This weeks excerpt from the Lake Worth Herald...

From the Editorial Page (10/2/14 edition):

"Recently, a seat was up for renewal and the person in the seat expressed interest in continuing, another person who sat on another board was bored and wanted to switch boards. The commissioner responsible for the appointment, had no qualms with appointing his friend to take the seat of a well qualified, active and hardworking member and leave the city with a less qualified, if qualified at all, volunteer board member while turning away a fully qualified, experienced member.
     This example shows just how dangerous individual appointments can be. There is no security for the city in board selections and it is time the commission reverses its position on board appointments.
     It is more work for the commission to interview every candidate, but boards are filled by consensus instead of friendship or political positions."
