Two excerpts from the Lake Worth Herald editorial titled, "Bond Issue Makes Strange Bedfellows", July 31, 2014

"What is surprising is the kin ships [sic] being developed among citizens of Lake Worth. Seldom is there an issue in Lake Worth which causes the have's and the have not's to play on the same team. It is apparent, some with the wherewithal to support the rebuilding of Lake Worth selfishly cry it will cost them too much. At the same time, there are those who pay no taxes who don't want the bond issue either. They may be afraid their property value will rise and they may have to pay some taxes.
     Standing across the aisle from those extremes are those who will see a tax increase and are willing to accept it to improve living conditions in Lake Worth.
     There are many in Lake Worth who think Lake Worth is only where they venture, and would never venture into many of the neighborhoods. Neighborhoods where there has never been adequate fire hydrants, sidewalks or paved streets. They don't feel a need to include those citizens in this 'diverse', 'Old Florida feel' community.
     This issue, like many issues preceding it will splinter the populous and this is exactly what a vocal minority in Lake Worth finds exciting and will always twist facts, issue misleading statements and attempt to make them sound like they came from some authority."

[and later...]

"All that can be said is 'paranoia strikes deep'. This group only tries to instill paranoia."

Also in the Lake Worth Herald this week, our own Pelican Pete had something to say:

"It is easy to sit back and be a sniper intent on halting improvement in the City. It takes more of a man to stand behind the positive, honest intent of those Elected to govern. Snipers exist in every level of government."
