An Open Letter tothe Citizens of Cutler Bay
fromSteveZarzecki,acitizenofCutlerBay
FriendsandNeighbors,
We are indeed blessed to live in
acountrywherewearefreeto
formourownpersonalopinions
-andtofreelyexpressthem
underprotectionoftheFirst
Amendment ofthe Constitution.
Ihavebeenaskedmanytimes
duringthiselectioncyclewho
Iamgoingtovoteforand why.
Ihaverefrainedfrommaking
a decision until after the
CutlerBayCandidateForums.
Unfortunately,onlyone
mayoralcandidatewaswilling
toparticipateintheforums.
Art Nanni attended the forums,
answeredquestionsfromthe
voters,stated his vision forthe
Town,discussed concernsand
issues,and outlined hissolutions
for those concerns.Mr.Nanni
expresseddisappointment
thathewasunabletoopenly
debatehisno-showopponent,
PeggyBell,regardingher
record.It seems she did not
want to talk about her record.
And I understand that -itisa
dismallitanyof sponsoring and
votingfor resident-unfriendly
ordinances.
Mr.Nanni's opponenthas
insteadchosentoruna campaign
isolated from the voters.She is
usingadsandbrochureswith
thesameoldpoliticalone-liners
and sound bites -no substance
and no solutions.
Mr.Nannihasalonghistory
of publicservicehereinCutler
Bay,hasreachedouttoand
engagedtheresidents,andhas
demonstrated his willingness
tolistentoandrepresentallthe
citizens of CutlerBay.
FromwhatIhaveseen,thisis
notthecasewithhisopponent.
Sheisintolerantofanyone
whodoesnotagreewith
her,andonlylistenstothose
whosaywhatshewantsto
hear.She attacks those who
disagreewithher.AsIsee
it,ifelected,she will govern
asanoligarchic"ruler"
favoringthosewhosupport
her(includingalobbyist
whoservesashercampaign
"consultant")rather thanserve
asanelectedrepresentativefor
allthecitizensofCutlerBay.
Ipreferarepresentativeofand
for all the citizens.
I will vote for Art Nanni for
MayorofCutlerBay.
In the race for Council Seat
One,Ed Wolmers hasalong
history of civicinvolvement
andservicetoour community.
His opponent,theincumbent,
doesnot,isa"no-show",and
isa "me-too"on the Council.
For4yearsSeatOnehasbeen
effectively anemptychair,
deprivingthecitizensofafifth
independent,communicative,
andintelligentcouncilmember.
It'stimetochangethat.
I will vote for Ed Wolmers for
Council Seat One.
