That's what you get when you try to steal
stuff....This county deserves everything that's going to happen to it.....Me and
George Wilson of Prudential Key side real estate went to 4 years of Tier
meetings and told the commissioners that this was sure to happen.....They
laughed at us.
This is the type of Flashlight you will all
have to carry if you voters continue to elect the ass holes you're use to
electing
As it's lead story, this morning's Florida
Keys Keynoter announced that Monroe County's
nincompoops-who-think-they're-in-charge (particularly newbie County
Administrator Gastesi) are planning to tell Florida's Governor Christ and the
other three "Cabinet" officials that the solution to the Florida
Keys' land acquisition mess is to get Congress to designate the Keys a
"national park." That, they surmise, would bring $1.2 billion to buy
up all the Tier I and II land in these regulation-abused islands.
First, the County's $1.2 billion is off by nearly an order of magnitude. This
is spelled out in the Amended Complaint we served yesterday in [Estate of] Lightner
v Monroe County and the State of Florida, a Class Action that is pending
before Judge Mark Jones in the 16th Judicial Circuit (Monroe County). Our
analysis of the State's acquisition costs -- for Tier I properties on Big Pine
and No Name Keys only -- revealed that the State acquired 204 such
parcels, between January 2006 and July 2008, paying, on average, $40,321 per
parcel (they were almost 100% "dry lots"). NOT ONE of these
parcels was acquired by Eminent Domain.
Therein lies the problem. In eminent domain proceedings, a landowner has the
right to raise the debilitating effect of Condemnation Blight -- which was the
reason the West and Richardson plaintiffs in May of this
year (2008) were able to recover nearly 10 times what the State was
"offering" to purchase their moratorium-affected North Key Largo
lands.
In an analysis carried out by real estate appraiser extraordinaire
Bob Gallaher for our nearly $50 million in Bert Harris Act claims filed with
Monroe County and the Governor's office this past Wednesday, Mr. Gallaher
determined the average Fair Market Value (this term-of-art
does not allow "sales to government" as evidence of Fair Market
Value) of dry lots in the Lower Keys, as of January 2008, was $240,000. That
is six times what the State paid for those 204 dry lots in the last 2.5 years.
It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that the County's $1.2 billion
figure could easily become $7.2 billion if the landowners refused to sell
"voluntarily." While it's not $700 billion -- as Treasury Secretary
Hank Paulsen is trying to extract from Congress -- $7.2 billion is not chump
change. And, I should point out, Congress is going to be so worn out from the
Wal Street debacles that it is highly unlikely Monroe County's
"leaders" are going to see $1.2 billion, much less $7.2 billion, in
this lifetime. QED.
It is time for someone to inform the owners of undeveloped land in the Florida
Keys that they should simply refuse to sell -- and should either hold out for
an eminent domain suit to be filed, or -- better yet -- just sue the County
and State in inverse condemnation.
We served 41 Bert Harris Act petitions today on Monroe County and the State
of Florida, seeking $46.7 million in compensation to the owners of 196
Florida Keys land parcels. These are only a tiny fraction of the number of
parcels adversely affected by the Keys' recently-completed land-stealing
pogrom (a/k/a "tier zoning"). Thirty-four claimants' properties
are in Tier I, which are essentially unbuildable. Seven own Tier II
property. For Tier I and II landowners to even compete
for a permit, they would be forced to spend on the order of $235,000
for 20 points (Tier I) or $117,500 for 10 points (Tier II) just to begin
with the same number of "points" a Tier III landowner starts with.
AND they must acquire all but two of those
10 or 20 points by purchasing their neighbors' Tier I lots -- at 4 points
apiece -- at the bargain basement prices the government has been paying.
If this is not held unconstitutional -- and we will revisit that as each
lawsuit is served -- I will eat my favorite hiking hat.
