His real name is Cornelius Harvey McGillicuddy IV (I'm not joking).
He dumped his wife of nine years & mother of his two small children in 2005 while fooling around with Mary Bono who was also married to someone else at the time.
He is a fake, devoid of integrity and has a legislative voting record that makes Bush and Cheney proud.
Vouchers by any other name are still tax payer dollars robbed from the public schools to pay for private schools and worse to pay for religous schools. The state of Florida has twice ruled them unconstitutional and would again even if you called them "freedom passes". Pathetic.
Mack also voted against the reautorization of the health care insurance that would have helped 500,000 children in working class Florida families gain access to affordable health care.
Is this really the best we can do?
Dump Mack or whatever his real name is.

Sorry Ed, your day in the sun has passed. Not only have you moved away from our piece of paradise, the STRP is a done deal. You are beating a dead horse. We have decided that sewers are better than septic systems for Marco Island. Your opinion is not valued. You have less standing than those you criticize. By the way, the island looks beautiful and much better now with the Collier renovations. We can see the evidence of the good management of Bill Moss and the city government.

Ed, Thank you for the information. I followed up on it. While the investigation continues and as the article points out, septic systems are also still under review as potential causes, it is instructive to note that the Sanibel Bayou Sewage Treatment facility is privately owned and was found to be not in compliance with requirements set by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
The publicly owned facilities of Marco Island are in our control and a responsible local government such as we have had will insure compliance with State requirements. This is in contrast to privately owned septic tanks which are not monitored. Raising the Sanibel Beach closures as a reason to not support finishing the STRP is weak at best.

I can find no reports indicating that sewers are responsible for the beach closures in Sanibel. In fact I only find references to heavy rains and inadequate septic tank maintenance as the culprits.
Regarding Bill McMullan, the individual lodging a complaint against Celebrate Marco…
Orlando Sentinel - September 27, 1989
Tom Schroder and Lawrence J. Lebowitz of the Sentinel staff contributed to this report.
Bill McMullan stunned an overflow audience as well as his fellow city commissioners Tuesday night when he tearfully resigned from office.
Holding up the same family Bible that he twice used to take his oath for city office, McMullan swore that he was innocent of any wrongdoing in failing for eight months to pay city sewer impact fees for a construction project he was involved in.
The city commission voted last week to investigate why it took McMullan that long to replace a missing $14,686 check he had given to the city to pay the fees.

dog:
Whose the vicious, mean-spirited nasty person? Read your post again. You win the title hands down. (Bet you're happy to finally win anything on the anti-sewer side).

You sound worried Ed. Perhaps if you cleaned your septic tank fogged glasses you could see the beauty of Marco Island from the moment you peak the crest of the Jolley Bridge and enter our little piece of paradise. The city managed to complete the Collier Boulevard project on time (actually a few days early) and it is looking very good. The trees lining Collier and San Marco are adding to the tropical feeling. The medians will only enhance the effect when completed.
The housing bust you try to blame on the city is silly. I don't think you even really believe that.
You sound like an angry old man trying anything to wreck his revenge for his early failures. Don't be bitter. Life is too short. Go for a walk on South Collier Blvd. and enjoy the stroll.

I do not know if I can really stop reading these posts or not, but I intend to try. They seem to only serve the wolf-pack mentality of EdFoster, Happy34145, jwputnam, lowus, happyharry, vashark1, rogerhall59, 15yearsmarco, strike3, bbyron46, 1paradiselost, barfieldfly, karenglaub, Marcofun etc. in trying to rip the throat out of Ed Issler. Don't you guys recognize yourselves in this kind of blatant mob mentality? Issler has a point of view different from yours, he is not armed and dangerous and attacking your family. Your responses are completely overblown and serve to nullify anything else you have to say.
You represent a reprehensible gangland style approach to decision making and power sharing. Your posts indicate that if you can shred a person’s identity by ripping the throat out of him as if he were prey then you are somehow better proven by your prehistoric notions of dominance.
You have proven you have a complete lack of decency, no higher level thinking skills, and have demonstrated your inability to accept the complex evolution of social system democracy where each person is weighted evenly with one vote because otherwise the meanest would dominate.
You continue to try to abuse our island Democracy claiming you are the victim of its abuse. Foster points out that CARES lawyer already pointed out the legal insufficiency for pursuing a referendum and yet, here you are claiming the city is at fault for the inevitable denial for a referendum. This is complete abuse of our cherished city. All of your efforts have been complete failures because there was not an iota of reasonableness in any of it. We have tolerated your beastly behavior because in our democracy any fool can say any fool thing that comes into his head under the first amendment. That doesn’t mean you are right.
I am ashamed of your behavior.
I honor Ed Issler and others who have tried to stand up to you.
I suggest to Ed Issler that he refrain from posting anymore too. You guys win…you can have the Marconews.com (but not our city). Ed Bania will be so proud. As will the editorial management and the GM of this newspaper. This type of forum has succumbed completely to accepting diatribes attacking individuals and is beneath contempt.
I leave you now to yourselves. Enjoy each other.

Mr. Hall, First of all, you exagerated your claims that the beaches were closed due to a sewer leak in Fort Myers. That was not supported by the EPA or any other monitoring agency. It was an offhand comment of a resident. Secondly, we are not installing sewers that are susceptable to floods. Please stop acting so authoritatively when you do not have the facts.

Other communities have created special taxing districts which serve as seawall repair and replacement insurance. Only property owners with seawalls are included in the special taxing district. As an integral part of this program is seawall maintenance through monitoring. Economies of scale can be realized in purchasing gravel and contracting ongoing seawall repair.
We have more miles of seawall than we do of streets. It is completely rational to consider handling this issue as a community rather than individually.
Seawalls were built around the island over a period of time as the island was developed. We can create a replacement program on a schedule spanning a decade or more and base the rate of taxation in the special district according to the replacement schedule or as needed or predicted to be needed. Each property owner will ultimately pay less to replace their seawall than if they did not participate in the special district.
Florida State Statutes have provisions for creating special districts and one method of reaching consensus is by referendum with a majority of those in the district voting to support it.
