Great News for Marco Island

We are entreated to the wonderful news that a man of character, honesty, and unwavering convictions has decided to run for city council in the next election. For those of us aghast at the present governance’s gaucheness, we anxiously await the opportunity to vote.

Citizen Joe Batte has declared his candidacy. Mr. Batte is the man of impeccable character, honesty and unwavering convictions that this island’s governing bodies sorely need. With his integrity, leadership and the desire to do what is right for the community, Mr. Batte is a godsend whose efforts can’t come soon enough.

We salute Mr. Batte for wanting to help our community and thereby for being willing to inherit a modicum of good that has been prostituted by a regime permeated with a pronounced degree of hate, immorality and pseudo-intellectualism.

Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra wrote for the ever righteous Don Quixote de la Mancha, "Neither fraud, nor deceit, nor malice had yet interfered with truth and plain dealing". Such will be the approach by Councilman Batte.

We know that he will take on this awesome challenge with great intrepidity. And therefore greatly appreciate, applaud and support his quest.
