Lake Worth official wants city commission to take control of Community Redevelopment Agency

Click title for PBP article. You know how I feel about this. I think Commissioner Golden is conflicted on many levels due to her association with the LW Community Development Corporation.

Check this out:




Do you think that a City Commissioner that lent $25,000 to a non-profit agency would have an interest in making sure that agency had a stream of funding to repay the obligation?  Doesn't the LWCDC already get funding from the NSP2 grant that the CRA administers?  How could Commissioner Golden objectively administer those monies without conflicting with her long-standing association with the LWCDC?

By the way, this is the third attempt at this sort of takeover.
