I watched the entire council meeting and what I saw “turned my stomach”. The same characters spewing their venom upon our city council once again. The worst was Charlie Wilson, who put on a performance that should have resulted in his being escorted off of his soapbox. He went on his usual venomous verbal rampage which has now become all too common. Yes, this is the same Charlie Wilson who was removed from the council by a judge. The same Wilson who has run for so many public offices, and lost, that we have lost count. Yes, the same Wilson who left St Lucie County with many questions that persist to this day. His rants at public meetings are a public disgrace. – John E. Church

I am looking for Rich Campbell’s “objective” coverage of the antics of FPL’s representatives during the city council meeting. Come on Rich let’s see the front piece article like the one you wrote yesterday in tomorrow’s Press journal. I bet Rich is back covering the Mets from now on.
When some people abuse their right (and privilege) to share their information and opinions before governmental bodies, it is time to make some unpopular rules and enforce them. Our City Council has been quite democratic in allowing speakers to exceed the few minutes allotted (so everyone has the chance to have a voice).
I do not know what the process is for allowing public comment. The rules do not seem to be applied in any uniformed fashion.
All COVB speakers give their addres but not Charlies Wilson. He should not be allowed such an exemption.
The COVB also has allowed anti-Common Cause and Seven50 agenda “discussion” revert to basic mob rule. Wearing red shirts and being loud are not a sufficient justification to allow a small minority to hijack any throughtful discourse on 21st century solutions to address real needs of the community.
