Translating the PBP Endorsement:

Freelance grant writer = unemployed supplicant for government money
Fresh Face = plucked from oblivion to disguise association with Cara Jennings, et al
Moderate tone = adopted the same priorities as her opponent
Free-spirit sensibility = disregards importance of legal judgments and liens levied against her
Experience in economic development = where?
Surprising Revival = successful efforts by the CRA that weren't thwarted by the City Commission
Lean budget years = residue from actions taken by those on the dais, the three that campaigned for her, which resulted in the largest decrease of property values for any municipality in Palm Beach County
Returned to Lake Worth = had no where else to go
Served on City's Marketing and Re-Branding Task Force = Appointed by her supporter Mulvehill, who quickly fed the information to the PBP, prompting a fluff piece announcing her triumphant return to Lake Worth last February
Understands the need to lower utility rates and keep PBSO = knows she can't get elected otherwise
Promises to avoid divisive and distracting issues = at least until after the election.
