Greg - How do you think the District 3 forum went?

by Vonna Keomanyvong 10/27/2016 10:26:26 PM
Really thought both candidates put their best foot forward. Saunders hammered on his experience, Karim made some strong points about business incentives

I don't mean to pick on Bill McDaniel here, but this might be the twenty-fifth time he's begun one of these forums with this "less is more" opening

by Greg Stanley 10/27/2016 10:35:12 PM
Do you have a question for the Collier District 5 candidates? Ask here. nplsne.ws/2eRM6xv

by Vonna Keomanyvong via twitter 10/27/2016 10:40:13 PM

Paquette would try to bring back sliding scale impact fees, can't have a minimum of 20-plus grand to build a home

by Greg Stanley 10/27/2016 10:40:37 PM
McDaniel: Need to look at the kind of housing we want to encourage. We have homes under $200k for sale here, so what's the definition we're actually looking for, the market place?

by Greg Stanley 10/27/2016 10:41:23 PM
Tamara Paquette turns over her clipboard to show the map for District 5, the race she and Bill McDaniel are in. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CvzxAEtWEAEAKeV.jpg

by jigsha desai via twitter 10/27/2016 10:44:51 PM
Tamara Paquette says Bill McDaniel was initially running for District 3 but switched to District 5 when Burt Saunders ran for 3.

by jigsha desai via twitter 10/27/2016 10:46:12 PM
Oooh... Tamara Paquette gives a burn: "as a real person living in District 5" she thinks different of interchange.

by jigsha desai via twitter 10/27/2016 10:55:36 PM
McDaniel rebuts and says he lives in District 5 too and lives in Corkscrew Sanctuary.

by jigsha desai via twitter 10/27/2016 10:56:19 PM

Another Tamara Paquette line: "we are not going to pave paradise and put up a gated community."

by jigsha desai via twitter 10/27/2016 11:05:30 PM
Tamara Paquette keeps pointing out that Bill McDaniel is not from District 5 as she describes needs for her District.

The District 5 candidates are now giving their closing statements. Watch now: nplsne.ws/2eRM6xv

by Vonna Keomanyvong via twitter 10/27/2016 11:20:04 PM
Yeah GM, Paquette wants to charge impact fees on a sliding scale, so that smallest homes pay the least. McDaniel seemed to say it was less of a problem, that we have plenty of homes under $200k for sale right now, wants to study what exactly kind of housing stock we need

by Greg Stanley 10/27/2016 11:20:14 PM
