Where opinions, views and insights about Marco Island Florida are shared!
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.

I just love it! Quality Enterprises and the City get to "certify" themselves simply by stating that they were not bad boys (cf Paragraph 17). The EPA then agrees to affirm that they were not bad boys because they said they weren't and fines Quality 87 grand just for laughs.
Although neither the City nor Quality admit to any violations - the normal boilerplate BS - if anyone had bothered to check Bill Utsler's deposition (taken in relationship to the C.A.R.E.S., Inc. Clean Air suit brought in Federal Court that started the whole investigation) they will find that Mr. Utsler (QE's foreman on the scene) swore under oath that QE did not have anyone on site who was certified to handle asbestos. That is one of the charges so QE had already admitted guilt in 2006 when the depositions were taken and arguably should have been fined $37,500 a day from then until now.
Note that the EPA reserves the right to bring new charges if new evidence arises. Maybe someone will finally read those depositions!

unfortunately you are correct. this is the better-than-nothing resolution which pushes into oblivion the inhumane character immoral acts of ALL the councilors during that time. they knew, you, i, butch, roger and others (not publicly) alerted the council but yet they refused to act as anyone with an ounce of moral fiber would have. this is the sewage (pun intended) nature of the popoff disciullo trotter tucker minozzi and yes even kiester. let time and their maker deal with them justly.
for the island, no one cares, and this agreement is merely the epitaph on the marker to where morality in america is buried.

Lets look at what this little episode cost the taxpayers. Clean up costs the city paid to AMRC ($83,634), Lewis Longman & Walker, (over $200,000), plus who knows what else we paid for. We probably paid three times more than Quality did in fines for causing this mess.
