Joint Propaganda Meeting last night

Comment Up

At last night's joint meeting of the Planning and Zoning and Historic Resource Preservation board it was suggested by William Waters, Sustainability and Director of just about everything when it comes to our city and how it looks, that the entire city might or could end up as an Enterprise Zone with the exception of Vernon Heights because we're poor folks, poorer than dirt we've been told.

Now, think about that.  This would be an appointed board that you can't get rid of that would have the unelected power to make important decisions that could change the look of our city forever--all to attract tax free economic development anywhere in the city.  They could borrow money to achieve their end. The could raise money through bonds. Our commission would be rendered impotent and essentially this city would be lead by people we don't know and did not elect. At least we have the power every two years to change the dais.

It is more important than ever that everyone vote YES on Amendment 2 especially since this commission voted to have an Enterprise Zone Board that in some ways will be more important than they are.

I also want to thank all those board members who refrained from getting political last night. There were mainly only two, possibly four, members who couldn't stay away from politics (I don't need to mention them by name as everyone can take a good guess) and at least two of them, based on their performance last night, should resign from the boards for conflicts of interest and interfering in a referendum. One member opened up the "can of worms" which lead to some citizens talking about the heights and expressing their feelings about what they are proposing as a "Hotel Enterprise District."

Blatant evidence of inompetence of present Commission and subersiveness of present Planning and Zoning Board,
, is being covered up by proposals from these incompetents ,deliterious to Lake Worth,a popular Town, they did not create.These incompetents, ignorant interlopers, incapable of Leadership, want to destroy all Lake Worth's assets,attracting tourism and residents, which knwoledgeable Citizens would have made lucrative resources of revenue.
It's best achievement, Szerdy's 1005 Lake Avenue, stillborn construction with bare unfinished ceiling, for John Romano,for years proven useless,unwanted,shabby attempt at destroying the architectural style of Lake Worth.!
This element was elected or appointed, with false promises, claims of knowlege of business creation, not destroying Lake Worth's assets, it's Olympic size swimming pool on Palm Beach Island,to make it into an office for lazy bums sitting to get fat while getting our tax money for pay..
Wellington's new Olympic size pool is a brilliant succes,with a diligent,knowledgeable, manager who conducts lessons for children,elderly and pool parties with admission fees.
Only lazy bums, who don't want to do their job,proof getting mostrously fat on the job,, want to destroy Citizens' property,necessary for the health and Wellfare of lake Worth taxpayers, children, unable to swim, and arthritic elderly,Olympic contenders from schools around us!!!,
elderly,whose only excercise can be done in a swimming pool to relive their pain, not to get fat of laziness..
Any responsible Commission,would fire the lazy bum who dares to propose, cutting his work load, to spend more time sitting and getting fat,while being paid,
to cover up his ignorance of how to make an Olympic size swimming pool on Palm Beach Island lucrative,bringing out its' natural revenue generating potential.Are all Commission memebrs idiots?No!
The proposal to destroy public property, is outrageous, and only the criminal element which feel appointed or elected, would propose the deliterious plans, to accommodate ignorant, incompetent,lazy employees!

In the sad history of Lake Worth's Commissions,( LYING POMPOUS IGNORANTS PUSHED BY FOUL INSTIGATORS)) not one has been able to see,that our vast Lake Worth's
PARK OF COMMERCE ,is the ideal land lot for AN ENTERPRISE zONE.
I KNOW 2 BUSINESSES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE ENTIRE LOT PART OF WHICH WOULD BE USED FOR PARKING THEIR CLIENTELE!
IF THIS COMMISSION AND P.&Z. RESPECT LAKE wORTH ,THEY WOULD CREATE LAKE WORTH'S pARK OF COMMERCE INTO AN ENTERPRISE ZONE.THAT TAKES VISION NOT SUBVERSIVENESS AND INTENTION TO ACCOMMODATE LAZY BUM EMPLOYEES GETTING FAT FROM INACITVITY,BUT SITTING IN AN OFFICE, GETTING PAID!
THE ENERGY ZONE OCCUPANTS OF OUR PARK OF COMMERCE, WOULD BE ENJOYING OUR PUBLIC SWIMMING POOL FOR RECREATION AFTER WORK.

It's obvious the members of the historic board do not care if historic districts exist. Even after being told by staff that the historic districts have held their property values, this board continues to go against the advise of staff to vote to allow structural changes to houses deemed contributing historic that will but them in danger of loosing that designation.
Enough houses loose the designation and the historic district looses it's designation.

Lorreta Sharpe is a loose canon. The consultant at the meeting last night shows them 7 lots where the new comp plan heights can go into effect and what does she do? Immediately starts calling it 6 lots!
Will someone please start correcting her improper rants from the dais. she is so biased she should not be on any advisory board.

The whole city an enterprise zone?

What citizen's asked for this or is it like most other programs - a UN Mandate? It's a UN Mandate - any taxpaying citizen who bothered to google the known problems w/this program would run from it like their ass is on fire!

W/out the people's FULL knowledge and understanding, this is on the extremely harmful list! See what your LOC legislative agenda is for 2013? Welcome Walmart (types)!
Behind your back they will come in and you may have 4 - 10 minutes TOTAL (only if you catch the item as it is flown thru the 'process' and made into law). Even your elected voted themselves 'out of the process' and since most don't read the back up they will be just as surprised as you are when 'Walmart' types are 'approved'.

Toss the word salad you've been served and read it for yourself.

We need to address our elected's addiction to Grant.
No hooker should be arrested till our 'employee's' get off their knees and stop the Co-Dependency!

At least a hooker gets paid - we beg for more "Printed Federal Dollars" inflating the value of what is already in circulation. So we pay pay pay - how far is your grocery or gas money stretching these days?

The Federal Government is LIMITED and the States are accountable to the people. So PLEASE - name the Citizens of Lake Worth who requested this program or is it just another 'bright idea' we all will suffer through?

At least tell the rest of the story - we will increase the tax base but you people will never see one darn dime because we know best and will just form another 'play fund' (roads and potholes are so boring) parks and POLICE SUB STATIONS are the new normal priority!

...and the parking thing - not to worry - in FL - ur gov has been working diligently to get you out of your car! There was a big study I printed up and READ way back in 2009. Even Jay Leno knows about VMT or Vehicle Miles Traveled. The incentives to get out of your car and stay in your "ZONE" will be so tempting - the choice will be made for you. Stay in your zone and get free stuff - drive a car and pay through the nose.

Now think - where does your food come from and how many miles does it travel to get here?
