FaceBook post and mailer from High Saint and Queasy- Deity District #2 Commissioner Cara Jennings notifying the world that she is hosting a Save Energy and Save $$$$ Workshop" - her and the City of Lake Worth "Conservation Guys"(branding?) - The dates and times are on the reverse. If you call or e-mail her know too that they are getting your voter ID information for what is surely going to be non-stop marches on the hapless and helpless City of Lake Worth. This is in the realm of a "best defense is a good offense" strategy and it is laid out by sophisticated people who know what they are doing and are professionals.
She knows she is weak on the utility rate issue and people are upset, how better to counter the swell of discontent than to shower the people with this announcement in advance of campaign criticism and in advance of filing to be a candidate - without using her campaign war chest and do it under the city's banner. She knew she was weak on neighborhood issues, so we get a fluff piece by the Palm Beach Post talking about her tropical oasis in her neighborhood, ignoring the fact that there is city-owned property less than a block away covered with graffiti and open to the "traveling" public.
How can anyone be against conservation? How can anyone be against "saving money?" Everyone likes "free" things and "$3,000 grants."
How are the three dates and corresponding events not campaign events? Have we no shame? Staff should be the contact for more information, not one of our elected officials WHOSE DISTRICT JUST HAPPENS TO BE UP FOR ELECTION THIS NOVEMBER!
Paid for by the city, I am sure, through the $.4 million dollar expected Conservation Program line item in this year's city budget, soon to be $1.4 million - a 255% increase coming from your pockets!
We need to understand the sophistication of this prolonged hostile takeover of Lake Worth, it's many tentacles and disciples.
