Yes, if you and I go to the grocery store, we should pay the same price. Tell me why that doesn't apply to the Sewers? The $20,000+ assessment for new sewers is paying for the overpriced, archaic system we bought for repairs and upkeep. Unfair and I can't believe not illegal.

Mai and her family are good people. Everyone has a breaking point. We tend to shun anything mental, mainly because we are so quick to judge, especially with things we don't understand or simply are not aware. Please know there are people out there that do understand and are willing to help in any way we can. Unfortunately children are victimized in situations like this and my thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. Just know you will not be shunned or avoided by the people that understand and care. And you truly will know now who your true friends are. Been there. Take good care, everything will be better soon...with help from those who care.

Yeah, this "expert in the field for 40 years" was the one who admitted that we bought a utility (Florida Water) in desperate "disrepair" and "overpaid" for it, even though he was a vital proponent for the purchase. Now the newly sewered people are paying for that mistake. AND he still considers himself an expert in the field and obviously IS considered one by most of the "powers to be". Yet, he wants us to make the same mistake with the electric company. I don't get it.

Hey Issler, explain to me why your cohorts on the council have managed to create ways of raising the cost of living on this island in the little time they have been in office and continue to as we speak? I didn't hear that in all their campaign promises. Also that it could be justified that we hire 8 new city employees at this time? So far it seems like my taxes, water/sewer bill, electric bill and most likely a bridge toll will be the great accomplishment of your buddies. How do you support your thought process?

Of course there will be a toll. How else can you keep the riff-raff off this island. Another island farce.

None of you get it. It's all a sham. These things are a done deal, the council just puts on a show to make us think they want our input and then vote on it. The fire assessment, the STRP, the toll on the bridge and now the electric company purchase. They are all a "done deal". And a "deal" they are/were. Pockets are lined and will continue to be lined. Voting and referendums are a farce. The decisions are made way before the votes are in. The "study" on the electric company purchase is a laugh. Believe me, it will be purchased by the city. And our electric bill will soar, as our water/sewer has. How do you think they can get rid of the middle class on this island? The goal is "upper class" Marco Island only...bye bye "peasants".

Organized religion is all about the money. Money first, saving your soul is not on the priority list. Most pastors, elders, priests, rabbis, etc. are not hurting, they are usually fat and happy. Nice homes, nice cars, travel, etc. I tried to come back after 20 years hoping it had changed and it didn't. Sorry, Julie, but it's all about the money...not peaceful surroundings or sereneness for buried loved ones. Go to any church....their homily is how much you can give to the parish, then, by the way, there is a God and you should be good, etc, etc, etc, blah blah blah....$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...then you won't go to hell, just give it up and God will protect you. Yeah, doesn't surprise me at all.

Wasn't the purpose of the first letter to refute the fact that the lot was supposed to be within the church community and not sold for commercial reasons? Okay, maybe the facts might have been inaccurate (I didn't check) but mortgages are paid off by donations from the parish, not land donated for other reasons and certainly not for commercial use.

Instead of insulting Mr. Hall, why don't you tell us all why you would want a person who has lied (and if you don't agree, let us know what you thought happened with the photo evidence he claimed he had), a person who has continuously gotten away with a myriad of conflicts of interest on this island, a person who refused to vote on topics at the city council meetings (that was his job as a council member), a person who encouraged balking at the citizens of Marco who wanted to speak at meetings but were turned away, a person who is arrogant, condescending and untrustworthy. Why would you want a person like this on anything on this island. If anyone needs to leave, it's not Mr. Hall, it's Mr. Tucker, he's so full of himself. Oh, and Fossil, the 11 or so comments above are only from people who have nothing else to do, but to reap any benefit the likes of Mr. Tucker can give them. And believe me, it's not pretty. The reason he has gotten away with all he has is because money talks and bs walks.

Typical...when some one has "your number" and you know it and can't answer his challenges, you go for the jugular. Dirty. Shame on you, McMullan's got ur number. Admit it.
