A View To The Cape

Stumbled across these postings on Craigslist...

To Our Elected Officials...
We got to put pressure on our elected officials. We helped build this town and instead of our “elected officials” helping us attract business with incentives and other ideas to create more jobs...

they only came up with ways to increase our cost of living our tag fees by 100% they over charge us with water taxes and fees ($35,000 for city water for my house because it is a corner lot?)…..

We are the fools that stayed behind hoping things would change but the only thing we stayed behind for is to see our home go on the rocket docket and lost forever then being sold to some northerner for less than half of what is worth...

I can list twenty other examples of how you have failed us but one good thing you did well was push the people that lived here out, it’s only a matter of time before you screw your new rats that took our homes also. Thanks.

And someones reply to the above!!! RE: To Our Elected Officials (Cape Coma)
Cape Coral has been an absolute mess for 30 years. That is why it is the land of newly weds and nearly deads and NO trees.

Your city council consists of people that are way too old to have clue about what it takes to run a city and the young ones (Rosato and Grill) are thieves.

You chose to live there...Deal with it!! 10 minutes worth of research online would have told you that.

As someone who lives at the other end of the county all I can say is stop whining or move.

The Nattering One muses... Ouch! I thought these were supposed to be job postings, not open mike night at the city council.

Is this a barometer of peoples agitation levels. And how. The current administration is getting its feet wet. The learning curve involves being bombarded by insiders.

Most of whom are crackpots and/or backstabbers ready to throw momma from the train, just to avenge some perceived grievance.

In regards to the situation at hand, its easy to throw rocks from the outside, now nestled inside, you become painfully aware of certain realities.

Said realities heretofore unbeknown st, suddenly make mountains out of what seemed mere molehills.

Most of the insiders are not only clueless, but vision less as well, only being able to plan into the future as far as their next budget.

Which they manage to spend every single dime of, and more. Being rewarded for saving money is not in the "conditioned to spend" public servant's vernacular.

This makes sifting through the pile of humanity amidst the mountain peaks a herculean task.

So far, some progress has been made. During the holiday hiatus, the Mayor and Co. need to start separating the wheat from the chaff, AKA...

Identifying clueful insiders with a vision and a sense able plan, then assembling the core of a task force to be headed by a new city manager.

Cm on guys, quit being gun shy and put the wheels of change into motion. Now, that's what I'm talking about.
