FIGHT Corruption

With THESE referendums

Change Our City for the Better Through Referendums (Video):

The citizens of Cape Coral are mad as hell at the corruption in city hall, and don’t want to take it any more. But all they can do is give three minute speeches at City Council meetings. We need to reduce the percentage of voter signatures required to put referendums on the ballot from 15 percent to 5 percent, because that is the first step to let citizens retake control of our city.

A referendum is a public vote on a specific issue.

Rescind City Council Stipends (Video):

The stipends given to the Mayor and City Council members without public debate should be rescinded, and voted on by the public.

Unbiased Community Representation (Video):

The City Council disbanded qualified volunteer citizen groups that provided oversight and gave Cape Coral Citizens a voice. The extra burden from disbanding the citizen groups is how City Council and the Mayor justified their stipends. Unbiased community representation and boards should be reinstated to ensure community representation.

Changing Time of Council Meeting to 6 PM (Video):

The City Council meeting time should be changed to 6PM to accommodate more public participation. Certain members of city council have already suggested changing the city meeting time to 9am, further silencing citizen input.

Protect Jaycee Park Referendum (Video):

Any changes to Jaycee Park should be approved by public referendum before implementation. Especially when those changes are funded from taxpayer’s pockets.

Fair Jaycee Park Contracts (Video):

All contracts awarded for Jaycee Park renovations should be subject to public bidding and transparency. The current Jaycee Park redevelopment contract was awarded after concluding a 24 day bidding period with a $25,000 application fee where only 1 bid was received.

Cape Coral is Sinking (Video):

There should be a moratorium on new well drilling and construction to protect water resources. New studies show that Cape Coral homeownership costs could rise dramatically in a short time as a result of too much well drilling.

We’re Losing Many City Employees (Video):

We’re losing many valuable city employees because they are underpaid.

Filling in the Canals (Video):

Filling in canals for car wash construction should be prohibited to preserve existing waterways and keep noise levels under control.
