We're always having clean-ups in Lake Worth and for some reason our City always needs a lot of constant help. Some downtown merchants are helping in the butt regard by cleaning up the day after in front of their stores. But cleaning up should be a lot more often.
It was stated by our city attorney that the State of Florida won't allow us to have an Ordinance forbidding smoking on city property. However, in 2002, 71 percent of Florida citizens voted for a constitutional amendment to prohibit smoking in most indoor workplaces. This smoke-free law became effective in 2003. As a result, it is now illegal to smoke indoors in nearly all workplace areas and spaces open to the public in Florida.

The number one piece of environmentally unfriendly trash on our beach: cigarette butts
Geeez, No smoking. What about food and drink trash, used diapers,Gays kissing on the beach,seaweed,tar balls,having to look at fat obese people,sometimes in tiny bathing suits,parents that let their kids run and kicking up sand and it goes on and on.Loud music from a radio. Why not just close down the beach.
ReplyDeleteAnd you want your children picking up things on the beach? Hey mom I found a balloon, a needle, fish parts from the pier,a bottle with a map in it.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you just stop smoking and trashing up our beach?
ReplyDeleteI military strip my cigs and eat the little bit of paper. The fiber is good for you.
ReplyDeleteYou should volunteer for beach watchman. Dont forget your jungle jim hat. Dont forget your ticket book. But then you`d probably be eye balling all the young chicks.
