Happy Halloween


The Dirty Dozen and BAC PAC group have been throwing acid in the face of citizens for years. They do not pass the smell test and have now been called out for their cutting, sharp, dishonest and devious tactics. They did it last year and this election it is even worse. Trying to maintain our small town charm just doesn't cut it for them. They would much prefer Ft. Lauderdale in Lake Worth. They blame everyone but themselves.

The more dense our city, the more shoppers. The more dense our city, the more developers, contractors, Realtors, etc. to make money. And with more density comes a huge impact on our natural resources. This group of malcontents complain about the high cost of utilities now. Can you even imagine the cost if we have even more strain on water and electricity? It is one thing after the other. Just ask Commissioner Maxwell who is the sole commissioner on the side of halting sensible progress for our city and criticizes everything from reducing our budget by $5 million to the creative financing of our Casino project. He doesn't trust staff and doesn't trust our city manager and he is in support of this group who wants desperately to control Lake Worth's destiny for their own self-interests.

Yesterday we all were sign waving at City Hall--a BAC PAC person, Mary Lindsey, a candidate in District 2, supporters of Amendment 4 and McVoy and Mulvehill. There were two teenagers there waving signs for one opponent in Dist 2. When asked about it, he said that it was for school community credits.

One supporter of an opponent in District 2 and 4 was yelling the entire time she was standing on the median strip even going so far as to point to a car of black people and then pointed to her candidate showing that they had something in common--the color of their skin. The candidate in District 2 was overheard yelling, "The scientist wants to destroy our homes." The two groups of political enthusiasts never talked to each other nor did they acknowledge the other's presence. We were all invisible to the other, afterall, we all have totally different values.

There are actually some in this community, those who have made ALL OF THE WAVES and HAVE TOLD ALL OF THE LIES and who are into themselves, who actually believe that we all can sit down and work things out. Not in this lifetime and this election proves it.
