: I think you're right in the fact that
: balancing all of issues that are important
: to various segments of the community is
: tough - for anyone, including Joanie.
: However the foundation for legitimate
: representation is respect for human dignity.
: Some may perceive Joanie as a bit eccentric,
: but I bet that few know that she has a
: Master's level education and thoughtfully
: analyzes issues, rather than just react to
: special interests, while listening to all
: sides. She starts with basic respect for
: others.
: When analyzing issues and trying to achieve
: balance for a community, one of the
: necessary tasks is to be able to perceive
: when any one special interest area or group
: is intensely pursuing their interest at the
: expense of other segments of the community.
: All of our actions are based upon self
: interest, and this is the way it should
: work. Community leaders and representatives
: though also have the job of balancing all of
: these self interests so that one segment of
: the community is not diminished for the
: benefit of another.
: There is nothing wrong with business and
: property owners, and those that currently
: have significant local power to be
: prosperous in their endeavors. As a
: community we should just keep a balance on
: what this might cost us in either community
: values or even economic impact on other
: segments.
: In this sense I trust that Joanie would
: truly respect everyone, without necessarily
: having to agree with everyone.
: I'd like to see her get elected, and see the
: effect that would have on the entire
: council. I think some might anticipate some
: antagonism from her, but I really don't
: think this will be the case - except in
: those instances when the council is saying
: one thing with their words but doing
: something else with their actions - which
: does happen from time to time. Otherwise I
: think she has the ability to bring some
: thoughtful analysis to community issues and
: honestly balance input from different
: segments of our community.
: Regards - Greg

: City of Marathon!

: PLEASE tells your friends, tell everyone...

: be entering this November’s
: Marathon City Council race.

:
: PLEASE this time... Vote for Joanie. Vote
: to Protect the Harbor and the City. She has
: gotten close before. This time help it
: happen.
:
: Joanie WILL help control the wastful
: spending from years past. She STANDS UP for
: the people.
:
: Okay..but what does protecting the harbor
: and city really mean for the average
: law-abiding liveaboard person/couple/family
: versus the city dwellers and finally the
: rich landowner/business people...how will
: she respect everyone?
:
:
:
: The real issue is, is Marathon a better
: place today than it was ten years ago? If
: your answer is NO then Joanie is your gal.
: She is a well educated down to earth person
: who would want to see Marathon remain the
: way it was or is without any more developers
: coming in and trying to turn it into
: something differant. We love the Keys and
: got forced out because of the greed. Hello
: to all we miss you!