We strongly recommend Tier I, II,
and III-A landowners refuse to sell
their land at less than the Fair Market Value it would have if it had a
building permit -- and flatly refuse to
sell to any government agency. The purpose of the Tier pogrom is to
force landowners to sell to government, or the other leeches (including the
Tier I and II landowners themselves), at far less than the Fair Market
Values they would receive in a Condemnation proceeding -- by invoking the
legal doctrine known as Condemnation Blight.
I have included some Fair Market Value information at the end of this post.
If nobody offers that much -- do not sell! Either force the government to
condemn, or bring your own inverse condemnation action. Either way, the
government pays your costs, attorneys fees, and interest.
In May of this year, an Upper Keys jury awarded over $5 million to our
clients, the West and Freeman families, four years (for which they will get
another 10% interest/yr) after the State acquired their 20+ acres on North
Key Largo for $550,000 in a "quick-take". (See my May 22, 2008
post). Just as in today's pogrom, the West-Freeman property was infected
with Condemnation Blight building moratoria -- which allowed us to have the
Judge instruct the jury to value the property as
if the moratoria never existed. There is a more substantial analysis
of Condemnation Blight on my website -- http://MattsonLaw.com.
As it is now public record, I will share with you our appraiser's Fair
Market Value analysis that we provided the County and State in several of
the Bert Harris Act petitions. These are January 1, 2008,
"generic" Fair Market Values -- that need to be adjusted if
special conditions exist, such as too little lot area or the need to pay
mitigation in order to place fill in a wetland -- for Upper and Lower Keys residential
lots only.
Lower Keys Lots: Dry $240,000; Canal $320,000; Open Water $520,000
Upper Keys Lots: Dry $170,000; Canal $405,000; Open Water $610,000
Grand
Theft: Property
County Sued for 47 million in Bert Harris Act Takings
Today 41 Bert Harris Act
taking petitions were sent to the Governor's office and the Monroe County
Administrator, alleging a substantial diminution in Keys properties' values as a
result of the County's new "tier system." The 41 claims total
just under $47 million for 196.5 lots.
Local
governments have to report these claims to their insurers, and a host of claims
can adversely affect their ability to issue bonds to raise money (other than the
kind that are based on a revenue stream – such as
sewer bonds).
In
this financial climate, a few hundreds of millions of dollars in claims could
pretty well eliminate
Monroe
County
’s power to borrow money. (Maybe they can live within their ever-declining tax
revenues.)
Gutierrez
is a plaintiffs in one of the 41 claims
Gutierrez hopes that this action will be the
beginning
of some sort of justice to the over 8000 disenfranchised vacant property owners of the
Florida Keys....

Pleas of Keys business owners and homeowners
economic doldrums lands on BOCC's deaf ears
Many business
representatives and heads of local commerce chambers warn the five members of
the Monroe County Commissioners that the Florida Keys can not afford their latest
attempt to transfer the tax burden to the commercial side of the tax
equation. Both Jackie Harder and Virginia Panico warned the commission
that businesses are starting to close their doors. One business owner said his
taxes increased to $65,000 a year, a $7,000.00 increase.
It appeared that the commission
was unconcerned.
Neugent, Murphy still hesitant to sewer No Name
Key.....
In 2002, the Florida Keys village of Islamorada enacted a land use ordinance
that prohibited "formula
restaurants" [read "Starbucks"] and limited the frontage and
square footage of "formula retail" establishments [read "Walgreens"]
-- so that no national chain business could operate in the "quaint
little village" [or so the Council thought]. In 2002, Glenn and
Virginia Saiger, owners of Island Silver & Spice -- an
"independent" retailer -- had a contract to sell their store to a
developer that planned to build -- Ohmigosh! -- a Walgreens! In Islamorada!
(Islamorada already had a CVS drugstore....) Absolutely Not! Said the sage
village Council. Not in our fair village! Never! The Saigers sued in U.S.
District Court.
In 2005, Joseph Cachia received an offer to buy his existing retail store --
also independent -- from a corporation that wanted to build a Starbucks in
Islamorada. Oh, my! Not a Starbucks! Said the village Council, essentially
telling Mr. Cachia to pound sand. Mr. Cachia also sued in U.S. District
Court.
