venice my way by hieronymus crankshaft

Ya just can't make stuff like this up
These are actual, real, bona-fide, genuine letters that have been sent to city hall. We're not exactly sure who the writer really is, or even if he actually lives in Venice, but he's been sending unsigned "anonymous" letters to city hall for a couple of years now.  Since he won't give out his name, we've assigned him the nom de plume of Hieronymus Crankshaft.

We've chuckled over a number of these letters in the past, and the misanthropic missives have, on occasion, been passed around by city hall employees as well-deserved comedy relief. With the help of the city clerk's office, we will publish future Crankshaft letters as we acquire them, right here in Crankshaft's own section. We'll try to get hold of some of his best comedy gems from the past as well.

Marty Black is evil and corrupt
This one bypassed city hall and was sent directly to Venice Florida! dot com; Marty Black is a dictator out to get the unions and employees and won't listen to any attorney except Jeff Boone... actually, that last part is fairly accurate

Sharkey's is too expensive for me, so can we tear it down and put some condos there instead?
You can't even afford to get drunk there

We want the attorney general to investigate Herb Levine's mystical major powers
Levine and Maxine Barritt have telekinesis, Sue Land [sic] has a tree fetish, and the correct spelling is "cit5iznes" -- the 5 is silent

Starkey's is gouging us on food and drink prices - why the hell did we move here?
Starkey's [sic] is a rip-off, Lake Venice Golf Course is even worse, council is a bunch of liberal jerks
