TC Palm Forum and my comments about mis information

TC Palm Forum and my comments about mis information

 

 The TC Palm Forum for Mosquito Control District Candidates was held on  September 17th. Questions, answers and discussion with McGinn and Erpenbeck for Seat 3 and Lowther and Broda for Seat 1 are now history. This live debate has been aired and TC Palm Editorial Board has yet to endorse candidates but I would like to make several comments:

Let me go on record to say that despite what my opponent claimed about being a snowbird or part time tourist, I have been a resident of IRC and Sebastian since July 2007 (17 years). I have been a homestead registered voter and full time resident since 2019. I own no other property only my home on Miller Dr. I am not a part timer or “Snowbird”.

I live here full time all year from September/October to July but like every other previous  resident not native, I vacation in Pennsylvania with my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren for about 6/8 weeks in summer.

I have kept that schedule just like many other elected officials, but return in summer when needed.

If elected I will attend the monthly board meetings in person all year including July August and September, as I have in 2024. (Despite what my opponent has claimed).

Interestingly enough my opponent was as he said, President of the Taxpayers Association of IRC prior to 2019 but rarely attends any meetings since because of “his busy schedule”. I have attended at least 8 of every 12 monthly meetings since 2020. 

I am also a member of Friends of St Sebastian River, Pelican Island Audubon Society, CWC of IRC, Sebastian Historical Society, IRNA, and have actively defended all environmental issues including working to lead the opposition development of the “Monster Hotel “ located in the county at 11360 South Indian River Dr directly on  the shores of the IR Lagoon, by collecting 3700 petition signatures opposing this destructive application and working with many others, including City of Sebastian who has opposed this application in writing twice.

I am an appointed  member of the City of Sebastian Budget Review Board (2022/present).

I do not have a cast of thousands helping me and I do not have two or three hundred thousand dollars of campaign contributions like some local candidates. My contributions came from colleagues, friends and family.

Please read my many endorsements and the support list on the ENDORSEMENT tab here.

DRONES ARE THE FUTURE FOR MOSQUITO CONTROL. 

Short and Long Range Capital and Operations Budgets should be providing for this expanded technology. Drones are the future for IRC Mosquito Control not planes or Helicopters! There are dozens of you tube examples of this technology applied in Florida.
