A salute to Charlie Strader for putting some sense into our city council/ The DR/GR land is a sacred God given trust not to be shredded by Nelson and Spears, for the benefit of development. Who needs it. Get to work on cutting spending and curtailing rediculous expenditures and do it with what you have not what you might have if you kiss up to developers. Serve the people of Bonita Today, not the people of tommorow. When and if there is room for more people, they too will have a vote in electing city officers. YOU WERE ELECTED TO SERVE TODAYS CONSTITUENTS. Make Bonita Better, Not Bigger.

Docwatson, I am not suggesting that it be left up to Lee County Code enforcement, but taken to a much higher level. The Lee County Commissioners are the ones that I say must handle it. If they need additional code enforcers, it is their problem, but keep Bonita Out OF IT. Yes we all suffer when elected and re-elected Commissioners FAIL to do the right thing, but if that is the case here again, perhaps some RE-CALL PETITIONS would be in order. IE: Keep their feet to the fire.

#3 Docwatson. Why on earth should Bonita Springs put our code enforcement people in harms way, subject them to possible law suits that will most certainly arise if it is done wrong, and at our taxpayer expense. This is a COUNTY FAILURE AND THEY MUST DEAL WITH IT. The media screams Bonita Springs Trailer Park and that is just B.S. It is a Lee County Trailer Park, a County problem let them fix it. Actually hold their feet to the flames until it is fixed. Each Commissioner should be mandated to give up their homes for a few weeks and go and live in Manna or in the Shelter. Maybe they would get the picture. How many electrocutions, sicknesses, drownings or deaths will it take, how many floods?

See the comments under Chad Gillis report just down a few lines on the page.
On Lee to consider shutting down flooded Bonita mobile home park

Swamp4u2 You are on the right track. I keep seeing the press refering to these people as migrant farm workers! Has anyone taken a hard look at the employment records of these people, For real now, HOW MANY ARE "MIGRANT" Farm Workers. The farm employment in Lee and Colier counties has dropped over 50% in the last 10 years. If a person is "Migrant that means moving on from one place to the next as the seasons dictate. Why does anyone, except the agricultural employer, (by law) have to provide for any housing. Lets see some bright reporter come up with the FACTS not just the worn out catch phrases like migrant farm worker, or poor homeless people. How about unskilled, uneducated laborers willing to break laws to get here and willing to break laws to add onto their housing so more of the same can move in and abuse the kindness of our social welfare system. Lets see some honest reporting and put the pablum to rest once and for all.

Chad has it wrong.. The people that he refers to as Bonitas less fortunate, are not Bonita Springs residents. They live outside of the city limits and are clearly a Lee County Problem. Bonita does not enforce codes at Manna, Lee county is the only legal entity overseeing these people. The whole thing is the problem of Lee county, caused by lee county and must be resolved by Lee County, Get it right and leave Bonita out of it. Bonita is financialy strapped and needs no part of bailing out Lee County in any way for this ongoing problem. No person of any ethnic background should ever have been allowed to live there. Those who did so broke all laws by expanding their trailers, and recieved no punishment for doing so. They lived there at their own peril and the relocation should not be a problem for any agency. These people are survivors and they made their own beds. Now they have to move on. Efforts to Help are being offered to relieve the guilty parties of their guilt. Blame Lee County, Blame Peter Quinn, and blame the less fortunates who took the easy path of breaking the law and get over it. They are out and that is where they belong. They have recourse in civil courts for the negligence of county and Quinn and a sharp lawyer can find avenues to get them relief if it can be shown that they did not break laws. Too bad that so many did. This whole issue is not a cause for bleeding heart liberals to rally behind. It is a problem that must be resolved by the people who caused it. Lee county, the residents of the slum park and Quinn.

What took so long to arrest this bum? Is he related to some high up entity. Everyone of the others arrested knew this jerk was there and so did the police, so why the delay in getting him?
The poor children are all just the victims of poor parenting, and now we all pay. Good cause for skimming the gene pool. They should all be force to relocate outside of the county lines.Each parrent should be sent to jail with the child in a shared cell for a few years. Maybe then the parent will learn how to relate and teach, or not!

If the offending child is a boy, he and dad go to jail together for 6 months, sharing the same cell and paying in fines for being there. If the offender is a girl, she and mom go off together for 6 months in jail in the same cell, also paying their own way.'
Give the homeowners, clear title to the offenders homes, until all damages are paid for plus compensation for pain and suffering equal to 10 times damages.

Now the city leaders want to throw taxpayer dollars that they do not have into rezoning costs for a parcel of land that belongs to the people of Bonita. They want to do this just to help make another developer rich, or even worse several smaller developers. Why dont they just wait 6 months or a year and see what the people come up with. There are other valid uses for this property it does not have to be a condo complex, to make Bonita better. Stop the madness and do not waste another dime on this untill the people have spoken.

Swampbuggy? Why do you think it will take two weeks? Quinn is probably helping them in right now.
