Fort Pierce commissioners choose Bradshaw as city manager.

Wheeler: As far as commenting of the Vero Beach City Elections, I just have to ask myself two questions.  1. Why so much interest there and so LITTLE for the Indian River County Commission?  2. Why isn't Bea Gardner running for City Council? Oh yea, I forgot she doesn't live in the City of Vero Beach. 

If the city has another referendum I would hope that the 60% customer base that lives outside the City would be able to vote also. 

They pay a lot of the bills for the City with the higher electric rates and receive none of the benefits.  There is the argument that FPL customers have no say in that electric company either, but that is false.  You have the right to buy stock and share in the risk and the profit.  That’s the American way or at least it used to be before governments started trying to protect all of us from ourselves.  Oh but I digress.  Sorry.  As Rhett Palmer's song says "I'm so sick of Politics".

Wilson:If you thought politics was rough in Indian River take a look at Ft. Pierce. Here are some exerts from blog post after former Indian River Shores City manager Robert Bradshaw received the support of the three white Commissioners over the objection of the two black Commissioners.
