It just never ends with Jessica Teutsch. Check out her comment--Click here.
As Commissioner Maier stated at the time, “This is completely untrue and unfounded. The woman (who made the allegations) is no friend of mine. She’s never been in my home and she’s not even my neighbor.”

It also never ends with the Post reporter, Kevin. He just keeps this non-story alive.
Well her closing statement did make a good point, if you don't let code in their powerless to actually prove a violation actually exists. So news to all if your doing anything inside against code just plead the 5th and it will go away...
i highly doubt Maier will get re-elected so enjoy your time in office for now... So much for transparency.
Dodged the bullet this time Buddy!!!!!!!!
Nice closing statement. Its scary anyone can get out of a violation if they just keep their door shut. Yah yah right to privacy but on the other hand some real bad stuff can be happening inside a property and yet the people we look to too enforce codes have little power. So the saying goes no proof no violation of course... Even if proof is hidden?
Anyone can complain on anyone its a free country.. Isnt it?
Wow everyones joining in. Code is a hot topic haha
It's probably the same person
I can say i only wrote the 8:07pm. Wouldn't it be nice if you actually spoke with a code officer to find out the nity grity facts instead of every yahoo commenting for or against Maier. But again im sure the code people arent allowed to discuss details with the public...
Whether if he got away with it or not its time to drop it
It's a vicious city and anyone can say anything. Sometimes it sticks. Sometimes not. It's too bad that Jessica didn't talk to Ryan before going after him to ruin him. Bad move. Bad advice. It won't be forgotten and there is no reason why he should lose the next election, a long way off I might add, when he slammed dunked this one.
The worthiest people are the most injured by slander, as it is the best fruit which the birds have been pecking at. Jonathan Swift
All above who think Ryan should have let them in,...go ahead and post your names and addresses here and we will test this out... we will do a little anonymous complaint on your property and then Code can come into your living room, bedroom, back closet and take lots of pictures which we'll put on the Internet and all comment on? How does this sound? You don't mind, right?
Lesson Learned:
Let the camel get it's nose under the tent
for sure the whole camel is coming!
This is the exact reason for the 4th amendment.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
...meaning - "Get a judge to issue a warrant."
@8:25 above--I'm rather sure that code officers must follow the laws. It shows that there is a flaw in our system when someone political can go after a politician with NO evidence. Sorry John Rinaldi, but being a former lawyer, you, of all people, should know this.
Now as far as this house over here on Wright Drive, there was a huge loophole in LW law...that is something that NEVER should have been allowed to happen. Even though the city is trying to get these ordinances foolproof, we have a way to go.
Jessica and Karla were both used by the dark side. They don't even know it.
Regardless maier took the easy way out. He hindered his own ppl from gathering evidence. And some of us cant post our names for various reasons, post yours # 9:37pm. Good luck getting re-elected Ryan. This code case will follow you around for the rest of your stay in lw.
To all those who think Maier did the stand up thing. I hope your next door neighbour is doing some shady stuff "inside" thier house and then when you call code to help you the owner says no entry, case closed. Then you hear how hes a great person and did the right thing, 5th amendment.. Blah blah blah. Then lets see whose crying now...
Maier stood by his Constitutional rights, anonymous @8:45.
Do you want to know what's going to come out of all of this? Voters are sick and tired of people being run over and treated like crap by people like you. This will backfire for anyone involved in this and prove to be very negative if you continue to bring it up. You will lose a lot of votes if you do because basically people still support civil rights in this country (I realize that Obama is trying to stomp on that premise) and just plain fairness.
So keep it up. We don't like sleazy politics. The next time you come after someone be sure to have some EVIDENCE. Break into his house and hide under the bed or something...you would be good at that.
Anyone can make a complaint then its codes job to gather evidence but how can they when they arent allowed to? Maier got off bc lack of evidence because he inhibited his officers from gathering any.
@9:00am, I guess you need to make an Amendment to the United States Constitution.
I do NOT relinquish my constitutional right to be protected from unreasonable search. But you and your little friends said If Ryan has nothing to hide he should open his door. So go ahead, post your name and address and I will send Code right over with a camera to take pictures inside your home. Go ahead. Oh, wait....are you feeling nervous?...Do not want the government in Your Home? I thought so. Nice going trying to "get" Ryan. Now we all know what dirty, malicious A-holes you guys really are.
