I checked my email. Since 2021, I have emailed Commissioner Satcher 29 times about various Manatee County issues: The Animal Shelter, shelter volunteers, library policy, infrastructure, wetlands, development, Administrator Hopes, covid vaccine, sales tax, advisory board appointments, and many other topics. Out of those 29 emails, Mr. Satcher has not replied to a single one - ZERO. Not even a polite, copy/pasted standard response. Mr. Satcher earns a good paycheck from ALL taxpayers, he has good benefits for his family- also paid by all of us. He takes 90 minute lunches on the days he does work, but can't even take time to reply to email. We can do much better.

This is a great comment from a reader. Thank you for reading and for contributing to the discussion. - Marc
This is appalling and as commissioner I promise to ignore no one. I will respond to anyone who reaches out to me!
