BILL'S POLITICAL WISDOM & RECOMMENDATIONS!!
BILL'S THREE CENT'S!!   GUTTER POLITICS HAS COME TO MARCO!!
        Don't be duped by those seeking to be power brokers!!!
1 cent. If folks send you   Anonymous   SPAM E-mails, throw them away!!
2 cent. If strangers send you SPAM E-mails trash them also.
    (same people who sent you  anonymous  e-mails that were shut down by providers (AOL, Gmail, etc) for SPAMMING  you anonymously ). 
3. cent. If anyone claims to be long time Marco folks &  denigrates other Marcoites that have served our community for years--TRASH their e-mails!
Deceit, lies, fake complaints, bending the facts to get elected --is now the norm on Marco!   SHAME ON THOSE SEEKING POLITICAL POWER!!
QUESTION:  How has the last two years of the "political  slate" that was elected--worked out for you and our paradise?  Dysfunctional, if not
corrupt,  council members (Vote of NO Confidence of Chairman), City manager debacle, employee  dissatisfaction and a Permitting Dept. in chaos!
I AM VOTING FOR TWO (2) CANDIDATES NOT PLAYING GUTTER POLITICS
that have served our community well and have brilliant credentials!
  "I AM ONLY VOTING FOR DR. JERRY SWIACKI AND JIM RICHARDS!"
