His vision and restoration of this once downtrodden neighborhood is a true test to Michael's compassionate character, determination and ability to improve the quality of life for others. I've recently had the privilege of spending the day with Michael talking about his vision and policies. There is no doubt that Michael is an innovative, honest, and sincere leader in or out of political office.<br> I recently moved to the Garden District in DeLand, FL as one of Michael Arth's tenants in one of his restored craftsman style cottages.

Arth Sun, 02 Aug 2009 17:55:03 +0000 http://washingtonindependent.com/?p=49245#comment-57395 The solution for families and kids who are homeless is to reintegrate them into the community ASAP. For the adult homeless with mental illness or substance abuse issues who do not qualify for programs such as Housing First, the solution is to provide a full service community that meets their needs. <br><br>I regret that Ms. Caracelle perceived that I was drawing back from her handshake and I am sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought I had explained to her that I was drawing back from her cigarette smoke. I am allergic to anything in the deadly nightshade family, which includes tobacco. The allergic reaction causes my face to swell up and I bear an uncanny resemblance to the Elephant Man. I did not want to embarrass myself nor frighten Mr. Caracelle. The person she was referring to, as far as I know, is not incurring daily fines for either legal or illegal city laws, nor is he the president of the Garden District. He is the president of a homeowners association to which I am no longer associated. I wish her luck resolving her complaints with him.

I could not wait to meet this man as I live in one of his renovated homes. with in 10 seconds his arogance came out and embarrassed me but in truth embarrassed him self.. He was talking on how he wants to legalize marijuana as he pulled away from my hand shake because I smoke ciggerettes. He is behind the president of the garden district community, Frank Rueda, who does not even live in the state, is being fined on a daily basis for illegal city laws, and who will not disclose financial matters on where all the home owners monies are going to. His answer to the homeless and drug problems is to move them out not help them. Do you really want this man as a governor. I don't even want him as a neighbor!!!!!!

Nylen Tue, 07 Jul 2009 07:25:53 +0000 http://washingtonindependent.com/?p=49245#comment-41538 In a state with a government 'of the developers, by the developers, and for the developers' Michael Arth would certainly shake things up in Talahassee. His ideas on people-friendly urban and suburban development would, in the governor's mansion, cause many a heart ailment to manifest in the halls of the overly-fed and overpaid. Land development really is Topic #1 in Florida, directly linked to the # 1 'industry' in Florida -- paving, building and financing -- and Michael Arth would be a breath of fresh air. If you really want to see fireworks fly in Talahassee between the Republican/Developer hacks in the legislature and a guy who is absolutely not Politics as Usual, take a chance on Michael Arth.

He's extremely intelligent and creative, interested in almost everything, works like crazy, and actually executes successfully virtually everything he determines to do. He's idealistic, but practical when it comes down to putting ideas into practice. Like most, I'm very skeptical of his chances in a political world that normally requires a lot of money, connections, public name recognition, and, ideally, solid experience in previous elected office(s) to succeed in a campaign for any higher office. But Michael normally thinks bigger than anybody thinks he should, and then goes right ahead and succeeds. Aside from all the political odds making, he would actually make a good governor and push better and more effective ways of doing things than many established approaches that aren't working.<br><br>If nothing else, he has tremendous courage to tell the voters completely up front his thoughtful stands on all the issues, even when many are obviously unpopular. Thus, if he is able to garner enough resources to get significant media attention in the campaign, he will be able to smoke out the other candidates on a lot of tough issues.
