Wanting answers from Rep. Botana on merger talks
The following letter was sent from Fort Myers Beach Mosquito Control District Chair Joanne Semmer to Rep. Adam Botana and shared with the Fort Myers Beach Observer as Ms. Semmer awaits a response:
Dear Rep. Botana,
Do you still intend to propose the merger of the Fort Myers Beach Mosquito Control Taxing District and the Lee County Mosquito Control? I can’t find any information on this proposal.
Our tax millage is less than 1/2 the Lee County Mosquito Control District tax millage and we provide a special service responding to calls for service within 24 hours or less. We visit each and every property that is accessible at least two times a year for an inspection. We are surrounded by environmentally sensitive areas that require special attention and monitoring. YOUR PROPOSAL IS FOR HIGHER TAXES FOR LESS SERVICE.
Please answer me, do you still intend to propose a merger of the Fort Myers Beach Mosquito Control Taxing District and Lee County Mosquito Control District?
Joanne Semmer
Fort Myers Beach Mosquito Control District Chair
