Month of November legal for Referendums Supervisor is told

Comment Up

Greatly admired attorney Ken Spillias of Lewis, Longman and Walker and one who advises the Supervisor of Elections, just told Susan Bucher that she has no legal authority to prevent a city referendum from going to the polls this November.

Remember, this is why Lake Worth's general obligation bond referendum will be on the ballot in August, a month that is expected to have little turn-out. It is curious as to why Lake Worth did not challenge this as the referendum will affect all property owners and the amount they will be taxed for 30 years. Don't you think they would want to have the vote in the month where voters actually show up at the polls?

P.S. I hope that Palm Beach Garden's referendum passes on term limits.

The commission that is smarter than we are wants this to pass. They have enough money to urge everyone to get to the polls and vote away pot holes. No one is going to understand this by what they receive in the mail other than the voters need to vote for it otherwise doom and gloom.