Yes it was his right but dont you see theres a difference between hiding behind the constitution rather thsn standing behind the whole entire platform he preached during his election. The fact the case was closed due to lack of no evidence wasnt because code got inside and saw there wasnt a violation which would be concrete proof instead he didnt allow his code people to gather evidence. Regardless of you see it Lynn there is a difference.
"Hiding" behind the Constitution? Shame on you. God, you people are so willing to give up your rights in this country. We really do need some hope and change...change from tyranny and just bad politics. You are so hell bent on destroying someone that you then discount what makes this country what it is and different from regimes with little or no protected freedoms?
Im not saying it wasnt his constitutional right to plead the 5th which i agree its his legal right but theres a difference on being equitted on a solid evidence than a speculational lack of evidence because he wouldnt work with his people to view it. All that it hurts is his image. If he allowed code in and there was no evidence on that basis there wouldnt be any discussion. Try to look at it from a different point of view Lynn. In not saying it wasnt his right to deny code entry
He wasn't "pleading" anything. He was not in a court of law. I believe someone quoted the Fourth Amendment to our Constitution above. Read it. Understand it. Stop! I am looking at it from the correct point of view and would do the same for anyone else. This is about rights.
The ends never justify the means and meanies don't get this!
They are too saturated in what they think is right - rules
(Constitution) be damned! I do like the suggestion to those
who in some alternative universe think this invasion of privacy
is OK to open up their houses and be the first to endure 'cruel
and unusual punishment' (giving up CREATOR GIVEN RIGHTS - Like DNA)!
After all the city needs income and code picking low hanging fruit
(used as a political weapon from a NON-LW CITIZEN) should be tried
out on those who think it's OK FIRST! Obviously they have NO EXPERIENCE
with our code dept and would be the greatest correctors/defenders of the
'rules' after that fiasco!
It is about the 4th amendment but does include the next step in the 5th.
You can NOT be compelled to HELP ANYONE make a criminal case against you!
"nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;"
Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Lynn i hope you have a good day. Your right im wrong. Maier is undeniably innocent without any reasonable doubt.
10:23...you just don't know when to stop making a farce out of this. Reasonable doubt?" This is not a court of law. Thank God we have a city attorney who understands this.
DEAR ANON @ 8:45 A.M. OOOOHHHH PLEASE!!! I AM SURE FOLKS ARE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN THAT!
Maier's platform was on transparency in public affairs, as in three commissioners should not be having dinner together locked in the city manager's office twice a month for three years. That's the public's business.
As in the district 4 commissioner should not be on the payroll of a developer trying to re-develop our already beautiful beach property.
as in the mayor and same commissioner should not be communicating with same developer during the ITN process, which the developer revealed on public record recently.
as in a sitting commissioner and department director on a secret committee to bring new development to our beach should not be conspiring to manipulate an election by withholding information from the public.
as in the city manager should not be misleading commissioners in regard to the intent of a bidding process that could significantly affect public land (the beach).
as in the city attorney should not be conspiring at the request of a secret committee to sidestep a 20 year max lease term at our beach property that was approved by 90% of Lake Worth voters.
Not as in he is not allowed to have his own private space and private life.
You people are always prancing around in your cloaks of self-righteousness and petty judgment. Your bloviating about future elections is obviously ill-informed, but you can take this to the bank: a hard rain's gonna fall next March.
Joining in: i dont think that whoever a few anonymouses are is stating that he didn't have rights to say no. I think he/she is only stating it may not have been in his best interestes for his persona with the people to proceed the way he did. There is a diffeence between no hard evidence and possible evidence behind a closed door. Thats all. I guess no one will ever know for sure. But the case is closed for "lack of evidence" so we should all just drop it. Lets start a new topic on all the good our qwarky city has going for it. ��
I dont think anyones questoning his rights. People are commenting on his moral standing.
anony at 12:20. it's your MORAL standing that should be in question.
Ya'll are all crazy, haha. But lack of evidence due to hindering the code staff from obtaining it isnt the same as no evidence. Happy runnings commissioner
You have the evidence? Let's see the photos--all of them. Make sure that they are dated. Bring the proof of your allegations that already have proved to be worthless. Code was not hindered in any way. What happened here is that you politicos didn't get your way. How lucky for all the rest of us who believe in fair play. Maybe you can get Kevin D. Thompson to write anotehr follow-up article to the follow-up article.
