The weak sock puppet mayor has not been a good fit for Homestead. Developers, contractors and entrepreneurs control the current mayor and the sock puppet has been great for them. Is that because he is weak, they view him as weak, they know he is beholding to them, what is the reason that they feel they can order him around as their houseboy?
Look at the favors he has done. Free electricity, waived code enforcement fees, passes on red-light camera tickets...oops, shhh that's a secret. Contracts to buddies, overbilling from campaign donors, settlements to cash contributors, well it's been a great run, but the strong sock puppet nonsense is DOA. Even your former supporters have drawn a line in the sand.
Can you count on a sock puppet mayor to ever say no and put the taxpayers first? Ultimately isn't it just a sock with a hand up it's behind, pull out the hand and it collapses? The hands are saying no more, you went too far.
Hats off to all of those who will band together to defeat Mayor Bateman's vision of the Florida City/Otis Wallace strong mayor style government. This blog is with you. Sorry Mayor your Key Largo waterfront mansion will have to wait. Not this time, not ever.
