Our Former Mayor of Three and a Half Months has a new job - Minister of Misinformation:

An e-mail sent out by the defeated former Mayor, a guest in our community, is filled with misinformation.  The only items on tonight's agenda are those budget cuts - SUGGESTED BY THE CITY MANAGER - so the special fire assessment can be repealed.  It is also a time that the Commission can review and give direction on the casino and beach project - which currently is being constructed in a way that would allow a stand-alone second floor restaurant.  If that is not the wish of the current Commission, they need to tell Morganti and make sure there is provision for a two-story anchor restaurant - or money will be spent uselessly.

Height restrictions are not being discussed at this meeting and will be the subject of a joint meeting between the City Commission/ Planning and Zoning Board and Historic Resource Preservation Board - in a WORK SESSION next Wednesday, November 30th.  When height limitations are discussed, it won't be about raising the height limits to 65' "citywide."  There is a very reasonable and responsible proposal for areas meeting certain characteristics and standards that may allow for increased height over the current Draconian height limitations that make Lake Worth a location that new investment overlooks.

Again, "polling of the Commission" outside of a public meeting is a violation of the Sunshine Law -apparently Ms. Waterman thought that was the way business was done here.  Hmmmm.  As long as adequate notice is given, the City Manager can change the nature of the meeting - whether it is a work session or a special meeting.  And, not surprising coming from someone fixated on the importance of titles, but the position of VICE MAYOR holds no additional power than any other Commissioner - it is an honorary title that confers no authority other than that person is going to be the one running the meeting if the elected Mayor is absent.

Yes, come "witness the behavior of your elected officials" tonight - you will see a much better-suited group than was there before, one that respects the role of the public in the decision-making process.

This blast e-mail also comes from her "watermanformayor" account and I am not sure you can do that once an election is over and done with...
