John Sullivan for mayor
To the editor:
Who is your choice for mayor of Cape Coral? Will you be able to vote for this person? Absolutely not!
Due to budget restraints, Cape Coral City Council will appoint a new mayor on Nov. 17. Isn’t it a shame that the city has no money for a special election, yet has plenty for other projects? How important is the mayor’s job? It must really be important, since about 28 residents, including three council members have applied for the position. Does it pay much? Absolutely not. Is it an ego trip? Power? How about being a public servant?
If I were on the council, I would recommend John Sullivan. John is a retired person who is not a politician, and represents no special interest groups. He has the time, ambition and a strong desire to make Cape Coral a better place to live for all of us. He strongly believe in taxation with representation. He not only listens to your concerns, but also feels your pain, and is willing and able to fight in your corner. Besides being trustworthy, honest, reliable, compassionate, determined, hard working, outspoken yet humble. John is very well educated, conservative and detail oriented. This conscientious, hard-working man has spent many, many long hours, not to mention his own money, trying to cut the fat from city government, thus ending the run-a-way spending.
John Sullivan was instrumental in saving us, the taxpayers $110 million by opposing the public safety building, not because it wasn’t needed, but because of the heavy price tag and increase in our taxes. He also helped many of us by speaking against the high prices of the utility expansion.
You can find John Sullivan at all city council meetings, on Monday nights, speaking on our behalf, keeping council members on their toes.
As you can see, this man is not only ambitious, but he is driven to do the right things for you and me, the residents of Cape Coral.
John Sullivan has earned the respect and trust of many residents of Cape Coral. He means what he says and says what he means. For all of his hard work, honesty and dedication, John Sullivan deserves to be Cape Coral’s next mayor.
