What to know about Lake Worth's $63.5 million bond referendum | www.mypalmbeachpost.com

Excellent summary of the LW2020 bond issue and ballot question. I like the approach used by the Post reporter of the claim/counter-claim format. People are also reminded that Dennis Dorsey is an Atlantis resident. Katie McGiveron is clearly on the defensive with this quote. Click title for link to article.
Katie McGiveron, who lives in Lake Osborne, doesn’t buy the city’s arguments. In June, she and Atlantis resident Dennis Dorsey formed Citizens Against Unfair Taxation, a campaign group to defeat Lake Worth 2020, the bond referendum. As of July 21, they’ve raised $2,150.
“It’s not that I hate Lake Worth,” McGiveron said, “It’s not a question of ‘We don’t have enough money.’ It’s more of a question of ‘You mismanaged the money I gave you.’” She doesn’t trust the city with the money, especially when the tax bill for homeowners will go up.
