Channel 12 is deleting videos that have a negative story and those that put Lake Worth in any sort of truthful light. Has this current administration  "gotten to them?"  We know that the Wes Blackman Blog did a hatchet job on Channel 12 as well as Katie McGiveron and myself the day after we were interviewed about abandoned cars in Lake Worth.  Comment on that blog is libelous and the b log author allows his blog to be smut personified..

Back on February 27, 2014, they did a segment on abandoned vehicles in Lake Worth and Katie and I got to make a statement. They deleted the video that was produced on abandoned cars in Lake Worth. Why is that? Iis it intimidation from the Lake Worth officials? Did WPEC fall for the ploy and the suggestion that they weren't being fair to the city? That they interviewed the "disgruntled" opposition?  Has the free press been compromised? We no longer see videos on the slum, blight or crime in our city.

Following is the text of that video:

Lake Worth residents frustrated with abandoned properties, graffiti

Story by Lauren Hills / CBS 12 NEWS

LAKE WORTH, Fla. - Abandoned properties, graffiti, and damaged cars.

"It's been an ongoing problem," said Katie McGiveren, Lake Worth resident. "Blight breeds blight and we're very frustrated."

Lake Worth has about 1,500 homes in foreclosure and about 2,000 abandoned ones.

McGiveren says abandoned cars are also becoming a problem.

There's one on 3rd Ave. south with flat tires and a notice that says it would be towed away.

Those who live nearby say the vehicle has been there for months, despite the city ordinance that says inoperative vehicles cannot be stored on any premises.

"It seems like we're becoming a dumping ground for people with junk cars and they leave them here," said Lynn Anderson, Lake Worth resident. "We want to see improvements it's our city, home, and want it to be a beautiful place."

Code enforcement posts violation notices on abandoned properties and it lists multiple options for the owner within a certain time frame.
