From the front page of The Lake Worth Herald, above the fold, dated March 17th, 2016

Following last Tuesday's election results Frank McAlonan called Amoroso and congratulated him.* Many will be pleased about this as the City and its residents pivot from election season to focusing on our pressing issues at hand.
     "Lake Worth voters made a bold statement Tuesday re-electing the three incumbents in a landslide. Mayor Pam Triolo garnered 62.66 percent of the vote in a three candidate race.
     Commissioner Scott Maxwell collected 64.65 percent of the vote soundly defeating Ryan Hartman and Commissioner Andy Amoroso pulled in 58.05 percent to defeat Frank McAlonan and retain his seat. 
     The voters showed they are satisfied with the progress Lake Worth has shown in the past four years.
     The campaigns of the victors were based on the accomplishments achieved while they have been in the majority on the City Commission. 
     The defeated candidates were supported by Commissioners Ryan Maier and Christopher McVoy who vote against the victors on many issues of City business. They have consistently argued to slow decision making and stall the business of the City."
