   Our mayor is already millionaire but he has such a good heart that he's   
   willing to occupy public office for only $10,000 a year.   
      
   It is said he wants to make this community better but that's not the quality   
   of life we see. There's an explosion of real estate in the area, low-lying   
   beachfront property threatened by hurricanes.   
      
   But he can not confirm he believes in climate change. Perhaps it would scare   
   the real estate away.

   I wonder where's the trick. A center for the elderly --the voting machine-- is   
   on standby, several years under construction. I would say ready to open, but   
   it doesn't happen. And half the streets are under construction at once. Can't   
   they fix an area    
   then the other one?    
      
   Our politicians are the worst hurricane.
