Public corruption in Palm Beach County nets thirteen in a case called "Dirty Water."
"Operation "Dirty Water" found that an engineering contractor supplied municipal and county employees with Caribbean cruises, hunting trips to Michigan, expensive jewelry and $500 Home Depot gift cards, among other things, in exchange for water and sewer contracts."

After he retired from LW, he went to Boynton where he was fired. He then got a job in WPB where he was fired. How much of this was going on in Lake Worth for those 20 years? How much is still going on?

" These allegations do not involve elected officials, but in some ways this is more insidious in that you have people who burrow in to their positions of power and influence - they have the levers and control of money - and they influence the decisions that are made on a day-to-day basis, not for the public's benefit or the public's good, but for their own private gain".Gee ,do some Lake Worth employees fit this bill?
Funny business is going on here. It just feels like it. How come other cities have lower taxes and they don't even have a utility?
They have internal auditors
