Re-Elect Brechnitz and Folley to City Council

The residents of Marco Island are fortunate to have two outstanding business professionals leading our City Council. Chairman Erik Brechnitz built a financial investment firm from inception, while Greg Folley served as Chief HR Officer and lead negotiator for Caterpillar Inc. In an environment where political hype often overshadows real accomplishment, it is important voters reflect on the following benefits they enjoy arising from the outstanding stewardship of these two leaders collaborating with their Council colleagues: 

Addressed Fire and Police pension benefits that wildly exceeded the marketplace while improving Fire and Police personnel wages and retention. These agreements provide sustainable pension benefits and highly competitive wages that assure Marco Island remains one of the safest places to live in Florida and the entire country.

Maintained City tax bills flat for six years, amid rising property values, saving each homeowner thousands, while ensuring City government remains small, yet effective.

Overseeing the largest capital projects in City history, the fire station rebuild and Veterans Community Park, that are on budget.

Aided the City in achieving a ‘AAA’ credit rating by Fitch Ratings rating agency through consistent, prudent financial management. Few cities in the country, let alone Florida, attain credit ratings as strong as Marco Island’s.

These results occur through strong, fiscally conservative leadership, with Brechnitz and Folley at the forefront. We need their continued representation on Marco Island City Council.
