Even though one sad chapter in the history of the Village of Palmetto Bay has closed, it is not a time to celebrate, sing, dance or gloat. There is still much work to accomplish in order for the Village to run effectively, efficiently and within the rule of law.

Whether friend or past political foe we must all work together for the good of Palmetto Bay and to become what we, the Citizens of Palmetto Bay, feel is an example of the way a City should be run. The Village was not incorporated for 50 individuals but for 25,000 residents.

This agenda is in no particular order and I’m sure others will let me know if I’ve missed something.
• The Recall of Mayor Stanczyk and Joan Lindsay
• The Election defeat of Brian Pariser in the upcoming election
• The defeat of all Charter Changes
• The defeat of the Neighborhood Protection Ordinance until a new council is elected
• The finalization of all litigation between Palmer Trinity and the Village
• A resolution to the Shores at Palmetto Bay lawsuit

In order to accomplish this there are various leader that are in the community that have to get off the sidelines, make their voices heard and put some skin in the game. This is not a task for three or four individuals.

This is a task for Leaders of the community that have been silent unless they are talking behind closed doors. It’s time for you to take a public stand and not hide behind an alias. This is your Village, what are you prepared to do to save it?
