One Person with Morals ...

To: City Council Monday, September 15, 2008

Reference: Electric Municipalization Committee (Attached e-mails.)

After reading several e-mails between the City Staff, City Council members and an ex-City Councilor, I have some serious concerns that members of the City Staff, City Council and the ex-City Councilor, are perpetrating a fraud on this committee and this community.

The attached e-mails clearly show that the purpose to study the feasibility of taking over the electric company (LCEC) is to leverage LCEC to:

Reduce the costs of “under grounding”
Eliminate the 5% franchise fee at LCEC’s expense.
Get preferential treatment on rates.
Other concessions from LCEC

If the purpose of the committee is to be a “hammer” for the City to bring LCEC to their knees to meet these objectives it is unprofessional, to say the least, if not illegal .

I personally do not want to be party to anything that has the appearance of impropriety and I hereby resign from the committee.

Electric Study Committee Member

The Marco Island Blog strongly supports the cityhood of Marco Island, having its own police, fire and emergency services, its own public works, its community and park initiatives, having its own government and much much more.

This blog is an OPEN forum. Not one comment is moderated, all postings are welcomed, all submissions have been posted.

Progress and consensus are derived solely from communicating with those that don't agree with you. It comes by putting out your ideas and opinions for everyone to see and thereby making them available to be contradicted, criticized and condemned. Let the ideas and opinions pass or fail on their own merit as adjudicated by the rigors of a populace debate.

That practice is the foundation of a successful democracy. And that is the purpose of this blog.

This blog also stands for democratic, federalist and Jeffersonian principles, is against the abuse of government, and stands for the free publications of all views.

It is the duty - the obligation - of every citizen to question, inspect and critique the actions of government. Such is one of the basic tenets of a democracy.

"I am for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents." Thomas Jefferson

As we are.
