The formation of the Citizens Against Unfair Taxation PAC...

Their paperwork was filed with the Supervisor of Elections office. Click here and you will see a page with this at its center.
Notice that the dissolved Citizen's Come First PAC, one of the handful of PACs this city has spawned over the past years is second on the list. They also registered with the County years ago upon their formation. The traditional method in a city election is to register with the City Clerk's office. The fact that this new PAC registered with the county isn't wrong, it's just a little bit sneaky since it takes a little more work to find whether a PAC has been formed on not, at least with City issues.

Here are the reports that have been filed since the formation of Citizens Against Higher Taxation.

June 20th:

Katie McGiveron is its Chairperson. We don't know who the Treasurer is as the County filed reports do not show signatures. If you look down the list of contributors, you see the last-standing pillars of the cabal. Notable is Dennis Dorsey, former Mayor and current resident of Atlantis, even though the 33462 zip code shows up as Lake Worth. He most definitely lives within the Great Walled City.

Interesting to note that Mr. Dorsey contributed $150 to this PAC - Citizen's Against Unfair Taxation since he does live in Atlantis and pays almost $13,000 a year in taxes there.
He also owns property in North Palm Beach.
I couldn't find any other property in Lake Worth that he may own, unless it's under a corporate name and that would take a little more research.

There was an anonymous comment posted yesterday about an alleged incident in August of 2013 which stated that Mr. Dorsey became agitated while talking to elected officials and used the "n" word, at which time he was escorted out of City Hall. Mr. Dorsey called to tell me this morning that this was incorrect and referred to an incident with Mr. Addison some time ago when he was asked to leave a meeting. He asked that I take that comment down, which I have and I have written this correction. However, I have heard reports of this incident and others continue to submit comments, anonymously, about it. I will not publish any more allegations unless someone attaches their real name to the comment and presents me with a report from the Sheriff to verify that it actually happened. For now, I am taking Mr. Dorsey's word that it didn't happen.
