Today's Letters to the Editor in Palm Beach Post

1. Maxwell aligns himself with questionable groups by Victoria Pearson

Well, I would say that Maxwell is aligning himself with Federal Law. Perhaps it is the other way around and those opposing Maxwell and dreaming up stuff to malign his character are really the ones aligning with questionable groups. We have a standing commissioner, Jennings, who scoffs at laws, refuses to recite the Pledge to our Flag yet advocates breaking American law in a country that has allowed her to make havoc, threaten businesses and lie...someone who thinks it perfectly fine for the taxpayers to pick up the tab for her anarchist views. What about that one, Victoria? I feel sorry for both candidates running for Commission District 1 because of subversive actions predicated on lies.

2. Mayoral candidate Varela has done little more than talk in Lake Worth by Annabeth Karson

After reading the article that accompanied the Palm Beach Post endorsement, I realize more than ever that Varela still has much to learn about the issues in our City. I don't want it to be on my dime or when our city is in crisis. Also, the fact that he divorced himself from those who helped him the most in last year's election, shows that he also has much to learn about being a politician. It's true when he says that we are a "friendly city" but we are also a city made up of activists who do know the issues and have an understanding of where we have been and the causes that have lead us to where we are today.

3. Give Varela an opportunity to show what he can do as Mayor by John A. Shanahan

Why should we "give someone an opportunity" to be Mayor? Is this like giving illegal aliens an opportunity for prosperity in America when they have come here illegally and ridicule American law? Should the position not be filled by the most qualified? This is not some gift we are giving. Even those immigrating here legally have to pass a test. When Varela became a veterinarian he had to take courses and pass tests. The Mayoral position should be filled by someone who is the most deserving and who can actually lead us out of the awful problems we have in this city and someone who has a clear understanding on how to do that...a Litmus test, if you will.

Varela says that his opponents like to "linger on to past arguments and past fights." It is imperative that he understands the past and the "players" who made the decisions in order to lead into the future. It is not someone who says he loves our CRA and it should stay independent with no budget scrutiny. It is also not someone who thinks it is okay for property owners on the water to take public land. It is not someone who says we had ineffective code staff and supports the code reduction.

May the best man win!

Did Lt.Col.Shanahan become a Colonel within 2 years? Without military duty,knowledge of past procedures,proven qualification with actions?Preserving and benefitting the interests army?

Lake Worth is army of 40.000 Citizens with a $43.000.000.- budget to spend.A City Hall with history, as training ground,with bi-monthly meetings for City business, for future brass.

Would the Colonel let a novice without any knowledge of the military,give charge of the army, handle their budget, decide over their lives?
Give FULL CHARGE of the army lives and money? The last one in Lake Worth, was an uncaring novice!We now have the highest electric and millage rates and a 40 year recycled questionable water contract,with $18.000.000.-just for pipes, not food!
We heard many bombastic speeches with empty promises, useless words,at the Forums,
not one mention of a useful action with results, for the Citizens of Lake Worth, but from Laurence McNamara, pro-active longtime resident property owner, with proven care for our lives,money and City!
The only truly qualified Candidate for Mayor, as the Palm Beach Post states.
Lynn,if this gets the hate groups into action,who claim to want peace, please do not publish it

Well why dont you have a little looksy at this linky and then we can talk.. wondering what your feelings are on Southern Poverty Law Center? Hmmmm they must be .. what anarchists because they added FAIR to its list of Hate Groups??? So anyone who does not agree with your opinion is somehow lawless Lynn?? What do you think about that Lynn? I think you are a bright woman and have had pleasant conversations with you but your condescending tone and blatant disrespect of ANYONE that does not share your opinion speaks loudly about why you feel hate groups are somehow aligned with federal law.

Well, thanks for your "linky dinky." Now who is being condescending and insulting here because I did not agree with them. I think it is obvious. Thanks for your opinion though. That's what America is all about...but you knew that.
