How to watch City Commission Live Streaming plus excerpts, highlights, and one low-light* at today's (9/6) meeting

To watch Lake Worth Commission meetings Live Streaming use this link at 6:00. Look on the right side of the page for "Video of Public Meetings" and click. If the video doesn't appear wait a few minutes and try again. Sometimes City meetings start a little late.

Expect a lecture about turtles tonight and a clever line for a pull quote in tomorrow's paper. Hopefully this won't take too much time. You'll be happy to know there's no attempt this week to sneak any kind of 'Resolution' about Lake Okeechobee or "Send The Water South!". Read about that embarrassment using this link. Here are excerpts from the agenda tonight:

Any meeting can go well into the night if any commissioner (use this link) decides to lecture "at great length" and "raise the question" as often as possible.