Mr. Cachia, unluckily, drew U.S. District Judge Michael Moore (of the FEMA
list, for those who own undeveloped Keys land), who bounced Mr. Cachia out
of court on a motion to dismiss. Judge Moore held that, as a matter of law,
the ordinance was supported by a legitimate state interest. The Saigers, on
the other hand, drew Senior (formerly Chief) Judge James Lawrence King --
for whom the Miami federal courthouse is named. Judge King came to the
opposite conclusion, writing one of the funnier opinions of his career, and
held that Islamorada had violated the United States Constitution's
"Dormant Commerce Clause." In his opinion, Judge King observed the
village of Islamorada had no "small town community" interest to
protect.
Mr. Cachia appealed Judge Moore's dismissal, and Islamorada appealed Judge
King's decision in favor of the Saigers. The appeals went to the 11th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals, in Atlanta, where they were consolidated for oral
argument before Circuit Judges Tjoflat and Black, and a visiting judge,
Judge Restani. Oral argument was on June 3, 2008. Both appeals were decided
two days ago, September 8, 2008.
The 11th Circuit panel affirmed Judge King's decision in Island
Silver & Spice v. Islamorada, while reversing Judge Moore's
decision in Cachia v. Islamorada.
The Island Silver & Spice opinion can be read and downloaded on the 11th
Circuit's website here,
and the Cachia opinion here.
$$$, anyone? Judge King awarded substantial money damages, plus attorneys'
fees, against Islamorada, and the 11th Circuit awarded additional attorneys'
fees to both Island Silver & Spice and Mr. Cachia. Mr. Cachia's case
will now be returned to Judge Moore for a trial on damages. We can be
certain that Islamorada will be handing over sums well in excess of $1
million -- all of which will come from the village taxpayer's wallets!
(Maybe they'll start thinking about their wallets when election time rolls
around.)
All in all, a splendid job well done. Congratulations are due to local
counsel John Jabro; to Jim Hendrick for taking off his government hat long
enough to support these landowners; and to Joel Perwin, appellate counsel
for both landowners
Monday,
September 8, 2008
It
is 7:00 AM Monday, September 8, 2008 and Ike is battering Cuba. The National
Hurricane Center's projected path takes Ike across Cuba today and then up into
the Gulf of Mexico. (See the model suite at left.) The closest approach Ike is
projected to make - according to the NHC's 5:00 AM forecast - to
"downtown" Key Largo is 192 miles, while about 86 miles SE of Havana,
at about 2:00 AM Wednesday. The Florida Keys are now at Tropical Storm Warning
status, and Accuweather.com is predicting tropical storm force winds (39 mph)
will affect Key Largo starting about 4:00 PM today from the ENE, peaking at 46
mph between 4:00 and 6:00 PM today -- with gusts to 69 mph. Accuweather.com
predicts continuing tropical storm force winds to continue, gusting into the
50's and 60's (mph), until Tuesday afternoon, dropping below 39 mph, from the
East, by 6:00 PM Tuesday. The Accuweather forecast for Key West is about the
same as that for Key Largo, with slightly higher winds and hanging around into
Wednesday morning.
These conditions were also predicted 24 hours ago, when Monroe County
"re-evaluated" its 100% evacuation "order" for the Keys --
and decided to keep the "order" in effect despite knowing that the
Florida Keys would not experience hurricane conditions when Ike passes by. We
are supposed to have adequate shelters for Category 1 and 2 storms. Because it
is difficult to get everyone out of the Keys -- and the more Cry Wolf
evacuations that occur the fewer people will evacuate the next time --
evacuation should not be attempted unless there is a threat of at least a
Category 3 storm. That threat did not exist. As I have said over and over again
since 1992, these islands need Category 4-5 hurricane shelters.
