1. Trying to find a way to keep candidate L. Nesta from running for council.
2. Note to Deile: The Charter clearly states that an employee may not "HOLD OFFICE"; it doesn't say an employee can't RUN for office.
3. He really thought he would walk into the seat with anyone running against him. Wrong again Deile.
4. The info that I received (from a reliable source) said that Deile is trying to find a way to have him (Nesta) disqualified.
5. Let’s hold him to this: Councilman Bill Deile said[,] “Once we set a tax rate it can’t go higher . . . we can always adjust it downward.”
6. And another good one from The Breeze on the phone taping mess: "They're flirting with felonies," Deile said. "It's appalling that at this level the disaffected would stoop to felonious behavior to attack Brandt."
7. Don’t put it past Deile and company to lower the tax rate slightly (relying on the reserve to cover any shortfall) and boast to the public that the RAG lowered taxes. A typical election year move.
8. Deile is throwing up smoke screens, about the missing fuel to cover up what he's really trying to do, which is cut City government to Ground Zero, starting Monday, at Council, with his proposed elimination of HR.
9. The personal attacks, snarky remarks and bad jokes from the dais are not very becoming.
10. He is up for re-election . . . make him explain himself and his past actions to the people that are his BOSS, the citizens of Cape Coral.
11. Deile also believes a felony could have occurred when Pete Brandt was unknowingly recorded while speaking with a city billing representative on behalf of a citizen.

12. He [Deile] said he doesn't know of plans to outsource any of the functions of HR either, and that for now Bateman has responded well to the additional duties.
13. He “doesn’t care what the citizens think.”
13. He “doesn’t care what the citizens think.”
14. Mr Deile you are walking on thin ice with the way you are speaking on the dias. The tape was not obtained illegally unless you are the one poor person in the entire world that thinks that EVERYTHING at city hall isn’t recorded.
15. July 18 Spotlight poll: 11 percent
16. The audit exposed some shortcoming, which is good, but Deile is just trying to justify Towler's hack report!
17. Me thinks he almost made the BIG BLASPHEMOUS BOO-BOO referring to Jesus Christ possibly being homosexual! SHAME SHAME
18. From N-P: “The fuel audit will get a lot of attention, said Councilman Bill Deile. He wants to point out and ask why the audit didn't address some situations that could have allowed theft, Deile said. The city has since installed safeguards to prevent those situations, he said.”
19. From Breeze: “Meanwhile, Councilmember Bill Diele wondered if the fuel audit - conducted by Lee County auditors - was even accurate because the city had no way of knowing how much fuel it did receive during the period studied by Towler, and the county auditors. No bills of lading were received and it was unclear how much fuel the city did receive. Towler even went as far as to follow a tanker truck to Tampa during his investigation. Deile said there was never a clear idea of how much fuel the city received during the period studied by Towler, and later, county auditors. ‘If we have no faith in the number for fuel in how can we reach a conclusion the missing fuel can be in any quantity. It could be one gallon or a million gallons,’ he said.”
20. Why is our Chamber of Commerce giving a breakfast for an incumbent that has caused hate, discontent, lack of vision to move our city forward, borderlines ethical behavior, disrespectful to citizens at public input and to those applying for simple committees, broken promise of finding a methodology for the UE, instead placed the burden directly on the ratepayers back, had a lawsuit against the city, but dropped it once he realized he was going to have to pay out of his pocket, anointed his best friend, Gary King as city manager, even wrote the contract for him. Cutting core services that attracts the tourists to want to live here. Compares citizens to the hated Al Quad terrorists because they have a different opinion than his. Expressed to the media that it had been a mistake sitting on the council dais and would rather serve a term in Iraq than sit on the dais again. The only mistake VOTE sees is if the Chamber continues to support someone that has total lack of respect for our city. Is this the road our chamber wants to travel down? A direction of total destruction. if so, what a sad morning our city will be starting in its history?
21. Current job: Retired attorney; retired colonel (1999), taught political science at Edison College.
22. Political experience: Completing first term as a councilman
23. Community activities: Cape Coral Art League, Military Officers Association of America, Cape Coral Audit Review Committee, Cape Coral Charter School Governing Board, Cape Dispute Resolution Committee, work as a Lee County poll worker, disaster relief worker for SBA/FEMA after Hurricane Charley, Lee County School Board Pride and Patriotism Committee
24. Cape Coral Association of Realtors Forum: “The timing for it [UEP] has to be correct,” said District 3 incumbent Bill Deile. Otherwise, the property owners could end up walking away from land that is valued far below the assessments applied to pay for the new lines, Deile said.
25. N-P Forum Comments: Of the incumbents Deile was his arrogant obnoxious self last night
26. N-P Forum Comments: Would love to hear Deile squirm through explaining why he tried so many times to get Dave Montrose reprimanded.
27. N-P Forum Comments: I think many had high expectations for Deile. In the end he has misused his power time and again. From trying the get his lawsuit resolved by the city manager (a violation of state statutes), to pleading his case from the dais, to trying to shut down Civic’s use of the Yacht Club, to trying to get Dave Montrose fired, Deile has done everything but look out for the well being of the city.
28. N-P Forum Comments: Deile and Brandt lied to the VOTERS when they promised us, they would have a useable Methodology for the UEP in 2008.
29. Quote from Deile: "One thing Mrs. LePera is absolutely correct about is her statement, ‘I do believe that Mr. Deile will offer something toward improving the UEP ...’ I have already begun this process and I will continue to work to obtain the type of program our residents need and deserve. Given where we are now it will not be easy or quick, but it must and will be done."
30. Deile reminds me of the paranoid Captain Quegg, from the Caine Mutiny! There are those who believe he came in with the best of intentions, but I knew him before; he is an arrogant, egotistical, megalomaniac!
31. King’s best overall review so far is 3.4 from Councilman Bill Deile. Deile gave King a four on seven of the 13 areas councilmen are rating the manager. Deile wrote on his review that King should do more to promote his positive accomplishments and be tougher on employees for nonperformance.
32. Rosko Review: Interestingly, none.

