Just like everything else in Lake Worth, our priorities are askew. Slum, blight and neglect everywhere and even the dead can't rest in peace. They're dead so who cares is the prevailing attitude? The commission finds it more important to up-zone that residential neighborhood than to take care of its responsibilities at the cemetery. All those buried there were guaranteed certain expectations. We should be honoring all those who passed before us. We took their money and typically we have not lived up to our end of the bargain. Have you ever seen kids playing kick ball at a cemetery and running over headstones and markers? What about all those dumping trash and debris onto our city cemetery? What about the sheer neglect from city staff?

LAKE WORTH, Fla. --
Residents say the Pinecrest Municipal Cemetery in Lake Worth is
embarrassing -- with toppled tombstones, some covered in sand and weeds,
and littered with beer cans, bottles and other trash.
The
cemetery, off South A Street, is a playground for children, a shortcut
to people living nearby, a trash dump to others, and to some concerned
CBS 12 viewers -- it's appalling.
"Lake Worth's dirty little secret...it's horrible."

isn't there a program/punishment/giving back to the community for DUI offenders to pick up trash along the highway??? Why cant some of their effort be directed to cleaning up the cemetery. If they committed the crime IN the city of LW why not put them to work FOR the city of LW.
or.... do we have a,
"Failure to communicate".
