Editorial: Peragine, Deaton for Palm Beach Gardens City Council

The Palm Beach Post comes out and backs the challengers in the two seats up in the City of Palm Beach Gardens. And the reason revolves on the current Commission and administration's refusal to broadcast meetings. The excuses for not doing so fall flat on an increasing tech-savvy, or a least tech-using, constituency. Most people know that meetings can be broadcast and archived, and that most communities of any size do so as a matter of course. I happen to know one of the incumbents and I wish her well, but a more open attitude to public engagement would have served her well. We'll see what the public has to say on election day.
