This is from the latest of the long string of beat reporters for Lake Worth, Chris Persaud, sent by the Palm Beach Post to cover issues here. Seems to me that we are veering towards another Willie Howard with this reporter. The city has come up with a solution to our long-term infrastructure and is put in a difficult place. In order to issue General Obligation bonds to fund the work, it needs its citizenry to vote affirmatively (50 percent plus 1 at least) to go ahead with the program. To do so, it needs to educate its voters, while not directly advocating for the bond. And the City Manager is right, it is impossible to send out bundles of information on all the assumptions and risks inherent in such an obligation.
My recommendation to you is to do your best to attend the presentations being put on by the City Administration this Friday at the Lake Worth Playhouse, 7 p.m. and this Saturday at the First Congregational Church at 5 p.m. Much more information can be provided in that format and questions will be allowed. I will be there to capture the events on video and upload them on YouTube if you can't make it.
The greatest absurdity of the article is referring to the chair of the Lake Worth Yes PAC, Herman Robinson, as a "developer." We know in Lake Worth calling someone a "developer" is like waving a red cape at a bull. Their reputations here are below that of a lawyer and a used car salesperson. Click title for link to article.
