West Palm Beach Commission -Development is their vision

Comment Up

As West Palm Beach commissioners have been in the news lately for wanting a convicted butchering murderer out on parole by slinging around their influence as elected officials, I wanted to again draw your attention to their decision, one of several, where they approved Rybovich in excess of 2 - 3 times the allowable density. Its negative impacts will damage the surrounding community. But they don't worry about that. They don't worry about the surrounding neighborhoods or any property owner who spoke against what they did and their abuse of power. They don't worry about our waterfront. What do they concern themselves with?  Campaign donations?  Wealthy contributors? More advalorem? It isn't Joe Citizen. It isn't our beautiful waterfront. They worship pavement.

Money talks! Politicians, big business, and developers are all in bed with each other, washing each others hands with $! Greed, corruption, power are alive and breeding here in Palm Beach. Politicians do not represent the citizens, they are puppets controlled by the big business, if they do not do what big business wants, big business will put another candidate in to beat them so they can get what they want. Always look behind the campaign contributions.
YOU CANNOT TRUST EVEN ONE POLITICIAN, NOT ONE OF THEM.

I work in wpb, traffic is horrendous. Try to move in downtown between 7.30 am and 10 am. And guess what the city keeps approving new development WITHOUT traffic studies. Gee I wonder why. The roads in downtown can't be expanded, indeed they want to "calm" them.
