![]() The poster didn’t address the unanswered question of promises broken by the government about raising the night speed limit to 45 mph if no deer were killed within a certain period of time. That was years ago and no deer were killed. The poster is only referring to hurricane damage for his opinion on the night time speed limit. Of course deer were killed when the fence got wiped out. That’s what the fences were for, to protect the deer from cars. The overpasses and fencing worked. During its existence no deer were killed, so when the fencing is properly restored raise the night time speed limit in that stretch to 45 mph. |

![]() Bringing commercial power to No Name Key allowed for solar-grid-tie opportunities, and it silenced the noisy, polluting generators that 39 of the 43 homeowners used on a regular basis. These 2 changes created a greener future for NNK. Today, 80% of the NNK residents are connected to the grid because they chose to be. The process of extending electricity to NNK afforded me the opportunity to work with our biologists, FWC, USFWS, our County (most all departments), our BOCC, and the Public Service Commission. The knowledge and experience gained, and the legal insight of utility regulation and autonomous legislative authority, is something I uniquely bring as a candidate for the Keys Energy Board. As is my first-hand knowledge and personal experience with home-solar. ~Beth Beth Ramsay-Vickrey for KW Utility Board Seat D |

[Fair Share Principle] I’m in my 60s. You’ve probably never lived in America when the wealthy paid more taxes. I have. We accomplished great things. We eliminated polio, built new schools, bridges and highways, cut the poverty rate, led the world in technology and even went to the moon six times! |

I am divorcing Facebook. Too much politics, griping and whining, nastyness and bullshit. What started as a nice social media site to share things and ideas with friends, has devolved into an angry, nearly hate-filled diatribe of political BS. Yes, there are still nice posts, recipes, and other things of general interest but I’m tired of all the other crap that seems to be about 80% of the posts. So I’ll see you at the watering hole if you want a few brewskies and conversation. |

[“CT prints lies”] Scopes says that’s not true. I agree 100%. 10-4 poster on all you say. Whoever posted the initial “CT lies” post has lost their base of real life and reason for being down here. Deer Ed is right-on and I really hope he/she stays the course of impartial honest rendering of what the Keys folks are saying. That is the credo of the CT: What Keys folks are saying.
You go, Deer Ed, we readers (perhaps the ‘CoCo nuts’?) really appreciate you and what you do to produce the CT — Really. Keep it up. Please. |

Affordable housing scams are happening all over the country. Politicians cry for affordable housing and developers take advantage of it and make a fortune. Most time the politicians and the developers are linked. Check out what happened in Santa Barbara: “No city, including Santa Barbara can build itself into affordable housing and into prosperity. The more housing that is built, the more people will come here and the more demand for housing, city services, welfare and more congestion too. (sound familiar?) Link |

[Angry People] There sure does seem to be an enormous amount of angry, pissed off people screaming about the Keys. It seems in the last few years it has turned into an epidemic. I don’t think the word “Paradise” really fits the Keys anymore. Watch, I guarantee someone will scream about me posting my opinion and, without really noticing, will prove my point. “Live and let live” has died in the Keys. The Hurricane Dave’s, Barefoot Bobs and O.Z.s are missed now more then ever. |

[“Bacon quiz”] Number 5. I like it crispy, not that old rubbery stuff some restaurants serve. Haw hard it is to cook bacon. Just like eggs, they’re pretty easy to learn to cook. That’s why is frustrating to see breakfast cooks who don’t know how to cook bacon or an egg. |
