Short video: A few of the speakers at the Palm Beach County Commission yesterday (April 5th)

Below is a list of speakers in the video that spoke in support of the Braves Spring Training baseball facility at John Prince Park. I wasn't able to attend the County meeting but was kept informed of what was happening. Later on and throughout the week will have videos of the meeting that occurred later on Tuesday at the Lake Worth City Commission meeting.

Was told that a number of those who showed up in opposition behaved quite rudely at the County Commission meeting and one of those people can be seen at the 9:40 mark in the video. The woman was probably unaware she was on video but this should serve as a wake-up call for people who attend government meetings: Behave yourself. How you act could reflect very badly both on the City of Lake Worth and the issue you are there to support or oppose (as well as all the other people in your group).

Here are the list of speakers so you can fast forward through the video if you wish:
  • Starts off with Vice Mayor Scott Maxwell
  • At 2:50 is Lake Worth business owner Dave Palumbo
  • At 5:00 is Mr. Mitchell
  • At 7:15 is Mr. Greg Rice 
  • At 9:30 is Lisa Maxwell
  • At 10:50 is former Lake Worth Commissioner Nadine Burns
The video is recorded off a TV screen so the quality is a bit poor but the audio is quite clear. Enjoy!
