I'm saddened at the ugliness of this election. Stephen Gray and Tamara Goehler, two candidates who genuinely care about Marco Island, are being unfairly painted as radical big-government types, which couldn't be further from the truth. They’re fiscally conservative, committed to keeping taxes low, and focused on protecting the small-town feel we all love.
These dishonest attacks are clearly driven by Gray and Goehler's stance on introducing common-sense regulations for short-term rentals (STRs). The smear campaign is being pushed by a small group of STR owners with the most code violations. If I could share the data here, you’d see for yourself that a handful of bad actors are responsible for both the majority of STR problems and the lies being spread.
The city code has 12,593 words in its ordinance about signs. It has ZERO words addressing STRs, yet STR problems have literally caused some residents so much grief that they sold their homes and moved off the island. That’s just crazy. I’m not for big government; I’m for just enough rules to protect our quality of life from bad actors who don’t care who pays for it as long as their wallets are fat.
To learn THE TRUTH about Gray-Goehler’s vision for keeping this place a great place to live, just visit their website: MarcoIsland2024Election.com.
If you want a City Council that listens to the residents, promotes peaceful neighborhoods, and preserves what makes Marco special, please stand with me in supporting Stephen Gray and Tamara Goehler.
