“Is it really worth living in Cape Coral?” Cathleen Sheppard

Let me start with some of the latest facts.  Cape Coral is in the top five for having the largest amount of forclosures. The city council is being mocked constantly because they have no respect for one another and their meetings once a week are like reality tv. I have actually had people tell me they watch it for fun. So not only are there families struggling in these hard economic times to keep their homes but now the city wants to put a tax on our electric bill to make up for lost property tax, tax the square footage of our home to pay to keep the fire fighter (Which I do agree we need! The fire fighters! And they deserve every penny they make), and even though we are a city that is exempt from the watering law in the state of Florida they still want to put restrictions on us for watering so they can fine us. The reason Cape Coral is exempt is because we the citizens have paid to have a recycling water plant that recycles our waste water and then it is used for irrigation water. And as we have watering restriction and they are fining people for watering the city is taking that overload of recycled water and dumping it into the river when they are to full at the plant. Makes me wonder who we have running our city!
