The Cooper City Civic Group's Candidates Night Meeting took place tonight with three of the candidates missing. Melissa Magna, Gary Laufenberg and Jeff Green who sent their regrets but made no excuse for not attending! Like a death in the family!
This is the first time in 11 years that our Group has held Candidates Night and had candidates not appear. We can assume that the disrespect which those three showed our Group will remain the same if they were to be elected to the Commission. That is with complete and utter disrespect for the older folks in the City!
Melissa Magna, Gary Laufenberg and Jeff Green are the Mayor's picks to win this election. We all know the Mayor disrespects the Elders in Cooper City so these three reflect how she treats the Elders! The good news is: they will become Elders one day, too!!! Even better news will be that they did not win their seats on the Commission! Commissioners should show compassion and respect for ALL residents from the little children to the Elders!
Commissioner John Sims, Candidates Dan Barrett, David Nall and Commissioner Lisa Mallozzi attended and each had the opportunity to speak and answer questions for 15 minutes.
This length of time permitted them to freely express themselves as well as answer questions from the audience. The audience had some very pertinent questions to ask!
Everyone attending expressed how much they had learned and enjoyed meeting the candidates for a more relaxed period of time.
The meeting was moderated in a very professional manner
by Gladys Wilson. As she has done in all the previous years of the Civic Group Candidate Nights!
Monday, October 25th at 7 PM, The Davie/Cooper City Chamber of Commerce will present their Candidates Forum at Cooper City Hall. It will be interesting to actually hear Melissa Magna, Gary Laufenberg and Jeff Green talk about the issues which are important to the residents.
All Ms. Magna has said is that she would like to be able to continue to walk her dog at 5:30 am each day and feel safe. Gary said he is interested in keeping the Broward School Boundaries in order. (City Commissioners do not perform those duties, The Broward School Board does!). Jeff Green has not made a statement on anything of great importance or else this writer would remember! So, we look forward to Monday's Forum and to hear the sound of their voices and what they have to say!
Tuesday, Oct. 26 at 6 PM will be the Cooper City Commission Meeting.