1. Al Sheppard has no ties with any groups, except those in Sandoval that convinced him to run
2. For strong public safety effort, a true focus on economic development supportive of the community, for the multiple generations that reside in the Cape
3. July 18 Spotlight poll: 17 percent
4. First run for elected office
5. Enjoys, nature dogs, sports, fishing
6. Cape Coral Association of Realtors Forum: Assessments could be spread over a longer term with a lower interest to ease the burden on property owners, said District 3 candidate Alan Sheppard. “Wells and septic tanks were never meant to be a permanent solution."
7. N-P Forum Comments: A. Sheppard spoke very well.
8. Rosko Review: Wants to increase the sales tax, create other revenues besides millage. He stated that the CRA is a hodgepodge but expressed he had no knowledge of the issue. He also stated, "If it's good knowledge we go ahead with it." There are other ways of raising revenue besides millage and assessments, pay as you go fee and increase the sales tax. Alan Sheppard stated the city we (sic) should buy the golf course.
Leonard Nesta Jr. NON RAG

Leonard Nesta Jr. NON RAG 1. Cape Coral firefighter
2. I know Lenny N. IMHO, he's a good man and would do his best to fulfill the office if elected.
3. Mr. Nesta has been here a lot longer than he [Deile] has. I too know him on a professional basis. Good man.
4. The Charter clearly states that an employee may not "HOLD OFFICE"; it doesn't say an employee can't RUN for office.
5. I know that Nesta got a green light from the city attorney and the city clerk office, but Deile doesn't agree with them.
6. I’ve heard Nesta plans to retire before the new council members would take their seats, so the whole issue is a non-issue.
7. July 18 Spotlight poll: 56 percent
8. Education: Florida State Fire College, National Fire Academy, certified public pension trustee
9. First run for elected office
10. Member Grace United Methodist Church, firefighter pension fund trustee, member NCPERS, member Florida Public Pension Trustees Association
11. Cape Coral Association of Realtors Forum: “I am a little nervous, but I have a strong backbone. I’m going over budget and city issues,” said District 3 candidate Lenny Nesta Jr. “It’s a new adventure for me. My goal is to get my face out into the public so they get to know me as a person.”
12. Cape Coral Association of Realtors Forum: Water bills will go up if the program isn’t restarted, said District 3 candidate Lenny Nesta.
13. N-P Forum Comments: Nesta only decided to run the week prior to the forum so he really hasn't had much time to research and familiarize himself with all the issues. I agree, he seems very genuine, loves this city, and is not a "politician".
14. N-P Forum Comments: I was impressed with Nesta, seems genuine but a little nervous, IMO I think he will get better speaking as more forums come up.
15. Rosko Review: CRA is a great organization and the council should stand behind it. He stated that he would work diligently hard (gotta love that Lynn - "diligently hard") for the residents, formulate a plan to grow the city. The UEP will bring people into the city. Lenny Nesta stated the city we (sic) should buy the golf course.
