Remember how you feel at election time
To the editor:
As a resident of Cape Coral since 1982 and I can’t recall a time in our history where so much rides on so little experience
An independent investigation was initiated by the city manager. This was after a TV news station did a multi-evening expose on city employees “taking two hour lunches and driving beyond permitted city limits.”
Two months after the employees were cleared of any wrongdoing, the report was released to the media.
The results fully cleared the employees of any wrong doing and even seemingly supported the purchase of one rake as a good return on investment for the use of taxpayer dollars.
What do you think about money and time being spent chasing down two employees who only went 129 feet beyond a city limit to eat during an hour lunch? How do you feel about an investigation into one rake purchase? How do you feel that a seated council person stated his reason to run for reelection was because city employees were wasting taxpayer dollars by eating lunch at Popeye Restaurants? How do you feel that when asked after the exoneration report was released to the public, he still thinks the city employees are not telling the truth? How do you feel about the fact the city employees were fully exonerated-meaning no wrong doing whatsoever occurred and yet city council members seemingly disregard the investigative report?
Remember how you feel about these questions in September and in November, and vote accordingly.
