It was a great day for a parade--the rain stayed away.

Where you have politicians you will get politics whether you want it or not. The Mayor gave kudos to this commission for bringing back the Veteran's Day Parade. The catalyst for all of this happening should be attributed to the citizens and veterans who wanted it.
Back in September 2007, the City Commission canceled the Veteran's Day
Parade. This to me was a tragic decision that was initiated by former
Commissioner, Retha Lowe, a member of what many believe was one of the worst commissions in
the history of Lake Worth consisting of Jeff Clemens and someone I personally like, Dave Vespo, who
allocated the money to another event, Hispanic Fest. The people spoke out against this decision to no avail.
As it's never too late to apologize, yesterday Sen Jeff Clemens did just that and said that he was sorry for eliminating the Veterans' Day parade during his mayoral term here in Lake Worth. We got it back and this parade was better than ever.

I don't get it 8:54 am. What does that mean? I did not see any discrimination, just a beautiful ceremony honoring the best of us.
ReplyDeleteTalking about 2007 when they took the parade away from the old Vets and honored the hispanics
ReplyDeleteThese parades cost money and when we are a city with very little money, think about the economy in 2007, the commission probably made what they thought was the best or better choice.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was a mistake, but I don't think anyone on that Commission or the current Commission had it out for the Vets or had it out for the Hispanics.
