Power was out again this morning...
...for about 40 minutes. It's becoming a Sunday ritual. It seemed to be a widespread outage according to most people I've talked to.

Golden becomes first to qualify for November election in Lake Worth
Feh. Click title for link. By the way, I would say that she doesn't represent the district she lives in, therein lies the problem. Click title for link. Personally, I thought that she might not run since she and Andy Amoroso share about the same base of support. Andy has supported her in both her previous campaigns, along with other similar candidates.

Utilities Customer Service - excerpts from City Manager Reports from 2009 and 2010
Has our feud and pull-out from FMPA contributed to the rudderless direction of this department? Why has so much time been wasted in addressing this issue? It's on the City Commission's agenda tonight - again.
On Channel 5 this morning...
They reported on the City Commission meeting tonight related to tenant selection for the "multi-million dollar renovation" of the historic building. The work being done to the building was described as a "facelift." Video accompanying the news report was from the beginning days of the project - when there was still a major portion of the building standing. This is how the building looked on July 25th.
I've contacted Channel 5 and forwarded these pictures to them.
This is what the Propaganda Post says about the meeting tonight. Notice the caption to the picture on the article page still says that a "shell" of a building remains. This is the picture that appears on the "front page" of their website this morning:
Back to Channel 5, apparently they got my message and the second airing of the story referred to the project only as a "major renovation" - an improvement over the first.

FYI from last night's meeting...
During the City Manager's comments, she reported that the Inspector General has asked for all sorts of follow-up documentation and information related to the beach project including how certain firms and people were selected/hired. She said that the city is providing the requested information by the end of this week. Apparently someone in the Inspector General office thinks where there is smoke, there might be fire.

Click title for link to PBP take on what happened at last night's Commission meeting. Here is an account by a friend that attended:
This item was thoroughly discussed at the July 16th City Commission meeting by the way.
Just listened to the new mayor tonight on streaming feed at lakeworth.org, and she shot down the expense of extending the consultants we already paid 70K to the utilities to improve customer non service. Comm. Golden wanted to give them an additional $123,000.00 tonight without any argument.
They have till Thursday to come with some facts and figures, which is what the Commission asked them to do for tonight’s meeting. They didn’t have them.
