Allow people to vote over the internet? Gotta be a joke right? I wouldn't trust the election results if we were able to vote online. Ever heard of hackers? I wouldn't trust it.

"REALLY popular"? I haven't heard ONE positive thing about her. No postives coming from her mouth. All she talks about is the negative, negative, negative! No fix for our future. I like living her in PSL...I am so TIRED of hearing the negatives.
I will have to agree with you on your statement "there is a reson for every reaction" The residents MUST know what they are talking about.

I will have to also agree with you in regards to her demeanor. I can't picture someone like her sitting on the council. Too much anger. If the vote came down to huggins and cooper..I'd move!

The candidate you support openly admitted to only taking in 1250 a month. So, you tell me that she isn't doing it for the money?

in response to SLW_RESIDENT:
You've made some good points regarding the candidates, but I have to correct you on one. It was not Albert Hickey who mentioned he wouldn't lay off because of the 1975 nypd layoffs. It was Joe Diskin who is running for District 3. Yes, I know there are a lot of candidates running (circus). I can understand why one would get confused.

Well, it's about time. Took 6 years to do this? Someone needs to clean up the derelict boats underneath the jensen beach causeway too.

Thank you BigpoppaPirate & Meagain. After reading both of your comments, you've pretty much summed it up for me. You've taken the words out of my mouth. No need for me to repeat them.
Volunteering is much needed in our communities.

Written on Port St. Lucie ups annual street-lighting assessment to $27:
How about turning off the lights at the Civic Center? That place is lit up like a runway. No need for it!!! I bet we could save the taxpayers (me & us) a ton of moolah.

in response to WTA:
I read your comment a little more than an hour or so ago. I went onto the city's website and viewed last night's city council meeting. I was curious to know the comment, since you didn't touch on the exact subject. Viewing the meeting from last night and looking for the comment is compared to looking for a needle in a haystack. Can you please explain to us? What happened? Inquiring minds like me want to know.

I have to sit back and laugh. It's all smoke and mirror tactics that I am reading ALL over the tcpalm. Swaying all the attention away from another candidate. That candidate has to come clean with the residents, and no it's not Mr. Edge.

IMO...a plant. The current council are betting either on cooper or rich. Your quite right about business as usual with either of those two getting elected.

Do you seriously care what the tcpalm recommends? They wouldn't know a good thing if it were to hit them in the face.
We are not getting the news but issues that the reporters are passionate for and from their side of view. This seems to be playing into our cultures view of tell me what to think and not how to think.

Same as playing into our cultures view of tell me what to think and not how to think! What we need to hear, most of the time it isn't the absolute truth. For God sake people...it's election time.

Sorry to correct you. In common law jurisdictions, slander refers to a malicious, false and defamatory spoken statement or report, while libel refers to any other form of communication such as written words or images. In this case it would be considered Libel. The tcpalm claims "freedom of speech". So good luck if one was trying to bring legal actions from the comments on the internet. It would be a civic matter.
With that said, I've read many posts of one accusing another of crimes. It's the typical circus that goes on during any election. I'd bet after all is said and done...the current posters that are here...you won't hear a peep from until the 2012.

You keep mentioning "watch the watch dog" all over the blogs. To my knowledge there is only one mayoral candidate that is known to be a "watch dog". Is this who you are referencing? If so, what has she done?
IF you know who I am referring too, they why don't you ask the same question????
like the name tho!!! youdontknowjack Very creative.

Written on Port St. Lucie's Community Redevelopment Agency faces $2 million deficit in 2012-13:
Oh come on, once the money is transferred from the city's general fund to the CRA, it will never be repaid. This downfall of an economy isn't going to end anytime soon. So, how does the city expect to repay the general fund? With what money? Borrow it from somewhere else? Reminds me of paying one credit card with another. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. IMO

Written on Campaign signs disappearing in Port St. Lucie :
“Out of the 500 I put out, I probably have 18 left,” said mayoral candidate Victoria Huggins, who did not report the stolen signs to the Police Department. “I think our Police Department has more better things to worry about than somebody’s campaign signs disappearing.”
After looking closely at mayoral candidate Victoria Huggins' campaign report I noticed that her signs costed $500.00 provided by an inkind contribution. One thing that doesn't make sense....Ms. Huggins claims that she had 500 signs. So spending 500.00 on the signs, that means she spent 1 buck a piece for double printed signs? I went looking throughout the internet trying to find a print shop that would print campaign signs for a buck a peice and who would also provide the stands. Guess what? Couldn't find one. I actually took it a little further than that...I called a local print shop and explained that I wanted 500 double sided signs with stands for a buck a piece. They laughed at me and hung up.
So, Ms. Huggins....how is it possible that you were able to purchase 500 signs/ 500 stands for $500? It's impossible. Seems she is cooking her books!!!!
