Town of Palm Beach Council President Michael Pucillo: telling it like it is

In a story by Lulu Ramadan in the Palm Beach Daily News (aka, The Shiny Sheet) titled, "Town Council to watch, wait as projects take shape across Intracoastal" is this excerpt addressing residents concern over development projects in West Palm Beach:
     Council President Michael Pucillo suggested limiting council action to “monitoring and staying informed.”
     “There is a significant issue for one municipality to get involved in another municipality,” [emphasis added] Pucillo said. “I think we would take some offense if other municipalities started doing that with us.”
     Pucillo said that individuals have the right to support the lawsuits or object to development, but “as a governmental entity we have to be extremely careful about intervening in the affairs of another municipality.”
 Well said.
