Latest news about bond referendum from the City, official language, and what you won't read in The Palm Beach Post

Use this link for the latest news from the City; an excerpt:

"Voters will be asked to either vote for, or against, authorizing the City of Lake Worth to issue a forty million dollar bond exclusively for the purpose of improving our neighborhood streets."

Here is the official language for the bond referendum on November 8th:

Bonds for Road Improvement Projects in Lake Worth

Shall the City be authorized to issue general obligation bonds for the exclusive purpose of improving local roadways and eliminating potholes in an amount not to exceed forty million dollars, payable from annual ad valorem taxes maturing no later than thirty years from the date of each issuance and bearing interest at a rate not exceeding the maximum legal rate with all expenditures reviewed by a citizens advisory committee?

For bonds________ Against bonds________ 

The local press (other than The Lake Worth Herald) will not report this very crucial fact:

Vice Mayor Scott Maxwell's challenge on July 7th was accepted by critic (Mrs. McGiveron of the CAUT PAC) of the City's bond and had twelve (12) days to complete it prior to the Commission meeting on July 19th. All they had to do was craft their own, alternate, ballot language for the City Commission to consider. They failed or maybe didn't even try.

However, just minutes after Maxwell's challenge citizen/reporter Peggy Fisher took this video of Commissioner Chris McVoy, PhD, and asked him two questions:
"Maybe we can get Commissioner McVoy's input about what he proposed?"
"I want his plan. I haven't heard his plan?"
Both questions remain unanswered. So much for leadership.
