    What a disappointment this whole Commission has become. They have become mindless robots of the paranoid city manager,so much so that city hall is now under video surveillance.(Which one of our commissioners tried to DENY ). Even the blue comment cards are now under Stanton s control. Did anyone else see how city attorney Elaine Humphries ran out of the room before my public comments? SHE DIDN'T WANT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THE LEGALITY OF A PUBLIC WORKSHOP!!Our Commissioners have abdicated control of Lake Worth to Susan Stanton. No internal auditor for us!Crooks or Weenies-the people of Lake Worth deserve better!

    This certainly tells the story. They go on and on aNd then vote exactly how you know they will. Who are they trying to convince? The resident who just spoke against it when they are for it?

    This is all mediocrity at its best, from the city manager to the entire commission. There is never talk about quality, effectiveness, transparency, or accountability to the citizens. WE ALL DESERVE BETTER HERE IN THIS CITY! We need to stop settling for mediocrity in this city and demand more from the CM and Commission or be very local and protest until they are ousted. STOP MEDIOCRITY NOW!
