The Show Must Go On! Tonight at 6:00 is another very important public meeting at Lake Worth City Hall.


But everyone wants to know, “What happened at Lake Worth City Hall last night!”


The big item of the night lasted all of thirty-five seconds. Not kidding. Further down below is a blog post about that and much more (or click on this link).

In brief, the star of the show last night at the City Commission was Mr. Richard Pinsky. And outside City Hall the star was a reporter from WPBF named Anthony Kustura. Really an excellent news report.

And also worth noting, mark your calendar: The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) meeting rescheduled earlier this month will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 22nd at 6:00. This meeting will be held in the City Hall chambers.


The show must go on. . .

Tonight at City Hall, 6:00, are very interesting agenda items at the Planning & Zoning Board. And worth noting, because Cathy Turk is running for the District 2 seat in the March election that has left a vacancy on the P&Z.
