Maybe they should block off the bridge to No Name Key and stage a secession - oh wait that's been done

If you bought out there in the quiet lands of No Name, you knew what you were getting into. The community out there is one of people who wanted an alternative lifestyle in a time of Peak Energy. It's an experiment in progressive living, off the grid, figuring a way to live in the days of Peak Oil and Peak Growth.

"I can't imagine a more urgent motion," Assistant County Attorney Derek Howard said. "We were surprised by his ruling." Friends and neighbors, can you imagine that Monroe County has no more pressing issue than to continue four decades of discrimination against No Name Key? I smell a rat. I wonder when the County and BOCC Members Murphy and Nugent will stop the farce at taxpayers expense to protect their buddy Alicia "Pirate" Putney so as to perpetuate her lies. Former County Attorney told the BOCC what it did not want to hear, that No Name's residents are (DUH!) allowed to bring their homes commercial power and she nearly lost her job over it. The new County Attorney, and his staff and their highly paid (those being yours and my dollars) could not figure out (or so they said to their bosses) the 'complex' issue of No Name and had to sue the entire island to ask a Judge to explain Putney's Law to them. Thankfully the Judge realized that neither Keys, nor the BOCC, or surely not Pirate Putney, have any say in whether you, or the No Namers, are allowed power. My guess is that the County will continue to try and hurt these poor people but my other guess is that the No Namers will not stop until the discrimination against them has ended and they can go about their lives in peace. I wish them well and support them in their fight.
