Lake Worth Mayor - What we Need and What we Don't

Rachel Waterman was in my community today knocking on the doors of the "undecided." I was on her list of undecideds. When she told me that, I had to chuckle.

This election is very important in the fact that we can not afford to go backwards. We can not afford a mayor with no knowledge and with no desire to attain it. We can not afford a mayor who is unwilling to learn, request a document, study the facts and understands what a kilowatt is. We can't afford a person who has no repoire with the people. We do not want a bully. We also do not want someone who fires from the hip saying they want to sell our Electric Utility. We don't need someone who does not understand our Budget and believes they are smarter than our professional Finance Department. We do not need anyone who does not understand what a Bridge Loan is. We certainly don't need someone who says PBSO at any cost when we have a $4.5 mil shortfall. We don't need someone who is distracted by chickens. We do not need someone who runs on a platform of firing our city manager and mocks our dais. We don't need a candidate who only smiles during campaigning.

We need someone who really cares about our City and does not just listen to the almighty dollar but instead listens to the people. We need someone who is friendly and who does smile and who has an upbeat personality. We need someone who does not take campaign contributions and mailers from questionable people and sources. We need someone who is smart--someone not beholding to Sun Recycling, the Unions, The Republican Party or any Party. We need someone who is not beholding to the developers and one who wants to keep our small town charm. We want someone whose priority is good public safety. We need a mayor who understands why we need code enforcement, conservation and preserving our assets. The only one who fits into that category is Rachel Waterman, the grassroots candidate.

Vote on June 28.
