Channel 12's eye-popping piece on March municipal elections...

Click title for link. All sorts of investigative report resources went into this report to determine that 36 of the 38 municipalities in Palm Beach County have their elections in March. The other two have them in February. No one has an election in November anymore since Lake Worth went back to March elections from the vote taken in 2012. There really isn't a story here. March elections make sense for municipalities since their issues can be discussed without static and interference from state and national races. Mayor Triolo does a good job here talking about the differences and the good things that are going on here. But why would Channel 12 think having everyone vote in November for every level of government be a good thing?
