Excerpt from the Lake Worth Herald, June 5, 2014

Excerpt from the Lake Worth Herald, June 5, 2014, in an article titled: “Voters to Decide Bond Issue Goes to Polls August 26th” (to read entire article go to LWHerald.com or you can purchase the paper at many locations including 600 Lake Ave just west of Starbucks):

“McVoy [Commissioner Christopher McVoy] said he didn't think we were ready to put this before the voters. McVoy has stated all along he believes the city should first assess its vulnerabilities to climate change and the impending sea level rise that could have a detrimental effect on millions of dollars of improvements.
     Commissioner Andy Amoroso produced a report from 2009 studying the possible effects of climate change. The commission in 2009, which included JoAnn Golden didn't find the results of the study ALARMING ENOUGH TO TAKE ANY SPECIAL MEASURES [emphasis added] when rebuilding the casino building.
     Former Commissioner Golden stood before the commission and echoed McVoy's sentiments about not moving forward until a study was done and both McVoy and Golden suggested following the lead of Hoboken, NJ.”
Sounds good to me!
The article goes on to cite Commissioner John Szerdi, Vice Mayor Scott Maxwell, and Mayor Pam Triolo who along with Commissioner Andy Amoroso voted 4 to 1 to approve the bond referendum on August 26th.
