This City election will go down as having the most diverse group of candidates ever. Each running on different agendas on solving Vero’s electric problems and the impending law suits. It is frightening because the voters are innocent and in a dire situation. These victims have to select the right candidates and realize that the future council will face and resolve the difficult tasks ahead! Dear Vero Constituent, your vote is now so important, it is up to you to save your city! A lack of interest and a lack of your vote created this mess, make your vote count this time, don’t be tricked by ridiculous promises, do your homework and save your city! – Larry Wopnick

Ugh, the Press Journal is just awful. Did you see the front page today? I’ve felt for a long time that they have lost all credibility with the Brunjes connection. It’s okay to be married and support one another, but when our ‘news’ is engineered, it becomes propaganda. We care about the electric issue, but you’re beating a dead horse. We have lots of other issues we care about, too. I wish all the candidates well, but I just can’t understand how three citizens can feel that they can accomplish what high-paid lawyers haven’t been able to do thus far.
We need elected officials who can not only come up with a workable solution to the electric issue but more importantly, who want our city to be a well-balanced and very special place to visit or live full-time. We don’t want developers – local or out-of-town – making a mess of things. Every voter can make a difference but please don’t think this is all about the cost of electric power. It is also about the cost of property tax; the cost in losing a well-trained, highly-motivated Police Department. It’s about standing up to those who support trains speeding through our community–a train wreck just waiting to happen; it’s about our parks and our beaches with lifeguards on duty. Your one vote will make a difference – along with all the other one votes! Please, as Mr. Wopnick said, use your head – do your homework and make no excuse for not voting.
Has the legal issue yet been settled as to whether or not Charlie Wilson lives in Vero Beach?
