Letter to the Editor

New commissioner fights for Lake Worth

In response to the recent letter to the editor titled "Lake Worth candidates are anti-immigrant" it is clear the writer has taken "out of context" to a new level.

My campaign was focused on lowering our taxes and utility bills, eliminating blight, reducing crime and holding landlords accountable for providing clean, sanitary and safe housing for every Lake Worth resident — regardless of their legal status. As a former city commissioner and longtime neighborhood activist, I respectfully believe that I am much more in tune with the needs of Lake Worth's neighborhoods than the letter-writer, a resident of Jupiter . We must make Lake Worth affordable and sustainable again .

Lake Worth

Congratulations to Scott Maxwell for doing what it took to win and for running a clean campaign. I appreciate that a lot particularly now that he represents my District in the City of Lake Worth. Maybe occasionally we might get a phone call. Maybe we might get an e-mail returned. Time will tell.

Scott is known as anti-illegal alien. Not once was this mentioned by him during the campaign. Even those in back of his campaign who came from all over the place to help him win, not only physically but monetarily, must have at least asked themselves why Scott was totally silent on this issue and the reason. Afterall, this was why they all rallied behind him, not to mention the Republican Party in this non-partisan race.
