The olyrequiremetfor pplicts is tht they beresidetsof Sibel. With the umber of high chievers livig o the isld some retirees, others still workig there is lrge pool of tlet for coucil members to choose from. So why does it pper lmost impossible for yoe ot coected to the locl busiess commuity to be ppoited? Why ot process tht provides for more blce? Four times i row The lst four times vccy occurred o the commissio (I'm ot tlkig bout reppoitig curret commissioers vyhose terms re bout to expire), there hve bee multiple pplicts, public-spirited citizes with good credetils d iterest i servig. Some hd ties to locl busiesses, others did ot. However, the ppoitmets ll wet to people with locl busiesses or coectios to locl busiesses.

Hzel Schuller Sibel Hybrid Petitio Drive for electio of couty commissioers To the editor:, Origilly the Stte of Florid followed the procedure of other sttes d elected couty commissioers by district. The sme procedure ws probbly followed i your home couty s well. Everyoe elected someoe locl to represet re iterests d work with other couty commissioers for the best outcome for the couty. We could ll be cofidet tht the eeds of our re would lwys be represeted i the decisios ffectig the etire couty. This legisltive/dmiistrtive structure, tht hd worked very well, beg to chge i the mid-50s. The ge of Jim Crow Lws sw Florid legisltors proposig chgig their couty to "t-lrge" couty. commissioers i effort to prevet y Afric- Americ from ever beig elected. Lee Couty chged s well. This "t-lrge" system met tht Couty Commissioers mitied district desigtio i me oly. They were ctully elected by the 80 percet of the couty tht ly outside their "dis- trict." Locl res o loger hd the sy of who wet to the Couty Commissio with the desigtio of beig from their district. It would be like hvig the Stte Represettive for Lehigh Acres beig elected by North Fort Myers, Cpe Corl, Boit Sprigs d Sibel. Ech of these res hs specil situtios tht deserve to hve true represettive o the Couty Commissio. These re very diverse res: costl, rurl, ild d urb res. The my istces of cdidte wiig their "district" oly to lose the electio due the other 80 percet quickly shows tht the wishes of locl residets tht uderstd locl issues re lost. Lee Couty residets were offered the chce to estblish home rule, rther th relyig o Tllhssee, by estblishig Couty Chrter. I 1996 the voters of Lee Couty chose dopted couty chrter. The issue of structure of the couty commissio ws hotly debted by the origil commissio estblished to develop Couty Chrter. At ech review sice the the issue of structure of the Couty Commissio hs bee hotly debted. Ech d every couty i the stte hs ckowledged the eed for couty commissioers represetig specified districts s the popultio rose bove 500,000, d i some istces much smller popultio. Lee Couty is ow the lrgest couty i the stte still cligig to the Jim Crow estblished formt. There hve bee few issues i the history of our coutry tht hve bee more hotly pursued th the right to vote d elect our ow represettives. Whether it ws the right of ll "free me" to vote, or the right of wome to vote (filly grted less th 100 yers go), or the elimitio of poll txes d litercy tests we hve dmtly pursued the right to select our politicl leders through the bllot box. Atlrge votig is cotrry to the pursuit of uiversl suffrge, the my re selectig the represettive for the few. Followig mjority vote by members of the lst Chrter Review Committee to plce the issue of chgig. from t-lrge commissioers. Commissioer Hll stted she would brig the issue up for review the followig fll. Tht hs ot hppeed d the oly veue left ope t his poit is to petitio the Bord of Couty Commissioers to llow the voters of Lee Couty to decide. A member of Lee Couty School Bord, which hs lwys followed the Bord of couty Commissioers, hs requested tht Letters to the Editor the issue of structure be discussed t the ext workshop. A petitio to chge the structure of the Bord of Couty Commissioers to 5 sigle member districts d 2 couty wide districts is beig circulted. This hybrid petitio ws developed by totl bi-prtis effort of the Lee Couty Republic Prty, Lee Couty Democrtic Prty, Lee Couty Libertri Prty, d Lee Couty NAACP Chpter 5110 with the support of other groups. I believe this hybrid system will meet the eeds of our growig couty with the sigle member district commissioers givig represettio to the idividul districts d the couty wide commissioers lookig fter the eeds of the etire couty.

Sdr McClito Cpe Corl Trmplig our voter's rights To the editor: There is so much osese i Wshigto D.C., our-stte govermet d our locl Cpe Corl City Govermet, I thought you ll might like to tke look t importt subject tht will determie the outcome of ll of the electios i this coutry i the er d fr future. Tht is, our fudmetl right to vote d hve fir d ubised electio. Ever sice Jury 2001 the GOP hs bee ledig ll out effort to block the vote of our elderly voters, our youg voters, our miority voters d our poor voters, ll key groups who trditiolly vote Democrtic. Republics re imed t shiftig the tide by "stckig the deck". With the cotrol of 59 Chmbers of Stte Legisltors d 29 Goverorships, this hs llowed these ucostitutiol bills to move forwrd. Just look t wht's hppeig right here i Florid, the Legue of Wome Voters hs suspeded their voter registrtio drives becuse of the ew lw tht sys if someoe from their group resisters voter d does ot get tht perso's proper pper work ito the registrr of voters withi 48 hours tht perso c be prosecuted to the full extet of the lw. For this reso loe they hve registered 81,471 less voters th i the pst. I Bush Justice Deprtmet probe ito voter frud, it ws cocluded tht from 2002 d 2007 out of 300, votes cst, prosecutors covicted oly 86 people of voter frud. From where I come from, if your itetios re hoorble, d it is't broke, do't fix it. Not the cse with the Republics d there msters the Koch Brothers. Did you kow tht sice 2001 erly 1000 voter ID bills hve bee itroduced to restrict voter's rights? I believe i true Democrcy we should be promotig our right to vote ot restrict it. If I my, let me sight few exmples. I the stte of Wiscosi, fter the voter regultio bills were pst, stte gecy did lyses of the rmifictios of these ew lws. As per these ew bogus rules; oe out of five voters do't hve the ecessry ID to vote, over oe third of youg people do't hve ecessry ID to vote, 177,000 elderly voters c't vote d 200,000 college studets who hve Uiversity of "Wiscosi ID'S cot use them to vote i Wiscosi electios. It is cler tht"ll of these lws re desiged to elimite those who historiclly vote Democrtic, ot to promote the gretest right of ech d every Americ citize, the right to vote. AH of the bove is ot eough for the Koch Brothers d their puppets. Not oly do they wt to restrict the right'to vote of our citizes, they re chgig the lws o how d whe we c vote. Let me quote piece i Rollig Stoe Sept. 15 i referece to Ohio d Florid. "Next yer, erly votig will be cut from 14 to 8 dys i Florid d from 35 to 1 1 dys i Ohio, with limited hours o weekeds. I dditio, both Sttes bed votig o the Sudy before the electio, dy whe blck churches historiclly mobilize their costituets". If you're workig perso who is jugglig your schedule of work, home, kids, school, whtever, you eed this extr time to resister so you c do the right thig d vote. I closig, I would highly recommed to my fellow citizes, Republic d Democrts who wt to miti the highest degree of itegrity i our electio lws to cotct your Stte Represettive d let your voice be herd. They still c't tke tht wy from you. Or c they? Jim Hely Cpe Corl ^j^rrrvvo^ YOLO Wveruers-Prsilig-Ymh Scooters-Bicycles-Bech Chirs & Umbrells-Silbots.