For us, we've prepared two 2 lb "hurricane meatloafs" (a/k/a American
pate) just in case, and have a week's supply of propane to run our generator.
Evacuation was unnecessary.
The
Google Earth graphic at left shows the Nat'l Hurricane Center's 11AM
Saturday, September 6, 2008 forecast path of Tropical Cyclone Ike. This
forecast shows Ike passing well west of Key West, in 4 days -- as a Category
One. The Florida Keys' "emergency management" director, Irene
Toner, prematurely "ordered" a total evacuation of the Keys with
nothing but a five-day forecast that had its "center
line" going through Marathon. The forecast at the time was NOT
to suggest Ike was going to hit Marathon dead-on. It was intended to show
the storm was likely to come within 300 miles of Marathon! (I have always
been relieved to see Key Largo smack on the center line at the 3, 4, or
5-day position -- because that almost guarantees the storm will NOT hit Key
Largo dead-on.)
I thought we had all learned the lesson not to "focus on the line"
after Charlie plowed into Punta Gorda mouth four years ago -- when "the
line" showed it going into Tampa. The National Hurricane Center spent
months trying to educate "television meteorologists" and local
emergency management officials to look at the whole picture -- particularly
the error bars that come with every forecast position. In this case, the NHC
forecasters made the point very clear in every forecast, that the 4- and
5-day forecasts have "greater than usual" errors. If our local
"experts" had looked at the model spread before crying
"Wolf," they would have seen that the models utilized by the NHC
were all over the place, and the storm could be in Jacksonville or Cozumel
rather than in Marathon on Day 5.
The "Cry Wolf" syndrome has been seen before; the most egregious
example being Hurricane Andrew in 1992,
when Monroe County "ordered" the evacuation of the Middle and
Upper Keys at 6AM on Sunday -- for a storm that made landfall only 23 hours
later. Only 61% of Upper Keys residents evacuated to the mainland before
Andrew, compared to the County’s predicted 87%. Only 43% evacuated the
Middle Keys, compared to the predicted 73%. 30% of those who did evacuate,
did so before the evacuation "order" was announced. Of those who
did evacuate, 27% only went as far as Dade County, where the storm actually
made landfall.
If the County could make the mistaken call it made in Andrew, only 1 day
from landfall, what -- pray tell -- made Irene Toner think she could get it
right 5 days before a somewhat possible landfall? The Florida Keys are
islands -- just in case you didn't know -- like Puerto Rico and the Hawaiian
Islands. Island communities need hurricane shelters. the Florida Keys need
hurricane shelters.
The sole reason we do not have hurricane shelters is a political one -- not
an engineering one. The majority of Florida Keys voters -- homevoters
primarily -- want to prevent the Keys' population from increasing. That
majority elects the County Commission, which in turn does the homevoters'
bidding -- and has refused since 1993 to build hurricane shelters (except
for their own office building in Marathon, which will not withstand a
Category Five hit).
Putting the homevoters in the same political camp as the tree-huggers -- and
the last five Governors and the DCA -- puts the lives of Keys' residents at
risk every hurricane season. There is no doubt that this group of
anti-growth factions would dearly love a repeat of the 1935 hurricane, and
at least a few dozen deaths (maybe not hundreds), to prove that people
should not live in the Florida Keys!
Ike
could mirror Donna's path in the 60's
Pines & Palms
Inn after the Hurricane Donna blew through Islamorada. (Florida
State Archives )
Hurricane
Donna 1960 One
of the all-time great hurricanes, Donna was first detected as a tropical wave
moving off the African coast on August 29. It became a tropical storm over the
tropical Atlantic the next day and a hurricane on September 1. Donna followed a
general west-northwestward track for the following five days, passing over the
northern Leeward Islands on the 4th and 5th as a Category 4 hurricane and then
to the north of Puerto Rico later on the 5th. Donna turned westward on September
7 and passed through the southeastern Bahamas. A northwestward turn on the 9th
brought the hurricane to the middle Florida Keys the next day at Category 4
intensity. Donna then curved northeastward, crossing the Florida Peninsula on
September 11, followed by eastern North Carolina (Category 3) on the 12th, and
the New England states (Category 3 on Long Island and Categories 1 to 2
elsewhere) on the 12th and 13th. The storm became extratropical over eastern
Canada on the 13th.
