Gulf Stream millionaire sues Delray Beach for removing his...

Unlike West Palm Beach and Lake Worth, other Palm Beach County municipalities are going forward with election contests this March. And along with elections come campaigns and certain levels of shenanigans. Here there is a candidate in Gulf Stream, who has quite a history and has some deep pockets, who is placing his political signs in Delray Beach for visibility. Delray Beach workers, in turn, are removing them saying that the only signs that can be put up in the city are for Delray Beach candidates. Click title for link to article. Here is a little bit about the Gulfstream candidate.
O’Boyle, who moved to Gulf Stream from New Jersey where he made millions in real estate development, became known as “Banner Man” when he hired a plane to fly over the Palm Beach County Courthouse trailing signs blasting then-State Attorney Michael McAuliffe. He was angry McAuliffe prosecuted his daughter for drunk driving. He assisted - and then hindered - Dave Aronberg in his successful campaign to became state attorney. He also got into a very public battle with Gulf Stream by painting cartoons on his house, mocking city officials. He has buried Aronberg’s office and other local governments with public records requests.
