HometownPAC! Meet The Candidates Forum
The evening (Friday, 8-21) started out quite nice with a good size crowd. Botanical Gardens hosted the event and WOW have they done some nice work. Please check them out: www.keywestbotanicalgarden.org All the Candidates were prepped and ready for THREE MINUTES to state their platforms. THEN, a thump of thunder and when Mr. Weekley began his dialogue the heavens opened up and that was that.
We all moved eventually wet and dripping to the church across the parking lot. About 30 minutes later, Mr Weekley began again. So did he get FOUR minutes?? HA!
I was proud and honored to speak and here is the jist:
James Marquardt, Candidate for District 6 City Commission
"We need a Higher Level of OBJECTIVITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, TRUTHFULNESS and a CONNECTION with ALL the people, not just a select group.
"We need to focus on Green and Clean energy. There is no reason our little Island in the middle of the gulf should not be self sufficient in De Sal water, Refuse to energy and a recycle program that is fair and REWARDS both business and private homes. Not penalize.
"We need to focus on historic conservation, cooperative involvement, creative local economic development. Making a difference in ALL our lives not a select group.
"We need to employ LOCALLY not what we are sometimes greeted by at our restaurants and other business's.
"We need to invest in our youth. There is a wonderful and successful program in District 6. The workforce training. These young adults have decided to get off there seats and be a part of positive change. Some business' will not hire them do to their address or skin. Even when they are OVER qualified. So, this training program is allowing them to participate in a Community based training program for Electricians, Plumbers and Carpentry. Their test scores are 95+ which is fantastic. When I visit the job site or sit in on a class, they are so happy someone cares! I will support these young adults and support 100% of any organization that will do this type of Positive change. Their families are getting involved and their friends are noticing. The next class has 18 registered!
"I have a DEMONSTRATED and PROVEN record with affordable housing and fighting for this community.
"I am a person of INTEGRITY and CHARACTER, not like what I was approached with last week.
"Together you and I will be a part of Positive Change. REAL change not politics as usual. Together we will be an active and engaged community creating real results.
"Since the gentleman before me brought up change as not that important, I would like to point out that this Country embraced real change and placed and African American in the most powerful seat in the world.
"This race is not about black or white, gay or straight. It is about the best person to do the job and that person is me, James Marquardt. I thank you for your vote."

Francis Street Neigborhood Association Meeting
Tuesday, July 20th the Francis Street Neighborhood Association met at 611 Francis Street.
What would have been a routine general meeting was overshadowed by recent neighborhood events. Specifically two muggings one of which was a candidate for Key West City Commission District 1, Mr. Thomas (Tom) Milone. Tom is a long standing watchdog and I consider a friend. He was mugged on his way home from the gym and lucky for him, does not remember much of the attack. He is healing with two fractures to his jaw.
SIDE NOTE: Celebrity Bartending Benefit for Tom's Medical Expenses is this Saturday, July 25th, from 7pm on, Bottlecap Lounge on Simonton St (Corner of Catherine and Simonton).
It appeared more of a City Photo opportunity with the following in attendance. (I do not mean to take away from the event but when do all these people turn out??)
Mayor McPherson, City Manager Jim Scholl, City Attorney Shawn Smith, Code Compliance Jim Young, then the people I would expect: Dist 1 Commissioner Bill Verge, Dist 6 Commissioner Clayton Lopez, Police Chief Donnie Lee; then of course myself and District 1 Candidate for City Commission District 1, Jimmy Weekley.
A strong turn out and an encouraging sign that the City Administration is concerned - you tell me.
It seems that the exact spot where Mr Milone's mugging occured has been dark for years, tree canopy or light out, they will let us know.
Of course the discussion of Iguana's still happened which really is important but given the circumstances around Mr. Milone's mugging it begged a strong response which was represented in KWPD Chief Donnie Lee.
Until next time, see you on the streets!
