[By Request . . . ] Former Lake Worth Commissioner JoAnn Golden said, "Hopefully my public comment won't be commented on publicly. . .

. . .because I didn't think that's what public comments were about."

So we're to conclude that public comment is to be made but not heard? Then what is the purpose of public comment? This brilliant statement by Golden was uttered at a Lake Worth city commission meeting on 9/23. You can hear it for yourself at the 20 second mark in the video below:

Golden also makes a claim about there being no public comment on the budget that is debunked by Peggy Fisher (you can see that for yourself at the 1:25 mark on the video; later in her comments she references Commissioner McVoy's failed effort to raise the City's electric rates).

But getting back to Golden, public comment is public and to suggest otherwise is jabber. She might still be smarting from her appearance at the city commission meeting on Tuesday 9/1. At the 1:20 mark in the video below she states that if refugees landed on our Lake Worth beach she believes your response as a City resident would be to "probably take out guns and get rid of 'em". Not kidding.
Very charming, isn't it? And note in the video she makes reference to 'toning down the rhetoric' or something like that. Makes me wonder if she's looked in a mirror any time recently.
