The Team
Meet the Watchdogs
Kyle
L’Hommedieu
Chair
I've always had a strong sense for reading people and a built-in BS detector. It was going off full blast at my very first council meeting. I couldn’t believe how disrespectful the mayor and several council members were toward the public. That experience is exactly what sparked the creation of the Take Out The Trash Committee.
Marie Kavanaugh
Vice Chair
Crowned Our Social Media Queen with 1,500,000 views and counting!
I'm a retired contract investigator with a career rooted in the defense and aerospace industry, where I conducted vendor and contract audits to ensure compliance with contractual terms and technical specifications. I know how to identify waste, expose corruption, and hold systems accountable. I can’t sit back and ignore what’s happening in Cape Coral. I’m stepping up to help drive real, lasting change through transparency, oversight, and integrity.
Anne
Berchtold
Secretary
40 years in the education realm gave me experience in teaching from elementary to adjunct professor. I also sat on the board of directors of a small educational research group.
Treasurer
Proud American, mom, wife, controller, and now treasurer. I stepped in to support the important work of this committee because the citizens of Cape Coral deserve better.