Anon 12:44 i am the 12:20. I just posted into this blog section and you know nothing about me or my basis. All i stated is what i feel the consensus of numerous postings are. I didnt say i was for or against Maier. In response to you my judging morals without standing: You need to check yourself before accusing others behind a blanket. Do you think what he did was morally just given his position as a open "transparent" leader in the community? Thank you lynn for allowing me to comment in your blog.
@12:54--To whom are you addressing your comment? Another anonymous poster?
Bring me the proof. That's all I ask.
Otherwise, I believe in the LAW.
It's easy to attack others by remaining anonymous.
This is an argument that is getting NOWHERE. You all are not going to be happy until Maier is crucified, dead and buried.
Well guess what?........it ain't gonna happen.
He won by a landslide.
No ones saying they want him crucified they are just saying theres a difference between clear no evidence and lack of due to him preventing it. How can someone gather evidence to proof without walking inside? One day Lynn you will need code's help and if they dont do it to your standards you'll blast them too. Whats good for the goose is good for gander.
THIS IS AMERICA. You can't charge people with a "crime" and then have them prove they're guilty or not guilty to satisfy your hatchet job. People are innocent and it is up to you to prove otherwise. God, please, read the law. I don't plan on taking anymore of your hit commenst here. If you really don't "get it" by now, you never will.
Who is this strange woman who sent in the code violation? Why is she so concerned? Was she so concerned about other code violations? Did she search Greg Rice's name or the Mango Inn for violations?
Jessica DOUCHBAG in her true form -a WENCH!
" Its scary anyone can get out of a violation if they just keep their door shut."
No,whats really scary is that Jessica DOUCHBAG and her friends can file a completely false report to drag somebody through the mud-All with the help of Palm Beach Post reporter KEVIN !!!
Hey KEVIN-Do a story on what goes on in Andy's back room.And find out how many aliases he uses while you're at it.
Hey KEVIN-do a story on the Mayor breaking federal ATF laws by having her brew and cigs delivered out to her car.
Hey KEVIN-Do a story on William Scot Maxwell and why he left his job at Burger King.
Hey Kevin-do a story on where Hudson Holdings came from and why Boynton Beach was smart enough to say NO THANKS ! Do a story on what's going on with the Gulfstream hotel and how Hudson Holdings lied to anybody that would listen to them when they came into town.
Maeir is a upstanding honest person just because he refused to let the code inside to gather evidence is his prerogative. He obviously has nothing to hide or he would have let rhekin right? Why else would he not want the case closed sooner for "lack of evidence" Vote Maeir 2016, you have my vote for re-election. We need more upstanding leaders like you.
Greg Rice isnt any better, it took him years to get off his butt and tear down those dilapidated run down buildings on Lucerne that were a haven for drugs, cats & prostitution. Only reason he finally did it because the city finally pressured him to
I wonder if Maier has shown his face around the city's code dept since this started...
Why should he be showing his face around the code department? Dumb azz question at 3:31pm.
Isnt the code department the ones who was dealing with the violation he was accussed of? Dumb Azz 4:14 ��
Mr. Waters, CM, City attorney and Code Supervisor all cleared Maeir because Maier simply wouldnt let them obtain evidence, either way thats the verdict. The real one to blame is Code Officer Robinson for persuing it, sorry you didnt catch your man! Its a good thing her supervisor leashed her and instituted some sense into her. Look Robinson its closed, too bad huh. Why dont you go worry about some dog poop on someones lawn and stay away from the honest people in Lake Worth!
Dayummmm 4:48 layed it all out there! Its about time someone said what the smart commenters were thinking! Like why / how is she still employeed after trying to take her own commissioner to the court? Better luck next time! We all appreciate Mr. Woods setting her straight.
You people are very cruel! Ive met Ms Robinson and she was very polite to me and overall nice Lady. These two negative comments are undeserved and unwelcomed as your presence in this blog. You probably were in trouble because you had a code violation. Take your hatred elsewhere.
Didnt you know comissioners are above the law? They all have dirty secrets. Hell just look at Andy's nasty lil porn room off lake ave.
