But Lake County is in sorry shape. For years it has depended almost entirely on building for its financial success. Developers loved this county. Even commissioners in Palm Beach County committed crimes involving real estate and a few are in prison. Now that building is in the tanker, Commissioners in Lake County want to give preferential treatment by easing impact fees to the building industry, those directly responsible for the disaster--the unsold inventory from overbuilding of residential units that will last until the end of the decade.

With a foreclosure rate of 1:4, Florida has the highest in the nation. With the unemployment rate growing, we haven't seen anything yet.
Unlike Lake County, Lake Worth's residential neighborhoods are built out. We are, however, heading in the right direction by our determination to develop the Park of Commerce and restore our most valuable treasure, the Lake Worth beach. We have made tremendous strides in making our Golf Course profitable and we now, once again, have our own golf professional.
We have improved our local parks and we have a dedicated and talented recreational department. We have a vibrant downtown and we are promoting our city and all its attractions and now have the Downtown Cultural Alliance. We reopened our Lake Worth Museum that is packed with valuable historical documents and we are preparing for our centennial in just a few years. Commissioner Mulvehill is internationally promoting our city as a tourist destination and a perfect place to own a home.
It takes responsible leadership to allow our city to grow and prosper. These, as well as many other decisions, not to mention proceeding with our own Reverse Osmosis plant, were made by Commissioners Mulvehill, Golden and Jennings and will eventually turn our city around by attracting home buyers and businesses thus boosting our economy.
