Desmond Barrett chases his own Rainbow

Desmond Barrett chases his own Rainbow ----

Desmond Barrett – Does it again --- Spending your tax dollars on whimsical flights of fancy --- At the ECWCD meeting board on June 27th they voted 3 to 1 to approve the Adopt A Canal Program even when their own attorney stated that there exists a possibility that there is an inherited liability cost to this project and that the ECWCD could be sued if a volunteer gets hurts on district lands.

ECWCD staff presented the Supervisors the Fiscal Year 2006 budget --- which includes a 35% increase to the taxpayers of Lehigh Acres over last year. I commend Desmond Barrett for not creating new taxes However he IS increasing all the current taxes. WHY?

The Gunnery Road widening project that Lehigh Acres needs so bad may be stalled do to the lack of cooperation between ECWCD and Lee County Government – do to the failure of an agreement for cost sharing between the two government indemnities.
