The War of the Signs

On Marco Island, one wonders about all the candidate’s signs. Will the one with the most signs win? Does the sign that appears as a Short-Term-Rental House mean they support STR’s? What about signs on empty lots? Do owners know someone put a sign there? Signs are puzzling. Who pays for these signs and why?

We need to look deeper. It is not the person with the most signs who should win; it is the candidate that supports the constituents' wishes. What are our wishes? Well, one of the foremost for people in residential areas is that the rules package becomes law here. We do not want a simple, “I support the registration process.” That means nothing. For a small fee, an owner could register his house. A few simple changes here and there we will understand, a registration process, we will not.

The ST renter could live out of state, have no idea what happens at the house, a STR could be rented by one family and two or three families appear. It becomes a “party house.”

We need people that support the STR Vote from August, no conflicts of interest when voting. We need open-minded candidates, following the wishes of their constituents, not their own personal desires, or their backers. It is not the person with the best sign, or the most signs, who should win is the sign of the person who will LISTEN TO US. Vote Brechnitz, Dowell, Folley.
