News segment by WPTV's Alex Hagan in Lake Worth: Why aren't potholes getting fixed two residents wonder—The answer is easy

Here is why: The "LW2020" Bond vote that would have made money available to fix the City's streets failed by just 25 votes in 2014. A former City mayor who moved to the Great Walled City of Atlantis many years ago joined up with a City resident to form a PAC that defeated the bond vote. Read about that using this link. Remember these yard signs:

If you voted AGAINST the "LW2020" Bond you voted to NOT FIX all the roads and potholes.

Now you know why those potholes aren't getting fixed.

Here are two excepts from the text of the news segment by NBC5/WPTV's Alex Hagan:

     "They're all over our area this time of year, but on 2nd Avenue South in Lake Worth, they are severe.
     'Absolutely! I have never seen anything like that,' says Else Kekki of Lake Worth.
     Kekki says a stretch outside her home between Dixie Highway and J Street isn't getting better. She's not alone along this block. Randy Ferguson says just about everybody's had alignment issues. After driving down J Street daily the repairs have put a dent in his wallet."

[and. . .]

     "Lake Worth's City Manager says they are aware of the problem, but funds aren't there. A community-wide discussion will be held soon on where to come up with the money."

Interestingly, one of the biggest opponents to the "LW2020" Bond vote recently wrote a Letter to the Editor at the Post:

If this letter writer was expecting an outpouring of public emotion for his selfish plight, he badly misjudged the public mood (as evidenced in the recent landslide March 15th elections).
