Estero Boulevard property owner Eddie Rood, who is on the upcoming recall ballot, has been using a slightly altered version of the Fort Myers Beach town logo on his campaign materials. Is he allowed to do that?
While Rood claims on his Facebook page that he was given permission to use the logo, we asked Town Manager Will McKannay if the town did in fact give him permission. Here’s what McKannay had to say: “No. His request was denied. He was told he could appeal that decision with the Town Council. He has not done that yet.”
Rood was not in attendance at the Monday Town Council meeting where he could have spoken about the issue during public comment.
Rood, Tom Brady and Rebecca Link are all on the November 4th recall ballot. Voters will first decide whether to recall John King and Karen Woodson before voting for two members to replace them if the recall is successful.
If more than 50% of the voters vote yes to recall King and Woodson it would be the first successful recall of an elected official ever in Lee County.
