San Carlos Drive not Court

To the editor:

The so-called San Carlos Island Drainage Project is the brainchild of several clever San Carlos Drive residents that were fortunate to locate an easy-to-manipulate public servant at the Municipal Service Taxing Benefit Unit. Hence, the project was born.

I have a very small building located on the corner of South Street and San Carlos “Court” that suffers no drainage issues due to the fact that I paid approximately $10,000 to install storm water piping. Now, along comes MSTBU Denise Sabatini and incorporates my property in the project.

Listen to this, as I mentioned my piping is in place. They are hooking on to it, and they still are going to charge me as if new piping was being installed. That’s approximately $15,000 to bring the total to $25,000 for a problem I don’t have. Does that sound fair to you???

I fell this MSTBU branch is in dire need of a new coordinator. Mid-April is the expected completion date, but it should be more like March. When it’s done early, who do you think wants the “Attaboy Award??” Ya, you guessed it.

Merry Christmas!!
