When considering who to cast your vote for in the Marco Island City Council race, I urge my fellow citizens to look at the contributions (or lack thereof) of the people that want to lead this city. You have four votes to consider.
On one hand, you have Rich Blonna, Becky Irwin, Deb Henry and Bonita Schwan. Each one of them has served the city for years, has experience with our city in committees and service organizations, and has volunteered countless hours for our charities. Each of them has a heart for service and donates their time and energy to improve our city and care for our citizens.
You simply can’t say the same about the remaining two candidates, in recent video interviews with the Coastal Breeze News, Tamara Goehler and Steven Gray. Goehler recently criticized Marco Island’s hard-working and dedicated volunteer citizen committees, claiming they lack qualifications, yet she never served or volunteered herself for any local committees or non-profits. She has made no positive contributions to our Island during her time here.
Goehler’s “running mate”, Stephen Gray also took a swipe at our current volunteer citizen committees and suggested that they aren't passionate enough, yet he has never volunteered or served himself. When questioned on why he has a lack of volunteer work, Gray claimed that he hasn’t found a cause or charity that appealed to him. Definitely a slap in the face to the many worthy organizations on the island.
Goehler and Gray offer nothing but complaints about our city and insults to our volunteers and will not be getting my vote.
