[UPDATE] Remember this paragraph from Palm Beach Post endorsement of Commissioner McVoy?

[UPDATE: I emailed Stacey Singer about the issue below and she hasn't gotten back to me. What made me think about this today was a pull quote in the Post editorial today: "Voters deserve more from those who may govern than careful scripting, edited message". I was sitting down at the time and, yes, I am fine. If you're familiar with what happened you know what I'm referring to. Here is the post from April 5th:]

Stacey Singer of The Palm Beach Post editorial board wrote the endorsement for Commissioner McVoy recommending his re-election in the City of Lake Worth. Here is a paragraph from the endorsement on March 3rd, one week prior to election day:

     For a couple of years, [emphasis added] City Manager Mike [sic] Bornstein has been hosting a private buffet for commissioners before the public meeting. Bornstein insists the meetings are innocent of Sunshine Law violations. That’s probably true, but McVoy has asked the county’s inspector general for an opinion.

Remember now, at no time has this issue of a "private buffet" ever been raised in The Palm Beach Post, neither as a news story nor in the editorial section; or anywhere else for that matter. Not once. If McVoy was so troubled by this "private buffet" why did he wait until February 23rd (15 days prior to election day) to address this issue? On what day did McVoy sit down with the Post editorial board and how soon after his "request for a ruling" from the Office of the Inspector General?

Interesting timing, isn't it? McVoy raises the question before anyone had time to give an answer. And why did Commissioner McVoy compose his "request for a ruling" on Friday, February 20th and not send it until the following Monday at 3:56 p.m. near the conclusion of the business day at the Office of the Inspector General?

Here is the opening paragraph from Stacey Singer's endorsement of McVoy:

     The key issue in Lake Worth’s municipal election seems to be trust, or the lack thereof. The question is, which candidates are best positioned to improve that trust?
