Three candidates showed they are doing the peoples work. Three others showed that they are bowing to the pressure of campaign donations — and want cruise ships back. One is clearly on the fence.
A group of politicians proudly passed a new resolution by a huge majority.
A skeptical voter asks, “Great — so when does the actual solution start?”
The lead sponsor replied, “Solution? No, no. This was the resolution. Solving it would require another vote, and we’re all booked through 2028 with Affordable Housing and Community Improvement Resolutions.”
Ted is right about one thing: this vote wasn't going to stop a single cruise ship.
What it did do was show where our elected officials stand. The resolution simply reaffirmed the City's longstanding One Ship Policy and asked the Navy to voluntarily consider the wishes of Key West voters.
Now the voters know who supported that request—and who didn't. That's what representative government is all about.
Hear, hear!
