To the editor:

Judging by the recent elections, the voters have spoken change from the Presidency all the way down to the Cape Coral City Council. “Clean house” was the word.

I hope the five new council members will take that as good faith to fulfill the promises they made in The Breeze’s “Questions of the Week.”

Promises Promises

A. Immediately rescind the illegal stipend which violates the City Charter.

Add to that promise a resolution as follows. The past and present Council members shall pay back all the illegal money that has been garnered by council members from first payment to the termination of this stipend. This includes the mayor and all council members serving on January 2024 to the termination date of this stipend.

B. Restore all voluntary committees that were banished by the mayor and city council.

Add to that promise: All the voluntary committees will revert back to the previous sitting members on the day they were dissolved.

C. Spend Go Bond money only with NO cost overruns for parks and recreation projects.

Add to that promise: A resolution be approved by City Council that will ban any money transfer from the budget to finish cost over-run projects such as the Yacht Club.

I called all the candidates elect on the phone to congratulate them, but only three chose to call me back. I hope this in not indicative that the other two candidates will forget the promises made to the voters.
