First, I would like to apologize for those annoying ads on the discussion page. I am hoping they will be gone in the next couple of days.

We now have retained and have a signed attorney agreement with Jean Olin. She is the attorney who worked directly with Norman Braman on the exercise to Recall Mayor Carlos Alvarez.

She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the legalities of a Recall effort and has been instrumental in the development of the petition. We hope that when the petition is finalized, hopefully by the end of this week, it will be bullet proof against litigation from either Mayor Shelly Stanczyk or Joan Lindsay.

As for Vice Mayor Brian Pariser, we are working diligently to ensure he is voted out of office in November since we can’t Recall him within a year of his new term if he is re-elected. As far as Recall Palmetto Bay is concerned, the Vice Mayor is as much of an issue on the Commission as Shelly Stanczyk or Joan Lindsay. In fact, Recall Palmetto Bay feels as an attorney he should have known better when it comes too frivolous litigation.

In any event, we are moving forward slowly, but carefully, to insure that the residents of Palmetto Bay get what they deserve - a competent Mayor, Vice Mayor and Councilperson.

One other point worth mentioning, we have now formed a PAC called, RECALL PALMETTO BAY. This was primarily formed in order to receive contributions to help fund this Recall effort. Unfortunately, it takes money to clean up government and we need help. Think of it this way - pay now or pay later. If we keep these three in office, we will probably be paying years to come.

Please go to the support page and contribute whatever you feel you are able to. Every little bit helps.

Thank you
David Singer
