You’d think the job of Mayor of Sanibel would be an easy gig — a happy, quiet, touristy town where the sun almost always shines. But for Mayor Kevin Ruane, it’s a 60-hours-a-week job that has taken him from our sugar sand shores to Tallahassee, and even Washington, D.C., to testify on behalf of Southwest Florida in front of State and Federal lawmakers.
Here, in this issue’s “Take Five,” Mayor Ruane answers five questions he had no prior knowledge of — and outlines how the leadership of Sanibel is planning for our future, while tending carefully to our present, with great responsibility and respect. It’s must reading and it’s yours right here.
