Legal issues City of Lake Worth

On January 7, there are two legal cases that will be discussed behind closed doors. These are just two of many. The city picks and chooses those they like to "settle." The greater the risk of losing, the more likely the settlement. The city attorney, Glen Torcivia, gives most cases a 50/50 chance of winning. The city couldn't see straight when it came to the flim flam man. In the end, the residents lose. The only case that was and still is dirty politics, is the height amendment. They wouldn't think of rolling over on that one--too political.

Joseph Viera vs. the City of Lake Worth

Street Outdoor LLC
These are the bums who put up the outdoor billboards and threatened suit if we did not comply. This is a contract/breach dispute. Nothing surprising about that. They ran all over us from inception and now we are allotting the "settlement" money, or I should say, what's left of it, for the Park of Commerce dream of this commission, a commission that actually wants development so much that it doesn't care if it puts the city into a long-term big debt to do it. It believes we should pay for developer infrastructure. But I divert--Street Outdoor LLC needs to be run out of town.
