Lake Worth's Murry Hills holds meeting

Ron Exline and Commissioner Suzanne Mulvehill

Prior to the meeting's start, I passed out Florida Hometown Democracy palm cards explaining the initiative that will be on our ballot on November 2, 2010. The first speaker was Katie McGiveron, Vice President of ROLOH and President of Save Our Neighborhood, who spoke on Amendment 4 and how we, the people, will have a way to protect our hometown. Next, Annabeth Karson spoke on our 2010 Census and the importance of filling it out and sending it in as the tax dollars we receive are based on this count. For some odd reason, some snowbirds have more of a loyalty to the town they live in up north rather than to Lake Worth, a place in which they own property and reside for a good percentage of the year. I talked to one gentleman before the meeting and he saw no good reason to fill it out for Lake Worth to benefit. He only drives on our city streets and uses all of our services for six months of the year but treats this as secondary or of less importance. Annabeth gave him good reasons to help our City. Commissioner Suzanne Mulvehill was the main speaker at today's meeting at Murry Hills. She talked on the Sunset Drive parcel that affects all the residents of Murry Hills and the ROLOH neighborhood as well as the beach and casino project. She emphasized all the progress this commission has made and if we have the will, we will make it happen. All her votes are for the benefit of the city and it shines forth in everything she says and does. People felt uplifted after her speech as they now feel that we are going in the right direction.
