Whiplash from the Mayor and the Commission
It Is Time to Take Back Our City

The revelations in the newspapers and on this website PeopleAreAsking.org are giving most people in our city whiplash. We have sunk our time and money as well as blood sweat and tears into making KCB the GEM of the Florida Keys. This is the thanks we get.

• One scandal after another being aired in the Keys Weekly, the Free Press and the Citizen. Thank goodness that they have picked up the stories of the screwed-up ways Key Colony Beach has been governed for the past several years.
• Request after request to the commission goes unfulfilled as they appear to continue to act in secrecy (even from some of your own commissioners) skirting Florida's Sunshine Laws under the direction of Dirk Smits and Dave Turner.
• A majority of the voters in KCB want you to cease and desist on railroading through the Taj M-KCB project without bidding on refurbishing the existing Marble Hall, Post Office, and city government building.
• No one who attended the sham of a bid evaluation meeting on June 5, believes that those bids were thoroughly evaluated or that either of those contractors were examined in enough depth to be granted the job of constructing anything in KCB.
• The city staff is growing like topsy and not in a positive way. The city commission has vacated its responsibilities in favor of allowing unelected officials including the city attorney and city administrator to govern the city.

It is time to take our city back and elect commissioners who represent the will of the citizens of KCB.
