The International Union of Police Associations, AFL-CIO and IUPA Local 6015, the Port St. Lucie Police Officers’ Association has weighed in on another City Council race, has considered who will that them the best and we have 2 candidates that would support the police union over the people of Port St Lucie. The union is endorsing John Haugh & Shannon Martin.
Let us look at some of the strong positions of Mr. Haugh.
What sets you apart from the other candidates in your political race? I believe what sets me apart from other candidates is that I truly have the areas best interests at heart.
So the other candidates don’t care about the people of Port St Lucie??
Do you support layoffs? Layoffs are the worst possible solution. The City Council must have the thinking that “There are no jobs out there”.
So keep ripping the hard earned money from the people your heart goes out to?
What is your position on the inland port project? Explain your understanding of the project and the impacts it may have on our community? I can see the concerns on both sides of the issue. The area needs jobs and creating approximately 25,000 jobs would be vital to the area although if I was living next door to the project. I’m not sure if I would like the idea of over 7,000 acres being developed for an extended period of time either.
Was that a YES or a NO or a I HAVE NO CLUE?
Do you support allowing the City to hire a private company to manage and market the Civic Center?
There is a pending deal to sell the Civic Center to a group based in China. While I remain skeptical if the sale does go through I am hopeful that the group would work to develop the area into more of what it was originally intended to be.
HELLO, is there ever an answer to a question?
Do you support cuts and freezes in salaries? A salary freeze may be necessary because in these tough economic times it is hard to justify raises no matter how good the performance. Pay cuts are more difficult to support because often now a days only one family member is working because the other has lost their job, so that family is counting on that one salary.
What about taxpayers who face the same situations and need the money the City continues to take from us to give to others? Where is that BIG HEART for the people of Port St Lucie?
Do you support increases in employee contributions to benefits? This may be an necessary situation in order be able to afford to provide benefits. As I said before job protection and creation should be the ultimate goal. Whatever an employer and an employee can work out to make the situation mutually beneficial to both parties is the best solution.
Can this man not make a decision or is he backing special interest and just hiding it?
What is your position on Amendment 4 which will appear on the November ballot? Amendment 4 is a very important issue because basically if passed it will take power away from the City Council. Do we want trust those elected officials that they have our best interests at heart or do we want to slow things down?
Don’t the people of Port St Lucie deserve answers to questions and not double talk?? Is this man a decision maker??
Port St Lucie needs a candidate that isn’t tied to special interest and that can make decision. John Haugh is clearly NOT that candidate Let us NOT vote for another special interest candidate with no back bone.
