Recently a small but vocal group of people, the same people who opposed my candidacy for Anna Maria City Commissioner, have accused me of violating Sunshine Laws and called for my resignation. Their claims are baseless, false, and possibly slanderous.
So why are they lying? Because, in the words of one of my opponents, I’m “scary.”
What are they afraid of? Simply, one meeting at a time, one issue at a time, we the people are making a difference. What some call “a shadow government” others call a strong, informed, active group of like-minded citizens committed to preserving Anna Maria. Call them what you will; I represent them with pride.
Most of us knew back in November the election was going to be a watershed moment. It may sound like hyperbole, but many said it was the most important election in the history of Anna Maria.
We are now witnessing the desperate acts of “the losers.” This current controversy is not about Sunshine Laws or public records disclosure. It’s about discrediting the residents and elected officials of Anna Maria who dare to stand up to those who’ve made a mockery of our Comprehensive Plan and our Land Development Regulations and say, “Enough is enough.”
Thank you to all who have voiced your continued support.
Harry Stoltzfus
Anna Maria City Commissioner