Donna is the only
hurricane of record to produce hurricane-force winds in Florida, the
Mid-Atlantic states, and New England. Sombrero Key, Florida reported 128 mph
sustained winds with gusts to 150 mph. In the Mid-Atlantic states, Elizabeth
City, North Carolina reported 83 mph sustained winds, while Manteo, North
Carolina reported a 120 mph gust. In New England, Block Island, Rhode Island
reported 95 mph sustained winds with gusts to 130 mph.
Donna caused
storm surges of up to 13 ft in the Florida Keys and 11 ft surges along the
southwest coast of Florida. Four to eight ft surges were reported along portions
of the North Carolina coast, with 5 to 10 ft surges along portions of the New
England coast. Heavy rainfalls of 10 to 15 inches occurred in Puerto Rico, 6 to
12 inches in Florida, and 4 to 8 inches elsewhere along the path of the
hurricane.
The landfall
pressure of 27.46 inches makes Donna the fifth strongest hurricane of record to
hit the United States. It was responsible for 50 deaths in the United States.
One hundred and fourteen deaths were reported from the Leeward Islands to the
Bahamas, including 107 in Puerto Rico caused by flooding from the heavy rains.
The hurricane caused $387 million in damage in the United States and $13 million
elsewhere along its path

Pine Key post
Sal,
you knew the properties you purchased were non buildable when you acquired
them and the low price you paid reflected that. Then you tried to sell
these non buildable lots to the County for an exorbitant price. Please
stop whining and get on with your race against Sylvia. May the best person win!
You know
these same people, which Sylvia knows, but they will speak to Sylvia on the
phone unlike you, whose calls have been blocked by the County. Please brush up
on your speech at the next candidate forums. I was embarrassed for you at the
last forum when you spoke. Go take a happy pill and stop being so
vindictive and nasty. Go play with your website so some of your
vindictiveness and nasty can play out there. sonnyboy1234@hotmail.com
I
don't call Sylvia because she's useless. If I want to get some help I call Mario
just like a lot of other folks in the Upper Keys. As far a my Lots they're
all buildable and it was the state and not the county that approached me
for the purchase of these lots. Someone called the state to queer the deal
(Kay Thacker and George Neugent) and now there will be a giant lawsuit to follow
that will end up costing the county much more in the end. Sorry these
assholes (above) have cost the county millions with there stupid ways. We will

It looks like Heather Carruthers
running for office is the new topic of the day and I believe it is one that
needs to be addressed. The write up today saying how the owner of Island
House or Teasers shouldn't hold office hit the nail right on the head. I
have been to Pearl's several times when my sister, who is gay, comes to town.
She stays there regularly. I have spent the night there with her once when
drinking and didn't want to drive. It is a beautiful and well run guest
house. Heather looks right at home pulling up in that Black T-Bird with
the top down. Now for my point since it wasn't to advertise Pearl's.
I fully agree
that anyone who operates a place of business that discriminates against anyone
could not fairly govern our county. My opinion has nothing to do with her
sexual preference as a poster suggested. I don't want to have sex with her
I want a good county commissioner to put our county together and I don't
think a person who discriminates against anyone is the person for the job.
Places like Pearl's, Island House, Teasers, Club Zu, Fairvilla and 801
Bourbon all have their place in the community but not in government.
Jessie Jackson tried to run for President and lost because he discriminated
against white people just like David Duke discriminated against black people.
