One of our citizens got a call from our City Manager who said to him— I thought you were one of the good citizens. This was after some of the city manager’s practices were questioned.
What exactly is one of the "good" citizens? Is this just a citizen who goes along with any decision that comes out of City Hall? Is it a citizen that never questions, is a doormat to politics and the agenda of the majority in power? I would have been bothered by that remark as well. Thank God there are Sunshine Laws that help protect the citizenry. It’s just one small protection we have and we don’t have much.
The City Commission has made so many awful decisions. A lot of those votes were made as a direct result of information given to them by Staff. After all, who should you trust…a stranger or your paid employees?
Perception is reality. The present CM was supposed to have moved here. His car is rarely spotted in his assigned space at City Hall. One must really live here in order to make fair and objective decisions that affect all the people of Lake Worth and in fact, that is a job requirement. He never moved here. That is a reality.
