Have we had enough?

Since the March 2011 Election. the following capable, loyal city employees are now all gone because of intimidation, constant criticism and lack of respect shown by Nancy Oakley, District 3 Commissioner and Robin Vander Velde, District 4 Commissioner:  

Mike Maxemow - Forced out as Community Services director after 35 years service, due to the elimination of his position - violation of City charter. 
Denise Schlegel - Resigned as City Clerk after 22 years.
Deborah Cline - Forced out as human Resource Manager after 13 years, due to the elimination of her position - violation of City Charter.  
Bill Mallory - Recently resigned as Interim city Manager after 33 weeks and has resigned as Fire Chief after 2 years.
Monica Mitchell - Resigned as Finance director after 7 years.
Michael Connelly - Fired as City Attorney after 5 years.
Paula Cohen - Resigned as Development Director after 8 years.


Are you willing to let this chaos continue?  Do you think Nancy Oakley and Robin Vander Velde are the right people to act in the best interests of Madeira Beach Residents?  We would like to hear your comments and take the poll at the right.
