Money isn't everything but the Lake Worth YES Pac thinks it is. $50,000 wasn't enough for this group. They raised $19,950,00. It has to make everyone sit up and take notice--spending $70,000 to win an election is not about potholes. It's too bad that every voter will not know about this obscene amount of money to put this city in debt for 34 years.
It got some large contributions from the following:
- $5,000: Marty Welfeld, Parrot Cove resident
- $1,000: Friends of Mark Foley, former Congressman who sent suggestive emails and sexually explicit instant messages to teenage boys who had formerly served and were at that time serving as Congressional pages
- $2,000: Southern Waste Systems, the company that dumped all sorts of questionable stuff on our landfill and was involved in suspicious campaign contributions to a resident who was fined by the elections commission for accepting them.
- $1,000: Weiner, Lynn and Thompson LLC in Delray, municipal and county land development zoning regulation lawyers.
- $1,500: Hudson Holdings Lake Worth LLC, a property management company in Delray that recently bought The Gulfstream Hotel
- $1,400: In-kind contribution from a community affairs manager for printing
- $2,000: Committee for a Prosperous Florida PAC:
wow, what a trip this is. Look at all the bad guys they align themselves with and they have no shame about it. Lake Worth is being set up for a takeover by developers. Noticed where they got another contribution from Atlantis and all they do is gripe about Dorsey living there. What a bunch of phony hypocrites.
ReplyDeleteI fully believe that this is the most corrupt city government in its history.
ReplyDelete1:45, carol please put your head back up your a$$ where it fits so well.
ReplyDeleteBecause of comments like that above, anonymous at 2:19, I hope you guys lose big time. Serve you right. As Carol is anonymous to me as are you, it's sort of fair game to post your comment. It's too bad that what ever upset you about her comment that you did not address the subject matter directly without resorting to name-calling. Why do you guys do that?
ReplyDelete2:06 Please provide 1 example of why you think this is the most corrupt government in the city's history?
ReplyDeleteCarol please explain what you mean by "bad guys"? I don't know Marty Welfeld. What makes him a "bad guy"?
Lynn when Foley got CAUT you claimed it was a democratic witch hunt and he really didn't do anything wrong. Why is it wrong now?
Hudson Holdings? The company that just purchased and is going to renovate the only hotel in town? They're "bad people"? How, why? Nice way to welcome them to town.
Badmouth, criticize, insult, lie do whatever it is you want. You can also include this on the long list of issues you've been wrong about in Lake Worth. And you're going to lose this one too.
When Foley got caught I claimed it was WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? You have lost it. It's that figment of your wild imagination that is really dangerous. Take a chill. I am a Democrat and was a staunch Dem back them and I never said that about Foley. Gawd.
ReplyDeleteP.S. You're going to lose. Obscene money and obscene comments deserve to lose. :)
To address the bad guy comment made above--there are a few on this list that in my mind are. Sun Recycling was immoral in what they did to the landfill and to the people living around it. Retha Lowe was fine with it I guess. Mark Foley the pervert. Then you have to wonder what HH want by involving themselves in the local politics. It seems rather obvious. E.R. Bradley's? Remind me not to go there. Lufty who never paid her tax liens? A few different players but the same old people behind the scenes. It does get might old.
ReplyDeleteI am a yes voter. Ithink the city deserves a make over. But, all in all why should I care. I live in a good neighborhood where very little if any work would be done. If the against vote prevails I save 80 dollars a month. I do not frequent the blighted areas. If the people are okay with the potholes and blight I say let them have it.
ReplyDeleteI've always said, this vote is not about me. It's bad timing. It's too much money. The term is too long. Roads need to be repaired but there must be a smaller plan until our economy turns around.
