The truth keeps marching on...

In order to combat John Rinaldi's (owner of the Sabal Palm House Bed and Breakfast which is on the market, see previous post) claim that only 30% of the streets will be rebuilt under the Lake Worth 2020 plan, Bob Lepa researched that claim and posted his findings on Facebook. Here is what Lake Worth resident Bob Lepa determined after consulting with the city:

I guess some clarification is needed on one of my posts and I thank John A. Rinaldi for bringing it to my attention...
I had stated 90% of the roads would be paved/replaced with the $63 Million dollar bond. It turns out 72% of the CITY OWNED roads will be replaced/repaved.. The other 18% has already been done in the past couple of years on a piecemeal basis.
However John did say his figures showed only 30% of the roads would be done. His figures include County, State and Interstate roads... once they are subtracted from City ownership we are up to 72% that will be done and 90% when you count what has been done in the past several years.
Who knew the County and State had such a strong presence in the City and the maintenance of the the roads??
You see folks, numbers do lie,,,, we just need to check and recheck... Thanks John for having me check again for better accuracy...

So, the moral of the story is to always check claims being made and the motivations of those that make them.
