Here it is! First article by a real beat reporter in Lake Worth since Lona O'Connor (it's been a long time folks)

Lake Worth mentioned WAY ABOVE THE FOLD in today's Sunday paper (5/24)

The story by Lake Worth beat reporter Kevin Thompson appears in the print edition on the front page of the 'B' section. Here is the on-line article.

It was Stacey Singer of the Post editorial board who told me in March of this year, and I'm paraphrasing here, that she had no idea what was going on in Lake Worth because they didn't have a reporter covering the City. Well now we do.

If there is good stuff happening in your neighborhood or a good story about your City of Lake Worth if you don't contact Mr. Thompson then that's your fault it doesn't get reported. I think we have a good, accurate report here; balanced and representing both sides of this very complex issue facing our City.

The 'other side', if you will, those opposed to any change, those afflicted with paralysis by analysis, and the many who oppose any discussion at all on how to fix the failed Casino complex business model will be spinning their story to Mr. Thompson: most likely daily phone calls, emails, whatever means they have to get his attention. Remember, these people are pros at spinning the media; been doing it a long time. The excuse that "we work and they don't" doesn't hold water any more. The future direction of the City in on the line.

Here is "Kevin's" contact information:

Here are the last reporters tasked with covering Lake Worth from most recent:

• Chris Persaud, who was actually an intern and not a beat reporter
• Eliot Kleinberg, the beat reporter for West Palm Beach worked briefly as a reporter in Lake Worth but was stretched too thin and went back to the West Palm beat
• Lona O'Connor did the Lake Worth beat until she was part of the last Post buyout and retired
• Willy Howard worked the beat for many years prior to him also taking the Post buyout and retiring
