About ten years ago, East Cooper City watched as the City gave permission to NEXTEL Communications to construct a Tower on our City owned Public Works property. Very near the sidewalk and right in our very own backyards! The City Administrators had signed the lease two months PRIOR to our being told about this impending construction! Very sneaky, huh? Oh! But the City receives that "income" from NEXTEL!
The residents did very loudly oppose this Nextel Tower. Filled the City Hall auditorium with their protests but, remember, it was too late! The lease was already signed. City Hall Administrators were very kindly permitting us to 'VENT' or so they thought!
We did succeed in getting an ugly "Flag Pole" instead of an ugly tower. BUT: where is the American Flag which is to fly from this "Flag Pole"? Has any resident noticed that the AMERICAN FLAG is missing from this Pole? Has any resident complained to City Hall that the American Flag has been missing for more than a month?
Well, Gladys Wilson has! She may not be a City Commissioner any longer but she certainly has NEVER STOPPED looking after what is going on in her neighborhood. Health, Safety and Welfare of the residents of Cooper City has always been at the forefront of her concerns with City Hall.
We have an AMERICAN FLAG FLYING ON THE MOON but can't keep one flying on an ugly NEXTEL flag pole in Cooper City? HOW DESPICABLY SAD!
