We can't thank all the members and non members who helped make this year's Jolly Roger Auction such a success. Approximately 150 people attended and many couldn't get in the door! 

Many people remarked how nice the brochure featured our donating businesses and said that they would be returning to this event next year. We had over nine groups that had previously attended last year, and came back and spent big again. We have Cedar Key loyalists.

I am reading what seems to be a dime novel. The budget is being cut for all of the departments but EMS and Fire and they seem to be increasing theirs about $2.5 million. That is the new number that the new assessment will generate. I propose that a mileage log be used in every unit in the charge. They need to cut back if everyone else does, or do they?

The job situation, economy in general, plus the threat of Obama Care Co-pay at the VA will raise a lot. Everyone wants more money, even when there is none to get. 

Again this year there will not be a celebration at Cedar Key,what a  disappointment for all the people who paid good money to come to your town and  some of them came a long ways off and some out of state.
When booking a place to stay we are not informed when things are called off, yet these same people who use to put on the fireworks ect.. can take a trip to washington.
I would much rather have people leaving my town with a sweet memory instead of sour grapes and telling other people about their bad experience with Cedar Key’s no show.

I would like to say thank you to the many people who were so helpful and supportive in my recent campaign for City Commission here in Cedar Key, prominently my campaign workers and those who voted for me, but also a thank you to all of the folks who just voted.
And yes, I lost by 117 votes, but let that not be interpreted as some landslide victory for the loyal opposition. Had only 59 of those 117 voters cast their ballot for me instead of the incumbent, the final tally would have been VanLandingham 141, Dennison 140.
