PB Post--Clueless

Is the Palm Beach Post Editorial staff living on another Planet? I just now finished reading the editorial and these people just keep missing it and interject stupidity, not just some of the time, but with frequency. This blog post is not about Dave Vespo who I happen to think is a nice guy but a Commissioner who has voted the wrong way on most every major issue in Lake Worth. This is about getting to the truth. It is about The Post. And they wonder why readership is down and they have had to lay off over 600 people.

Today they say the reasons to vote for Dave Vespo are:

Going with the Sheriff’s department because there are more officers on the streets. Now just how stupid is this really? It is the same exact number of people. The shifts have changed. We could have done that ourselves. And it is costing us more money to do this.

More resources by going to the Sheriff’s Department. NO THERE ARE NOT. We have the same resources as before and we have always paid the County for them. Last year we paid in excess of $3 mil for Sheriff services.

Says Dave Vespo is flexible to work out the problems with FMPA. Vespo has shown NO flexibility in the past for working out our FMPA contract until just recently, at election time.

Says that Vespo is for demolishing the Casino and going with Greater Bay. That is true but why? The people don’t want this. Why is he so insistent to continue to support Greater Bay, a company that has NEVER PERFORMED. The people want control of their beach.

And then the Post suggests that we have instant run-off elections...a Green Party idea brought up by Echo Steiner at a Commission meeting. Dear Mr. Editor, the people voted overwhelmingly this past January and said that they WANTED run-off elections (two round system) and voted 67% that way. Let's keep everything open and honest when it comes to LW politics.

Stay out of Lake Worth politics. You have no clue.