If Heather wants to do her part for the community she should run The Business
Guild or The Tourist Development Counsel but I can't support her to hold a
position of government that will effect my brother, father or husband. If
they wouldn't be allowed to spend a night at her guest house she shouldn't be
allowed to govern a county supported by their tax dollars. Men and
women pay equal taxes to pay for the BOCC so men and women should be equally
represented. Electing someone who's business refuses to do business with males
is not the way to represent them. We would be replacing the bubba system
with a lesbian favoritism system.
Heather, I wish you the very best in your business and hope
it continues to be the beautiful and much needed piece of Key West as it has
been but I hope you do not win a seat on the BOCC. ~debbieplunket@gmail.com

For the safety of
the people of
New Orleans
, officials started evacuating
72 in
hours in advance of hurricane Gustav! This makes perfect sense as a killer
hurricane approaches.
But what is amazing
about this is, it brings to light what a double standard there is compared to
the Florida Keys in regards to hurricane management, evacuation and property
rights.Obviously, there is no
standard imposed by the State of
Louisiana
that
New Orleans
must be evacuated in 24 hours, and if this standard is not met all development
and building will stop.
The 24-hour
hurricane evacuation standard imposed in the
Florida Keys
is unconstitutional & illegal, it is just an excuse to prevent building,
development and redevelopment and steal people's land.
The different
treatment by the federal, state and local government between
New Orleans
and the
Florida Keys
is amazing and illegal.
New Orleans
is below sea level but can still get FEMA flood insurance.However, in the
Florida Keys
if you have an uninsurable downstairs enclosure even
6 feet
above base flood elevation, your flood insurance will be canceled. Any
downstairs enclosure whether nonconforming or conforming is not insured by the
FEMA flood insurance if below base flood elevation.
If you are afraid
of hurricanes don't live in the
Florida Keys
. If live in the Keys and you want to be safe from hurricanes start evacuating
72 hours before hurricanes arrive.
Nowhere in the
Constitution does it say the government can take your property rights away from
you because you may be subject to a natural disaster and can't evacuate in 24
hours. Tens of thousands of people will probably die in
San Francisco
when the big one comes and no one can evacuate 24 hours because they don't get
24-hour notice of a big earthquake approaching. Even so,
San Francisco
has not stopped building or development in their community.
Everyone should
hold their freedoms dearly, they should revolt against the loss of property
rights imposed by this 24 hour evacuation rule. Because what is the next right
they're going to take away from you. This
is supposed to be a free country. You
can ride your motorcycle without a helmet and take the risks that you want to
take. You could jump out of an
airplane with a parachute on. It's
obvious that imposing this 24-hour hurricane evacuation rule is not about the
safety of the people, it is about taking your property rights away from you
without compensating the you for the fair market value of the property taken.
If you want to stop this
abuse of your rights and others in the pipeline, vote for me, Sal Gutierrez

As
per your front page article on “County

(8/31/08), I noticed your reference to me indicating that I made a statement
to your newspaper you were not to contact me.As usual your paper’s known ability to manipulate facts has once
again has surfaced.About a
month ago your arrogant news reporter, Tim O’Hara, called me for and
interview.At that time I
politely asked him if he had gone to my website (Keylargokey.com) and read
the instructions for press interviews, he said yes.Then I proceeded to inform him that it said to email me at that site
with any and all questions.Mr.
O’Hara at that time failed to follow my rules.A week after this event he tried again to get a phone interview with
me and this time I was a little courser with him.Sorry Mr. Tuell and Mr. O’Hara but I’m not into your game
playing.Your paper
has an uncanny knack of taking phone interviews and twisting them around a
bit.If you wish to get an
interview with me you must do it my way……Sorry boys for the confusion
It appears Lesbian guest
home owner Heather Caruthers's bunch has started rumors about her opponent
Carlos Rojas refusing to give allegiance to the flag at certain club functions.
