Dishonest Gabe is at it again—Don't believe the accusations by Dishonest Gabe Hament in his letter appearing in this past Saturday's OpEd Edition of SRQ Daily. His musings are not altruistic but pandering to the Developer Cabals and wealthy Special Interests who want to take control Sarasota away from the neighborhoods. Always ready to wag a finger when is Dishonest Gabe going bring us something positive and constructive.

Equality Flordia withdrew its request for the ordinance against conversation therapy due to it's unconstitutionality. The City Attorney advised the Commission against the ordinance that other Florida cities had been sued, which was the real reason it did not carry forward. Dishonest Gabe Hament has no credibility whatsoever; he has never worked for community residents' greater good always serves the sinister elitist's greedy agendas.

The Developer Class & Special Interests who want to control the city recruited an Empty Suit candidate to run in District One. This candidate did not even bother to vote in the 2020 Primary; his website has no bio on it still; he's only about money and platitudes. After six months on the campaign trail, the public knows nothing more about him than it did initially.

He has run on a 100% anti-incumbency platform; there are no visions and nothing about how he plans to accomplish the taxpayers' goals or protect our quality of life. Don't turn District One over to a 52-year-old man with no service record and not one item on his resume that qualifies him to be a City Commissioner. We all will pay for his on the job training.

If the Empty Suit candidate has never worked to achieve a higher ideal at this stage of life, what makes you think he will now?
