During the June 17th City Council meeting, it was discussed to have the council pass a resolution advising citizens how to vote on Amendment 4. This is a personal decision in which our non-partisan local government should not interfere. However, Amendment 5, which directly affects the tax income for our city, will also be on the ballot in November. If Amendment 5 is passed the tax revenue received by Marco Island will decrease significantly. This means a reduction in services our city can provide. As a candidate for Marco Island City Council who has signed the pledge not to raise taxes, how we all vote on Amendment 5 will impact the residents of Marco Island in a far greater way. I believe the current City Council should educate the public on which services would be cut if Amendment 5 passes rather than wasting their time talking about Amendment 4, which is a personal choice.
