Like one-night stands, perpetual election cycles spoil relations

Insightful analysis of our political rough and tumble schedule of elections in Lake Worth by Tony Plakas. Click title for link. We need to establish a committee to examine and make recommendations for changes to our City Charter. One of those changes can be to fix the timing and frequency of elections. The other thing we need to look at is having four Commission seats be proportionally represented as districts. Those seats would only be elected from their district. Then we could have three at-large seats, with the Mayor being one of them. All things worth looking into as the Charter hasn't been looked at holistically for a very long time.

We do have a bad case of electoral dysfunction.
