A few thoughts on the debate last night and become a subscriber to my YouTube Channel

Here is a link to my YouTube Channel. You can watch the videos from last night's (1/25) debate at the Beach Club at the City's Municipal Golf Course. It's a very nice facility. The one problem is, for some reason, the audio quality is not very good in the videos because of an echo effect. The videos I take at City Commission meetings are actually quite good. Here's one of a young woman who is very positive about the future of Lake Worth at a recent City Commission meeting for example: Now some observations and thoughts on the debate:

• Diane Jacques who is challenging Mayor Pam Triolo was not in attendance.
• Once again, it's all too clear how difficult a debate can be for elected officials. Whereas they have to be very accurate and be careful not to say anything which might affect a lawsuit the City is involved in, as one example, challengers like Frank McAlonan who is campaigning against Commissioner Amoroso have no such burden.
• At the 7:20 mark in the video below Ryan Hartman, an Anarchist, is asked a question and he answered. He was completely correct. Giving you the voters probably the only reason you need to not vote for him. His answer was, "I don't know." And then he sat down. Anyone running for a seat on the City Commission challenging Vice Mayor Scott Maxwell and truly cares to serve Lake Worth would have at least said he'll learn more and get back to us. He didn't even bother to do that. 
• Mr. Dorsey, who lives in the Great Walled City of Atlantis, was there. It was a lot of his money that defeated the "LW2020" bond. He had to avoid a lot of potholes in Lake Worth, coming and going from another city which has no such problems. It the bond passed a lot of City streets would look a lot like those in Atlantis.
• My dinner at the Beach Club was exceptional once again. 
• Everyone was polite to each other.
• Once again the issue of homelessness was a topic again. The City and elected officials were criticized repeatedly despite all the work the City has done. I could be wrong but don't think the City or any elected official was given credit for any of this work. And lastly. . .
• The debate was too long. Nobody is suggesting to not help the homeless but focusing so much time on any issue doesn't help the entire debate in Lake Worth. There are other issues too that people want to learn about. And that one issue took up a lot of time. Ergo the debate went on longer than it needed to be.

Check back later for more on the debate. Probably following The Palm Beach Post article. It will be interesting to read. The homeless issue will take up most of the article and maybe even a 6 letter word that begins with the letter 'C' and ends with 'W' will be used. I encourage you to watch the videos and learn more about what is happening in Lake Worth.
