Mayor of Lantana to run again

Comment Up
Dave Stewart, Mayor of Lantana

Mayor Stewart, a Lake Worth High School graduate, is running again. He has been the mayor of Lantana for 15 years.

Lantana did not come up with some trumped up reason to change its qualifying time to three months before the election as Lake Worth commissioner John Szerdi did. Lake Worth's majority commission followed Szerdi's lead/suggestion and voted in the change. Szerdi just needed all that extra time to see how hard he was going to have to work for his re-election. He slid into office the first time around and then got an additional 8 months when the election month was changed by the voters.

Mayor Stewart has to qualify for the March 10th election between January 27 to February 10 in Lantana and so far, no other opponent has come forward. Look for Mayor Stewart to be the mayor for another three year term.

Mayor Stewart is a nice guy but isn't it time for some new blood? And Mayor Stewart,could Lantana please remove the gate you put across a public road on Ridge road? It really does hamper travel to get to Publix. On school days forget getting through that area. A lot of the seniors don't want to have to drive on I-95.And oh,yeah, IT'S A PUBLIC ROAD !!!

I agree, that gate blocking a public road to get to the stores on Lantana is annoying and seems wrong. Why did they do that in the first place? For years, I liked to drive that road to go to Publix and all and nto have to use I95 or other roads, not you need to go around on another street and deal with more lights and traffic. That was a stupid move to block the flow of traffic that way.
