Tuesday's election will be won by those candidate who get out the most voters. That is the bottom line. Having the Palm Beach Post endorsement certainly helps but it is no guaranty of winning. Look what happened to Barbara Aubel who got the endorsement but lost to Dave Vespo. The Post got the endorsement right then too. Dave Vespo was a nice guy but a disaster for the City. We have been suffering ever since until this Commission. Maxwell supporters are in my community as I write.
We have the political neighborhood associations working hard for their candidates. College Park usually determines the winner. They know how to get out the vote. My community as well as Murry Hills is 75% vacant as owners are away for the Summer. Some snowbirds do vote here but most don't have the same interest as their main residence is out of Lake Worth. We know that College Park's neighborhood association president has been working hard to grab back the power and has a big influence on her neighborhood. She is a big Union supporter. Look what she did with the PBSO rally, nearly sabotaging the City's negotiations with the Sheriff. The City survived that and Susan Stanton and this Commission eventually saved Lake Worth $1.2 million.
Everyone needs to look at who is behind the candidates campaign. Are they the normal, everyday residents or are some supported by big Unions that have a vested interest in our city for salary increases and cushy retirement benefits. Is it a firefighter knocking on your door for Ramiccio who got their endorsement. Ask yourself why he got it. Is it a candidate supported by one of the largest building associations around? What is their interest in Lake Worth? When someone knocks on your door, ask them if they even live in Lake Worth. If no, wonder why they are so interested in this little city. Also, look very closely to the campaign contributions and see exactly who is pushing a particular candidate like Sun Recycling and ask yourself "why?" Does Sun want to get back into Lake Worth. Do they want a settlement on the law suit for screwing up our 66 acres?
Tuesday is very important. Get out and vote for Waterman.
I do live in College Park and attend NA mtgs and the president has never brought up politics at mtgs and says adamantly that she will not. We've all been discussing the election, and the NA president has not been involved at all.
ReplyDeleteMost of us don't even know who she's voting for!!
What proof do you have?
My question to you is---DO YOU READ & COMPREHEND VERY WELL? The other thing that I will say is, who do you think you are kidding?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,you and I must have been at different NOA meetings! Not political?If College Park could succeed from lake Worth we would,in a heart beat!
ReplyDeleteYes Mary has strong political beliefs, as do you.
ReplyDeleteBut I'd love to hear someone say she has done ANY political stumping in NA mtgs....she follows the rules.
