Someone, Please help! Can anyone find another reason why McVoy opposed the bond referendum last year?

Thank You for visiting today and after reading this blog post please scroll down for another post today titled,
What Commissioner McVoy said and why people can’t stop talking about it, scratching their heads and wondering, “Huh?” [or use this link]
If you didn’t know, McVoy has a PhD. He reminds people all the time about that.

His latest reason for opposing the bond referendum last November to fix our roads will have your head spinning: potholes are good for traffic calming. Not kidding. Apparently McVoy didn’t read this from Rick Christie, the editor at the Post:

“Lake Worth is poised for some major upgrades following residents’ approval — by a whopping 69 percent [emphasis added] — of a $40 million road repair bond; and a little help from the sales tax hike.” . . .

“But the other reason city residents may soon be dancing in those repaired streets is because of the penny increase in the sales tax. Part of the proceeds — about $540 million — over the next decade will be split among the county’s 39 municipalities.
     That could be another $10 million toward roads, parks and other infrastructure repair in the city. While officials in cities like Palm Beach Gardens and Boca Raton snubbed the sales tax largesse, Lake Worth did no such thing. And residents should reap the benefits.

Question: Why can’t McVoy just admit he was wrong to oppose the bond and done more to help the City?

Wouldn’t that be a good question at the Playhouse debate tomorrow? And the follow-up question can be, “If the City’s bond plan was such a bad idea, why didn’t you come up with a plan of your own?”

Yours Truly is grateful to the voters of Lake Worth for doing what was necessary to move our City forward last November 8th. On March 14th is another important election. Are you tired of all the obstructionism and delay tactics?
