal . But lately had to put a block on the laptop . After encouraging my kids to read the local paper , keep up on current events, see what's going on etc.
But now you can't look up any article without ,
SURPRISE HER WITH A BIGGER PENIS , ADD 4 INCHES NOW !!
FEELING LESS THAN A MAN etc.
You get the point.

I predict this comment will be removed by staff ,

Written on Marco's City Hall “wall” comes down, Esplanade neighbors angered by noise, special events :

dc5799,
perhaps Dr. Diaper was a little mean spirited.....but the Dr. did act like a baby when he lost the election and started this whole mess.
As I said earlier, donations are not made to hold over the recipients head, veteran or not. And, we still don't need his parking lot.

Written on Marco's City Hall “wall” comes down, Esplanade neighbors angered by noise, special events :

NO Beowulf, I am someone who believes when we donate something we do so for the good of our soul, not to continue to throw back at those it was donated too....not to mention I would hope he received a tax deduction for the "strip" of land he acquired due to the reconfiguring of Bald Eagle...
Dr. Diaper was absolutely wrong in his actions after he lost the election, shows his true character I believe and if the building wasn't done, we should give the land back to the jerk.
We don't need his parking lot....only did when he and his "friends" were bringing their lynch mobs to council meetings.

Written on We are family: Marco community to have Thanksgiving feast together :

As usual, the gang at Chefs express goes above and beyond.
But knowing them, you wouldn't expect anything less.

Happy Thanksgiving !!!!

p.s. you to Sweet-pea

Written on Letter To The Editor: Respect the iguana:

Not to mention they are not indigenous to Southwest Florida, they were let go by people that had them as pets and didn't want them, now they are an infestation.

Written on Island iguana hunt a success :

Check out Boca grande, roughly (2) years ago.
Same thing happened. first there was a couple, people said protect them.
They soon took over the Island , ate all the turtle eggs , bird eggs , snake eggs etc. attacked pets . Gotta do the old Barney fife thing , nip it in the bud .
It is what it is .
Sorry tree huggers.

Written on Isles Of Capri man dies in motorcycle crash :

Written on Letter To The Editor: What iguanas?:

try riding your bike on the canal side, that is where the iguanas are hanging out

Written on Marco Manager's Report: How can we be better together :

Nice job Mr. Thompson! I and many others applaud your efforts and you have our support!

Written on Marco Island rallies for ‘Disco Dave’ as he battles cancer:

Best of luck to you Disco,
Seems like nothing changed
( home playing with your putter )
Just kidding .
See you soon.

Written on Letter To The Editor: On Mr. Arceri:

wayne, why don't you pick up your phone and call Mr. Columbo (and whomever else you have a bone to pick with) and spare us all your weekly letters to the editor. I don't see any other councilors using letters to the editor as their forum for communication with citizens.

Written on Marco's Parks and Recreation Director Dana Souza resigns:

Dana, you will be missed. I hope Greenville doesn't just take and never give like Marco did.

Hmmmmmm.......another 5-2 vote that screwed over the residents of the city???? Recker, you voted for Thompson to be city manager, you can't possibly be second guessing your decision, can you?

The following is from the April 15th issue of the Marco Eagle:

":After a round of votes that revealed Thompson as the favorite over Steven Malloy by a 5-2 vote, the council took a vote to approve Thompson unanimously as the first pick. Councilors Ted Forcht and Chuck Kiester cast their ballots for Malloy."

The more I follow this city's circus, the more I wish the minority was the majority.

Written on Marco cop recovering after crashing watercraft into mangroves:

Good luck Kevin ,
Did anyone else know about the benifit ?

Written on Cleaning up a corridor of disgrace north of Jolley Bridge:

Corridor of Disgrace ?

Who comes up with this stuff ,
It's disrupting my quality of life.
Sounds like I live on Marco , doesn't it.
( I do live on Marco , just being funny , calm down )
Lets all meet there Saturday morning and clean it up and quit complaining.
Any volunteers ? Mr. Recker

Written on Taxpayers to take on fire assessment with Marco City Council:

Wow, Forcht was the only councilman to vote against the fire assessment? I didn't think he was that smart.

Written on Seldom-used Marco substation becomes southernmost base for six law enforcement agencies:

Written on Marco City Council ‘puts tools in the hands of police officers’:

Where did you come up with racial slur. Would a hair-plug appt been better?

So what does that mean ejburger....we have a budget meeting without any councilors there. Rob knew the salary when he ran for office. Is his time more valuable than the other six councilors? I am sure if one of his campaign slogans was "I will refuse to attend a meeting that lasts more than 12 hours" he would not have been very successful. I don't think that is being a "team" player, the team being the residents of Marco he was elected to represent. The other councilors have have jobs. They seemed to have plenty of time to adjust their schedules.

Written on Letter to the Editor: No need to conserve?:

Did you watch the meeting oh nay-sayer Enman....

Written on Marco City Council ‘puts tools in the hands of police officers’:

"Popoff said that he would not attend any back-to-back meeting schedule which kept council in the community room for about 12 hours in one day." Excuse me.....Why don't you resign then Poopoff... 12 hours in one day is the usual work schedule of many successful people on Marco.....Is that too much for "Princess Pofoff"? Probably would have missed a spray tan appointment. Six other councilors found time and feel their positions are important enough to dedicate a 12 hour day to. Not to mention the city staff that was there all day. Are you better than everyone else Rob?

On second thought, I am glad he wasn't there because then surely the assessments would have gone through.

Written on Cases of mischief on the rise on Marco:

Well your name fits , but have a nice day. OLD MARCO MAN.

Written on Cases of mischief on the rise on Marco:

I totally agree with you MarcoFam6 , I meant an enforceable law with the police,

Written on Cases of mischief on the rise on Marco:

Go to the corner of Collier & Winterberry after 10;00 pm, in front of the 7-11
There's been a group of kids there almost nightly. isn't there a curfew ?
They just walk back and forth between Marco walk & the 7-11. Sitting on the side of the road.

Written on Marco Island to raise taxes, add fire assessment, increase staff :

I watched the council meeting and not one citizen spoke in favor of the fire assessment. Why then did it fail 6-1? Assessments are obviously not what most of the residents want. I just don't understand why the council isn't listening.
