Letter to the Editor / YOUR VOTE SHOULD BE SACROSANCT

By Roger C. Kostmayer

In our democracy, citizens and their votes make the laws directly and by selecting representatives  who respect their votes. Votes determine the winners and the losers and the US Constitution includes no provision for post election compromises or back room deals.  The majority wins.

Key West voters won the cruise ship election in 2018 and it is way past time for elected officials to implement it.  Imagine David and Goliath risking life and limb to decide an issue, and when David beats Goliath, dark money interests demanded negotiations and compromises !

Commissioner Jimmy Weekly got it right:  The people have spoken and it’s our job (as elected officials) to back them up.  It’s time for the cruise ship ordinance to be drafted and implemented and to avoid further shenanigans.
