[UPDATE: There's been a change to the agenda next Tuesday. pastor Olive is now giving the invocation. If you recall, he's the one that hold's service in a downtown bar. Now we're guaranteed to have a CBS12 news van in town next week, if not earlier:
|
Who knows. God willing, maybe pastor Olive will seek the "common ground" by offering a true apology for his nonsense last year? |
Stay tuned but stay focused on the things that really matter; don't be distracted by the silly media chasing "shiny objects". We've got more important things to do. The original blog post from yesterday (12/31) follows:]
Use this link and scroll down to "City Commission - 2016" and click on "Full Version" to download the agenda. Note that Item 2 is now "Invocation
or Moment of Silence":
|
Note that under this new policy commissioners Ryan Maier and Chris McVoy are free to choose a "Moment of Silence" or have someone do an invocation. For instance, either of the two can invite The Insulting Atheist Preston Smith back to do another performance if they wish. |
Mayor Pam Triolo chose to have Pastor Kris Vos do the invocation. He is the presiding pastor at a newly "planted" church in Lake Worth called, "
Sunlight Community Church" located at 1325 North A Street here in the City. I know a lot of people are praying real hard this new church isn't anything like the last 'church' planted in our downtown:
|
There never was a "War on Jesus" or a "War on Religion" but it did make for an entertaining 2015 by pastor Olive! |
The hopefully brief "Sea Level Conference" presentation is item 5C on the agenda and there are two obligatory, politically helpful, and completely vapid items on the Consent Agenda (
A and
B). The big item, what most people undoubtedly will be
there to witness, is item 10B: "Ordinance No. 2016-04 - Second Reading and Quasi-Judicial Public Hearing - rezone a portion of the Gulf Stream hotel".
Tell everyone you know to
show up and support this zoning request. If you can't make it you can email any or all of the elected officials and have your comments read into the record.
Here is the link to contact the members of the city commission. It was a 3-2 vote at
First Reading and it's possible the next vote may (?) be 4-1 on January 5th. Here are the votes cast on December 8th:
"Stay Tuned", as they say.
