Well, this happened. Sometimes you can be a little quick to forward on an email without thinking of the message it might portray to the people who are receiving it. That happened with the West Palm Beach DDA regarding All Aboard Florida. Click title for link.
Last week, when an All Aboard Florida representative asked the board of the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority for a resolution of support, authority chair Howard Pincus said the board would study draft wording and plan a vote for the November meeting. It would demur for now.
That’s why Pincus was surprised Monday when told by the Palm Beach Post that an email, sent Monday via the authority, urged people to come to a town hall meeting Wednesday and “show your support for All Aboard Florida!”
Within minutes, Pincus called back to say that the email was a mistake. The notice had been written by supporters of the rail project, and the DDA had forwarded it for informational purposes, without realizing it would appear the authority was endorsing All Aboard.
