What A Difference a Day Makes

We’ll get straight to the point.

Late this morning Mike Selby qualified to run for mayor of the City of Anna Maria. Selby will face P&Z Board member Sandy Mattick in the race. Thank you Mike for stepping up and offering your significant skills and expertise in business to publicly serve the citizens of Anna Maria.

Hold on, we’re not finished yet.

In a twist of sweet irony only this city can produce, Harry Stoltzfus has qualified to run for the very seat for which he is the target of a recall effort should that recall effort survive next week’s hearing and the September election actually takes place. Architect Gene Aubry has also qualified for the tentative election. City Clerk Alice Baird and City Attorney Jim Dye have both determined that there is no bar to Stoltzfus seeking to retain his seat. You can review the basis for their determination by clicking and reading Hurt v. Naples and THIS Florida Attorney General opinion.

We look forward to a...well...let’s say an active campaign season. My, what a difference a day makes.

Stay informed.
