Written on Letter To The Editor: Sadly laughable:

Let's take a real look at Esq. Tucker.

1. He lied about photos of people planting asbestos for 6 months before he finally admitted he didn't have any.

2. He complained that so many people disliked him as a result of his activities on the council that he didn't have any business and his practice was falling apart. His own home fell into foreclosure.

3. Over 2,000 people signed a recall petition that stated that they believed he was unfit to serve.

4. He routinely insulted and verbally abused anybody that would come before the council and disagree with him. Who can forget the shameless way he treated Shell Peterson, our first council chair, Ed Foster, and many others that tried to address our council in a positive manner presenting an opposing view? I am sure that E. Glen would have led the charge to deny Mr. Glaub his democratic right to present an opposing view, in full compliance with his constitutional, democratic rights, by having Mr. Glaub removed from the dictatorial chambers of our council by the chief of our police state.

The sleazy, backroom tactics employed in naming cith hall after Tucker is in keeping with the style and substance of the dictatorship that Esq. Tucker represented. It symbolizes everything rotten with Marco Island Politics. Many of us will reflect on Mr. Tucker's style and substance every time we drive by city hall in the future. It will serve to remind us all how corrupt and self serving Marco Island politics are.

Written on Meet Marco’s school board candidates :

I think it is great that Dr. Recker and Dr.Mario Sanchez are running for this board. We need fresh, qualified people in these most important leadership positions. Please give them your support.

Written on Story/BLOG: Special-called Marco budget meeting yields few changes :

It is symptomatic that this group of fools would have a meeting to change something they can't change. Why didn't Thompson tell Popoff that they couldn't accomplish anything with the meeting and save Popoff the embarrassment and us a waste of time?

Written on Will art proposal have businesses seeing red?:

This is a really bad idea. We don't need any more petty committee's dictating what is "art". Marco Man is a prime example. Many of us think he is a joke and a disgrace.

Written on Letter to the Editor: Shame on all of you:

Monte, instead of spending your time insulting our citizens, you and Areceri should hold a benefit for poor Wayne Waldack so he can make the payments on the $325,000 loan he took out on the house his mother gave him.

It is really embarrassing having a councilman that is being foreclosed on and is probably not even a taxpayer. Hopefully, you and Arceri can find more qualified shills to run in the next election.

Written on Letter to the Editor: Asked, answered:

Wayne can't even make payments on the $325,000 loan on the house his mother gave him. It is in the process of foreclosure. Once he loses it, he won't even have to pay property taxes. No wonder he is so free with our money.

Walduck is just a shill for Arceri who writes everything he says. We have a new village idiot.

Written on Economy stomps Marco Wine Seller out of business :

The small businesses need to wake up and recognize that the Chamber, Monte Lazarus and Arceri are driving the year around residents off Marco. Marco will become a 4 months a year economy and small business cannot make it on that. Small business need to sponsor leadership that encourages the council stop spending money, stop raising taxes, and stop raising rates in order to make it economically viable for people to live here.

Written on Letter to the Editor: Remembering the past:

History continues to prove that Ed Foster was right in his concerns over the management of our island and the future they were imposing on us. The island is far better off for his involvement which has served to expose some of the abuses and dishonesty emanating from the Arceri camp.

Written on Letter to the Editor: Campaign continues:

Well said Sayre. Arceri is the cancer that is ruining Marco Island. It is painful to think of how much better off we would be without his programs and those programs he directs through his shills on the council, G, T, and W.
