Where the Citizens Against Unfair Taxation's door hangers came from...

Soon your doorknob may have a hanger from a Political Action Committee formed outside the borders of Lake Worth, FL. The name of this Outside Political group is 'Citizens Against Unfair Taxation' or CAUT. This Political group was formed by Katie McGiveron and City of Atlantis resident Dennis Dorsey. The CAUT door hanger on your door knob, in Lake Worth FL, was produced and printed in CALIFORNIA. Burbank, CA, actually. Burbank is 3,174 miles from Lake Worth, FL. This is according to their latest treasurer report filing - an amendment to a previous report. I guess they forgot they bought some fliers?

A very long trip for a flyer that wants to "educate" you on why our City is fine just fine the "Way It Is." Can we get a carbon footprint estimate on this shipment please?

Here is "About Us" from the company in California where Dorsey ordered his door hangers:

"Ten years ago, Got Print [GotPrint.com] started out as a small, family-run business in Toluca Lake, California, with a goal that would soon become a tradition: to provide fast, economical, and convenient service without sacrificing quality. In no time at all, this steadfast tradition helped us evolve into a continually growing and dependable company."

Are we to conclude that Dennis Dorsey, Katie McGiveron, Lynn Anderson, Laurence and Dee McNamara, Jo-Ann Golden, Commissioner McVoy [et al] believe Our City, Lake Worth, is incapable of reproducing the success of a small business like GotPrint right here in Lake Worth? I know plenty of local printers that would have liked to have this business, however small. I can even understand a Lake Worth business not wanting to take the work for political/business reasons, but they at least could have used a Palm Beach County printer.

Maybe when the bond passes and the improvements are done to the public infrastructure in the Park of Commerce, a dynamic printer like this could locate here, add to our industrial/commercial tax base and employ Lake Worth residents.
