Lot's of great news for Lake Worth utility customers from last night's (8/9) City Workshop: Be patient, the Herald will be out tomorrow

UPDATE: The video is available from the City Commission Workshop. Use this link and click "Video" for August 9th Budget Work Session.

Other than commercial trash pickup, a discussion that will continue, reports I've received are mostly good news about the City's funds (excerpt for the Beach Fund, of course, see the following blog post). Lake Worth's utility customers will be very happy. I was unable to attend the meeting but The Lake Worth Herald will have the news tomorrow. So be patient. Don't count on any news in the Post about this; but if they do report something it will be anything negative they can harp on.
The Herald will be out tomorrow. To subscribe use this link. The print edition comes out Friday: pick up at the City's newsstand at 600 Lake Ave. across from Starbucks.
Of course, the discussion about potholes, streets, and the November referendum is a topic of discussion and the Post's Kevin Thompson has this interesting line in his recent article vis-à-vis the July 7th workshop where Katie McGiveron acted out:

"The workshop was prematurely adjourned by Mayor Pam Triolo after resident Katie McGiveron shouted at commissioners, saying the city should have had an open dialogue about the bond issue."

So, now McGiveron is a "resident" and no longer president of the CAUT PAC? In the next article will she be a 'concerned resident' and later on a 'infrastructure expert'? And the Post still, conveniently, will not report on the challenge laid down by Vice Mayor Scott Maxwell for critics to come up with their own ideas and ballot language. Don't forget about this:The question for Commissioner Chris McVoy, PhD, at the 1:48 mark by citizen/reporter Peggy Fisher: "Where's his [McVoy's] plan? I haven't heard his plan." Silence.
