Without further ado, to the news
in the Coastal Observer. . .

Long time Council person Patti Waller retained her seat Tuesday garnering 78.77 percent of the vote over challenger Paula Prudente.

Waller who has held the seat for 20 plus years was overwhelmingly re-elected by the voters of Palm Springs. Waller has made a career on the dais by doing what she honestly feels is best for the Village of Palm Springs and the residents of the Village.

Waller has always worked hard as a council member fighting to keep taxes in check and the Village of Palm Springs a great place to raise a family. Voters once again rewarded her with another term to do the work.

The Palm Springs Village Council under the leadership of Mayor Bev Smith is always striving to make Palm Springs a family friendly place to live and Waller has been an integral part of the team.


The editor(s) at The Palm Beach Post made no endorsement in the Village of Palm Springs’ election last Tuesday; not sure if any news at all was reported about this election. Palm Springs is the immediate municipality west of Lake Worth Beach.
