Anonymous Comment Left Under "Sunshine" Post Above

[Earlier today, 2/12, I wrote a post about the Sunshine Law and how the law is being misinterpreted by some to keep the public uninformed on major issues facing our city. Under that post an anonymous, informed person wrote the following comment:]

I have it on good authority that McVoy was given proper and specific legal advice on how to effectively and properly deal with his "Johnny come lately, self righteous" concern about potentially violating the Sunshine Law. 

However, HE CHOSE TO NOT INFORM officers of NA's of this remedy, instead, he suggested that the candidate forums would be a direct violation of the Sunshine Laws and to protect himself and all others involved, he could not "ethically" participate in the South Palm Park meeting.

The email he sent to the neighborhood officers to this effect is probably available should someone like to see it.

Curiously he attended the meeting, AT THE LAST MINUTE, only after being informed by one of his "handlers" in a attendance; either Steve Elman, Jo-Ann Golden, Gael Silverblatt, Lynda Mahoney, Richard Stowe, et al, that his opponent had, in fact showed for the meeting and he'd better get his butt over to the meeting after all.

The significance of this is that Commissioner "Squeeky McClean" had recently attended a neighborhood association meeting where he knew his opponent was not going to be present.

And yes, this/his NA appearance came just days after Commissioner "McClean" had attend a four hour ethics class at PBSC where apparently he was finally able to get in touch with his ethical side.

Bottom line is this man attempts to hide behind the Sunshine Law to avoid being present to be held accountable for his record of wanting to increase taxes, increase electric rates, get rid of PBSO and BEING PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFEAT OF THE 20/20 ROAD AND INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN THAT JUST RECENTLY COST ANOTHER LAKE WORTH FAMILY THEIR HOME TO A FIRE THAT COULDN'T BE SAVED BECAUSE OF LACK OF FIRE HYDRANT PROTECTION!

Other things to consider are, he and his anarchist leaders, costing the city millions of dollars in legal fees and settlements over such things as the beach.

So yes, if I were him, I'd be looking for any loop hole or angle to avoid facing the citizens of Lake Worth during campaign season.
