I have to express my disappointment at the lack of respect and consideration the Holmes Beach commission gave to the two residents that got up to speak at Tuesday’s meeting.
The residents of our city have been working day and night to save our city from a potential takeover. It wasn’t as if there was a room full of people that wanted to speak. There were just two. Giving them 2 minutes to talk was an insult.
Residents have been writing letters and offering their expertise to form web pages, research documents, write letters, design yard signs and collect petitions.
If they think they can resolve the lack of communicating with legislators and initiating controversial plans such as the elimination of parking and garage bans on their own, I personally think they are not facing reality. Right now, they need the support of their residents more than ever.
I’m afraid they have just shown a lot of us that our opinions are not worth their time.
Very sad for us and for the future of our city.
