'The People's Mayor' is also all business

If there are two things Naples Mayor Bill Barnett knows best, it’s what residents and visitors want his city to be, and how to sell cars. A used car salesman who moved his family to Naples in 1973 from White Plains, N.Y., he owned and operated Southwest Florida’s first Toyota dealership, selling new and used cars from 1975 to 1983. 

Ever since, he’s been in politics, serving either as a city councilman or the mayor for all but two years since his first successful campaign in 1984.
