Lighting cost casts shadow on Lake Worth beach renovation

Uhh, ahem, excuse me. The lack of transparency also casts a shadow.

I attended this meeting on Tuesday and the most significant portion of the meeting was where a designer formerly employed by the city and much-hailed by those of the dais, Micheal Singer Studios, sent Jason Bregman to the meeting to challenge some of the line item costs included in the entire beach budget. This was done, and apparently will be done, outside of having a contract and being paid by the city. City Manager Susan Stanton didn't like the interruption, or the challenge to previously agreed upon figures. It has come to the point that I can't trust any number or any "source of funds" that is proclaimed from 7 N. Dixie Hwy. More will be revealed...click title for link. Mr. Howard's whistling by the graveyard is heard loud and clear...and reflects the administration's line.
