Axthetax clones, don't try to twist the facts to suit your own agenda. It makes you sound and look more pathetic than you already are.

What a load of crap!
Doug Guetzloe is a hero to the people. He has successfully pinned back the ears of slugs like you for years.
He's never taken a dime he hasn't earned and he has never wavered in his opposition to the choo-choo train special interest payoffs.
The people believe in Doug and they should.
That's why he's won every battle - the people trust him and he's honest.
People like this Charlie Klein guy are right on!
God Bless Doug Guetzloe and all his axe the tax supporters.
Crotty called 'em all "knuckle-dragging gadflies" when Geutlzoe beat Mobility 2020.
Call 'em names when you can't when.

The crime in Orlando is not that much different that comparable size cities across the country. I live in downtown so yes I have been there. Again another 1975 wannabe.

I think you need to recheck your crime figures. Crime is growing at record rates in Orlando. It soundls like you are saying that Orlando needs to keep up with the crime rate of other cities? Crime is good and we shouldn't get bogged down with controlling it?

Orlando - the world class city with world class crime!!

Is this what you want for Orlando????

From the words of an elected politician:

TRAINS DON'T VOTE, PEOPLE DO

It's all about Florida ethanol and freight from the Port of Miami.
This project was NEVER about commuter rail.

I agree. The CSX-CFL Commuter Rail deal has nothing to do with improving commuter transportation. It has everything to do with tax dollars going to CSX a private corporation.

You need to take your medicine more often.
Doug Guetzloe is THE leader against rail and taxes.
The only people that don't like Doug Guetzloe are the ones who are either jeolous of him or afraid of him.
You are clearly one or the other.
You think anyone really cares what this rag says about him?
The truth is easy to determine.
Has Doug ever supported a tax?
NO.
Has Doug ever supported rail?
NO.
Have people tried to buy him off?
YES.
Have they succeeded?
NO.
Believing the "news" from this anti-taxpayer, humanist, liberal piece of crap paper shows your IQ to be in the low 50's.
Go "get a life" in the real world.
Guetzloe's a hero.

Quiet Rockland Urges America To REJECT Robert A.(“Bobby”) Sturgell As FAA Administrator

In the lyrics of Dewey Bunnell of the group America, from the 1971 song “Sandman”:

“All the planes have been – grounded”.

It’s time to bring back America. The REAL America. The FAA is more broken than the cracked airplanes it purports to regulate. FAA Head “Bobby” Sturgell is a losing legacy case – the son of J. Edgar Hoover’s personal secretary, planted years later at the FAA, an agency that the powers-that-be assumed Sturgell could never muck up.

Well, that failed legacy case named “Bobby” Sturgell DID muck it all up. Big time. The United States aviation system is now at flashpoint crisis.

Enter, Sandman.

Quiet Rockland opposes Robert A.“Bobby” Sturgell’s confirmation as FAA Administrator. Moreover, Quiet Rockland calls for “Bobby” Sturgell’s SUMMARY REMOVAL as Acting FAA Administrator.

“Bobby” Sturgell is an abominable public official. The current regime of the FAA is a dismal nightmare. The FAA is a guileful federal agency still dwelling in the pocket of industry. Together, Sturgell, the FAA, and the airlines derisively and contemptuously laugh at you and me, the American people – the people to whom this country belongs.

But no more.

This spring started with cracked Southwest Airlines planes. The FAA allowed these planes to remain in revenue service. The FAA allowed passengers to fly in these cracked airplanes. And Southwest was more than happy to take money from passengers for flying in these cracked planes. Now but a few weeks later, at least four (4) airlines have filed for federal bankruptcy protection, with more bankruptcy filings that may follow. The airline industry is disintegrating before our eyes just like the tired old defective planes which they pretend to maintain.

This past week saw record numbers, in the thousands, of planes grounded. The groundings are “Bobby” Sturgell’s fault. The groundings are the direct result of a previously-illusory safety inspection regime and the astounding and unlawful regulatory ineptitude of the FAA, now under FBI investigation and Congressional investigation. The results of the groundings to the everyday American, were and are intolerable. Many thousands of travelers were stranded, with no end to the problem in sight.

This is what “Bobby” Sturgell would have all Americans endure for FIVE more years if he is confirmed as FAA Administrator. He MUST be joking.

NEWSFLASH!- FAA’S BOBBY STURGELL QUITS!

FAA ACTING ADMINISTRATOR “BOBBY” STURGELL EJECTS FROM HIS JOB IN DISGRACE

It’s now confirmed. According to a reliable source from a position high-up in the aviation community, one Robert Allan (“Bobby”) Sturgell recently verbally shared with at least two colleagues the following:

(1) Sturgell has ALREADY given notice that he will be leaving his FAA post as Acting Administrator, by, or in, November 2008; and

(2) Current FAA “Assistant Administrator For Regions And Center Operations” Ruth Leverenz will be “Acting” in Sturgell’s absence –(which quizzically therefore will make her the “Acting, Acting” Administrator!).

This story was scooped by Quiet Rockland, and first broke Friday, July 18, 2008. As of the date and time of this publication, virtually no other news outlets or bloggers have picked it up - but they all eventually will.(Sure – Now!).

The only media that are sure to NOT pick up the story at end of day, are the many aviation websites bought and paid-for by the airline industry, thereby inclined to further cover-up for the many failures of “Bobby” Sturgell’s awful FAA tenure and regime.

Sturgell’s shamed flight from his job, is corroborated by the 2 recent near-misses at JFK airport; FAA payment of US$100,000 bonuses to every Beavis and Butthead who is willing to say “I Was A Teen-Age Air Traffic Controller”; and most noticeably, Sturgell’s apparent recent absence at key FAA events. For example, it is reported that in a recent press conference regarding FAA-claimed safety-related changes to exploding fuel tanks, John Hickey (FAA Aircraft Certification Service, Director, AIR-1) spoke for FAA, with apparently no sign of Bobby Sturgell present. Similarly, it is reported that the July 17, 2008 NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign meeting in D.C. was headed by FAA COO Hank Krakowski, and not by Bobby Sturgell.

While we used to ask,“Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego”- we can now ask “Where in the world is Bobby Sturgell?”.

The answer?– probably pounding the pavement handing out his résumé and doing that at which he is best - being an aeromercantile sycophant.

Goodbye, Bobby.

And oh yeah – by the way. Who’s “Top Gun” now?

Postscript:

I love how a blog just went up this early morning, July 21, 2008, on the ‘charterX’ website, wherein FAA spokeswoman “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia” Adams perpetuated the predictable-enough FAA lie to the media. She denied that Sturgell gave his departure notice [when in fact Sturgell DID already give notice]- and then Marcia pretended not to recognize either my name, or Quiet Rockland’s name.

That’s Big and Rich! Marcia’s the FAA’s new comedienne - just like Ruth Buzzi Leverenz. I’m going to have fun with both of them.

I have the written statements from multiple persons supporting the fact that Sturgell gave notice and identified Leverenz as his successor, physically in front of me as I type this document. The information I have came directly from the persons to whom Bobby The Sturg-Eel spoke.

Bring it on, FAA.
