The serfs on Cudjoe Key are not the one-percenters of Shark Key. They are Lesser Mortals. The Oligarchs and Plutocrats who own the politicians never pay full boat for anything. Hence, we 99ers just have to grin and bear it. We've got the best Democracy money can buy.

Here's how it is going to go down. The rest of us in the Lower Keys are going to be treated like Shark Key. Areas on Big Pine and No Name, for example, that want to be sewered like Shark Key was sewered are going to be sewered. The fee we will all pay will be the same as was paid by Shark Key. Let the BOCC vote however they like but if its not the same approach taken on Shark Key when George Nugent got his buddy Jim Reynolds to pull a fast one on taxpayers and sewer that island, a place that was not even part of the sewer plan, much less build the most expensive (more than $ 50,000 per EDU) community system in the history of the Keys without public bids, then you can be sure that residents will not tolerate being treated any differently. Not in the fee for connection nor service to our homes. BOCC, and FKAA, you can do the just thing now or suffer the humiliation of being exposed for what was done to taxpayers to help your wealthy supporters on Shark Key. Here's to hoping you make the right, fair, decission for the rest of us.