@5:50...I almost didn't post that but it is not a secret that he sells some sex related toys or something in his shop. He doesn't keep this a secret and they are not against the law. I'll have to visit it to see if it's "nasty."
@ 2:56, Maeir dragged himself through the mud. So lets say he let the code staff in and had nothing to hide wouldnt it had been over months ago that day? And jessica would have looked like fool for filing false allegations. But because maeir refused entry (which yes yes its his right, we already beat that to death) he displayed reasonable doubt.
5:57 go back to law school.
Haha 6:15 how about you take a ethics class better yet a reading and comprehension class. How in any way did i use law and legal rights in my statement of 5:57?
I just read everyone's comments and it looks like a bunch off you are missing the point. Literally no one said its a legal thing tramping on his constitutional rights. There saying maybe he didnt take the most straight forward approach to handling the situation. Why does so many individuals, literally 60+ feel the need to jump all over eachother instead of actually thinking about what is being said.
I think several said it was a "legal thing tramping on his constitutional rights." I guess you missed my comments?
Lynn can you please specify which person, not you, said he didnt have the right to deny entry?
Have no idea who would say something like that.
Lynn but you said @ 6:36 several people said it was a legal thing? I cant find even one person who stated he didnt have the right to deny entry? Or anything violating his legal rights. What ive read people are questioning his judgement on the route he choice to take.
Holy moly...it is the Constitution! That is what I'm talking about...legal--the most legal document in the land.
Ok--that's it.
He has the right to his civil rights. People can judge until the cows come home but it doesn't make them right.
No more, please.
Lynn, im going to try and break this down for you again because you clearly arent understanding this.. You stated several people said @ 6:36 questioned his legal right to privacy on here. Then i said please tell me which anon did because i couldnt find anyone who did. All i read was people questioning his moral judgement in the action of not granting access. So again please charify for me and let me know who said he didnt have the right to privacy
I'm so happy you're "breaking it down for me."
I have answered this over and over again.
You do have a problem with harassment.
Which pictures has code put on the web for everyone to view and comment on? How about you backup your statement with proof or a webpage before spouting out misinformation.
No ones agrueing Maeir didnt abide by the constitution. But bc he used it instead of heading the accusations head on now there will always be speculation on what's really going on in his duplex
A code complaint doesn't go away simply b/c you don't let them in your home. I don't think any of you have had any experience with code, but I have. And, no I wouldn't let them in my rental unit to inspect it, and guess what happened, the code complaint didn't go away. Rather I had to go to a hearing and address the allegation and prove that I was right, which I did.
There are also plenty of other ways to gather evidence besides entry. If you are running an illegal business, code could gather evidence by taking photos of deliveries or customers, etc. If something were super "shady" as some of you put it, that wouldn't be code it would be the police and they have different methods to gain entry.
Maybe we can resurrect the Gestapo...they would handle it.
The NA's have the brown shirts in place making the call ya all!
Tell me again how much we pay the PBSO & Code?
My 4 yr old grand child is learning how no one likes a tattle tale!
What harm is there besides someone 'feeling' this or that? Put those
feelings where the sun don't shine and get over your self appointment
to be the new moral police - or old Gestapo/brown shirt mentality!
He stood on his UN-A-Lien-Able, creator given rights and GOVERNMENT
was formed to protect those rights! We have a republican (representative)
government because in a democracy (NONE to date has ever survived) a
simple 51% would change it all from day to day vs rules set in cement,
not easily changed on purpose understanding how people can be easily
swayed to allow feelings not law to rule them...
Anon @ 1:24, so your stating you have a rental unit in the city and code issued a case on you because you wouldnt let them gain access? Every rental in the city is required a inspection its called a use and occupancy inspection. So you to stated they took you to court and you won? Thats funny bc i have a bunch of rentals and its part of the Lake Worth Business License. Ive never had a issue with code, they've always been fair to me. But ive also never gave them a reason not to be...
This whole city is corrupt. All they way from the CM to comissioners.
They all have their own agendas regardless of what the public or employees want. Take for example the beach... The majority of the community wants to keep the beach the way it is yet sadly HH will most likely get it. The employees havent recieved even a 1% raise in 7 years yet the CM & Departmental Heads continue to get raises, some over $10,000 a year.
When have politicians every been considered the most honorable upstanding people?
