The following is a message left on Lynn Andersen's blog by Katie McGiveron on Friday, January 3, of this new year. She was upset about Scott Maxwell's appearance on Channel 12 in a story from reporter Michael Buczyner on the second of January. Her advice to Commissioner Scott Maxwell is as follows:
Katie McGiveron writes: "Jesus Fuc$ing CHRIST!!! A message to Scott and the rest of the walking brain-dead on the Commission- SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT HOW GODDAMNED BAD LAKE WORTH IS !!!! If the press wants to pump you for ratings, politely REFUSE to give an interview!! Unless you can show Lake Worth in a positive light SHUT YOUR STUPID MOUTHS !! Katie Mcgiveron"
Well, we thought it would be interesting to go back through Lynn Andersen's blog and find some examples of Katie McGiveron writing about Lake Worth "in a positive light."
Here are just a few:
On March 6, 2013 Katie McGiveron wrote on Andersen's blog: "Mike Bornstein, William Waters, Pam Triolo, Andy Amoroso, John Zerti, Scott Maxwel, I, Katie Mcgiveron, am TOTALLY embarrassed for you. And for the rest of the citizens out there, keep trying to keep our city a great place to live, in spite of these disappointing people who are supposed to be our city staff and elected officials."
On March 13, 2013 Katie McGiveron wrote: "Greg, your side lied through their teeth, mooned the law and had the Palm Beach Post and the Lake Worth Herald performing for you like blind circus monkeys. You didn't have the balls to say 'Hey,we think that 65 feet would be better for our city than 45 and 35 feet in this area.' Thank God for HONEST, TRUTHFUL blogs like this one. People, we need a Commission that listens to the majority here in Lake Worth, not Greg Rice and his small and depressing band of bullshit slingers. Katie Mcgiveron"
On March 18, 2013 Katie McGiveron wrote: "Chip [Guthrie], you and Mary [Lindsey] and Greg [Rice] and Loretta [Sharpe] and Wes [Blackman] and Herman [Robinson], all of your supporters and your people are true bullshit slingers. You are common liars. You are law breakers. You should be ashamed, but you have no conscience. You managed to confuse a lot of people. What a low group you all are. No pun intended. Katie Mcgiveron"
On March 19, 2013 Katie McGiveron wrote: "Chip [Guthrie] - I have no intention of showing the NO supporters any respect. Why should I? Why should anyone ? When the NO supporters run an honest campaign on the merits of their beliefs, then you will have earned respect. Until then, go bite each other. You suck. Katie Mcgiveron"
On June 16, 2013 Katie McGiveron wrote: "This is willful neglect. This Commission has a lot to answer for. Hundreds of thousands spent to fix this pool [Lake Worth Casino pool] when it didn't need to be fixed! The abuse is criminal. The lies surrounding this pool are monumental.I will be speaking to this at the next Commission meeting. Come join me, if anybody else out there even gives a damn. Katie Mcgiveron"
On June 19, 2013 Katie McGiveron wrote: "As for 'doing good', rattling your cage is enough good done for one day. Your irritation makes me smile. Katie Mcgiveron"
On November 8, 2013 Katie McGiveron wrote: "I am sick to death of the city of Lake Worth being allowed to look like a homeless camp. I don't see homeless panhandlers on the corner of Worth Avenue and Ocean. I don't see bums huddled asleep in any of the Vias in Palm Beach.
Bradshaw needs to be kicked out on his worthless ass. Enough. Katie Mcgiveron"
Mind you, this is just a tiny sample of Katie McGiveron and painting Lake Worth "in a positive light." Note in order she attacks: Commissioner Scott Maxwell, City Manager Michael Bornstein, William Waters, Mayor Pam Triolo, Commissioner Andy Amoroso, Commissioner John Szerdi, Greg Rice, Loretta Sharpe, Wes Blackman, Herman Robinson.....
There is much, much more. Too much for right now.
Except for this enlightening bit from Lynn Andersen herself, her character analysis of Katie McGiveron:
On November 8, 2013 Lynn Andersen said, "I do want to say this--Katie is NOT bitter in any way. She expresses her opinions and does so matter of factly. She is a happy, go lucky gal who is serious on LW issues and speaks out."
We beg to differ on your analysis, Lynn.
