Written on Letter To The Editor: Condos should be rewarded for efficiency:

Another idea...cancel the base fee for everyone and cover the costs through the usage. As a portion of the actual usage the issue disapears! Poof!

Magic!

Written on Letter To The Editor: Rates seem fair:

By George...I think you are on to something.

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

This is so simple. The electric company knows exactly what they charged each owner in tax. Give the money back to them and ask them to credit each unit that paid the fee. This will simply reduce next months electric bill. This includes the hotels...why try to fleece them, they were just as much a victim as any other stakeholder on the island.

Do the right thing.

Written on Least expensive Smokehouse Bay Bridge proposal may not be residents’ favorite :

Condoseller might be onto something. 18 months ago I stopped by the Winterberry Bridge and had a chat with a contractor to get a sense of when new bridge would be completed. I did not follow it up, because it could have been just chit chat, and that still may be the case...but he volunteered that he had just torn down a perfectly good bridge.

Council should take another hard look at this project and be sure of what they are doing...if you remember the sewer project, getting the population irritated can be disasterous on Mark-up Island.

Written on Dog bite takes a chunk of faith away from Capri family:

Many towns have a fenced area where the dogs can be dogs and run...fenced the operative word.

Written on Software to add efficiency to Marco's code enforcement and permitting :

Since it saves so much time, what is the headcount reduction?

Written on Yacht clubs address rumors and economic waves:

grunt...right or wrong I love your style.

Written on POLL: Amplified music at Marco’s Esplanade carries council support :

When it started the music was not amplified, then it was amplified a little, then a lot and now with sound barriers. It is too established now to role back, and the sound barriers help and it does not go late into the night...but is still a good example of creep.

Written on Yacht clubs address rumors and economic waves:

We are long time members of a club up north with recoprocity but MIYC limits us to 2 dinners in season, per year. We would drop in excess of 3K a year in the restaurant if we did not have that restriction.
