What’s the rush?
To the editor:
Mayor Gunter has called a special meeting for Nov. 18 to discuss awarding a $400 million garbage contract. It is scheduled before the regular council meeting and before the new council is sworn in.
What is the emergency?
Halt all negotiations and give the incoming mayor and the new council an opportunity to make positive changes.
Why can’t this wait until the newly-elected council has had a chance to review everything?
After the unexpected termination of our city manager and questions about the bidding process, anyone who votes yes will show us what to expect, despite the change in mayor.
Residents deserve answers from council members about the timing of this conveniently scheduled meeting.
This is just one example of the problems in Cape Coral that led people to question the city’s integrity. The mayor’s actions have prompted residents and some council members to question the decision’s timing and necessity, with some suggesting it may be retaliation for not being reelected. The mayor has no ethics.