I'm sure her buddies in the media will soon pick up on this story an try to
smear Mr. Rojas's reputation all over the Radio (Bill Becker) and Newspaper (The
Citizen). In a phone conversation with Mr. Rojas he has stated,
" Anyone who doubts my allegiance to the United States is welcome to see me give allegiance
to the flag every Thursday night with my fellow Rotarians". Also
Heather's gang has been known to favor all candidate running for office to be
non-working upper class citizens and have homosexual values. Mr. Rojas is
a happily married heterosexual man with children and a wife that goes to PTA
meetings on a regular basis.......How refreshing
We
have notice that Heather has removed "Lesbian only" guest house from
her WebPages......Must be because of her candidacy for County Commission.
She has yet to divulge this to the Monroe county electorate and her buddies at
the Keynoter and The Citizen have hidden the fact she runs a Lesbian only
guesthouse in Key West since her announcement to run for public office.
We at KeylargoKey.com
are not anti-gay but think a candidate should not try to hide facts from the
public......

Heather Carruthers questioned/comments on her
Web Blog
Are you
tired of sending your tax money to Key West?
Are you
tired of having a County Commissioner that doesn't fight for your community?
Are you
tired of your County Commissioner, Sylvia Murphy, being more politically aligned
with the lower Keys and Key West then Key Largo?
This
County Commission election cycle was about eliminating the gang of three, but
now we are probably going to get a gang of four. This new gang of four will do
nothing to improve the business climate or economy of the Florida Keys. Their
idea of progress is to turn the clock back 20 years. They have no respect for
individual property rights. And will tax property owners on property that is
undevelopable and will not push the state into purchasing this land, essentially
stealing it from the owners.
This last
election proved that Key Largo has a different attitude than the lower Keys
about who should represent the community. Gary Bauman lost by only 34 votes in
Key Largo's five precincts. Gary won 3 out of 5 precincts, with a vote
difference of 4%,48% to 52%.
Whereas in the rest of the county Gary lost by a vote difference of 16%, 42% to
58%. So essentially the lower Keys and Key West has and will continue to choose
a County Commissioner for District 5 regardless of Key Largo's preference.
The answer
to this dilemma for District 5 is to incorporate Key Largo, so that the
community has a voice in determining its future.
In the
meantime as a protest to this present situation and to support my belief in
private property rights and to keep the government from stealing your property,
and to make your County Commissioner responsible to the needs of the community,vote for me,Sal
Guitierrez...

10 questions for Bill Becker from Tom Stump's
Mother.....Mama Rose
I'm doing a story and would like to talk to friends or business people who you'd
like to refer me to. Trying to get insight to the candidates' character
through those around them, not just from the candidates themselves. As I
mentioned on the phone, I'm not looking to trash you, Sal, as I'm asking you for
your own friends and references.
Thank you for your help.

The press has painted such a bad picture of folks that are developers in
the Keys that out of six requests for business associates of mine only three would
ever consider a request from me to voice their opinion (in the press) of my
character.......not because their response would have been negative but they
were afraid of reprisals from the government (Sylvia Murphy, the Building Dept,
other New County commission prospects....etc.) on this island
chain................Wow!!!!!!.......Sounds like Germany in the 1939 to
me................Sal Gutierrez......
I did find three.....The other three were
deleted from my cell phone.......Permanently

Sal,
you knew the properties you purchased were non buildable when you acquired
them and the low price you paid reflected that. Then you tried to sell
these non buildable lots to the County for an exorbitant price. Please
stop whining and get on with your race against Sylvia. May the best person win!
I fully agree
that anyone who operates a place of business that discriminates against anyone
could not fairly govern our county. My opinion has nothing to do with her
sexual preference as a poster suggested. I don't want to have sex with her
I want a good county commissioner to put our county together and I don't
think a person who discriminates against anyone is the person for the job.
Places like Pearl's, Island House, Teasers, Club Zu, Fairvilla and 801
Bourbon all have their place in the community but not in government.

Do you only answer questions from gay people??? About 4 or 5 days ago I ask you to comment on some property rights questions and government meeting rules…..you failed to answer the questions submitted. I think Carlos will win this contest. He has the ability to answer and defend all members of this community……not just the gays…
