City of Lake Worth Campaign Spending

Comment Up

Final accounting of the LW 2020 general obligation election campaign and educational outreach effort  that was paid through a Commission approved $50k budget. Lake Worth continually told the public that they were not campaigning, only "educating" the public.  Then why buy a voter's list?

  4. $400 for the voter list?

    Which LOCAL Artist did the artwork?

    What would the cost have been to put this in the electric bill?

    $368 For refreshments? How is that not buying a vote?

    $9,219 For PROFESSIONAL SERVICES!
    Who is Daryl Glenny - a LOCAL?

  5. that $50,000 would have filled quite a few potholes. Regardless of my position on LW2020 I don't think its appropriate at all for the City to be campaigning for or against it.

  6. Daryl Glenney is a paid political consultant with her company in Palm Beach. She recently wrote an Op-ed published in PB Post stating that voters in our last election on the 2020 Bond issue got it wrong. She never stated she was PAID, JUST said she worked for the bond and felt it should have passed. She failed in earning her dollars for City Officials who hired her. She assured them she could get the bond passed and she Also failed so no wonder she admonished the no vote. PB Post shouldnt even have printed this letter from her without proper disclosure.

  9. Well call me "stupid"!! When I read her letter in the paperI wondered why a Palm Beacher was so concerned about our election. She certainly had a "dog in the hunt" and is a sore loser too. Wouldn't hire a firm that acted so unprofessional.

  11. 368.00 for refreshments?! HOW IS THAT EDUCATION??? I didn't see any refreshments in my neighborhood . Just where were these refreshments? Why did they need 50,000 to educate us anyway ?Didn't city hall claim that they had had two years of in depth conversations with the citizens before this was put on the ballot ?

  12. The $368.00 was probably what was spent on refreshments for the presentation at the Gym. I personally walked from the Southend to the Northend on B,C,D,E,&F Streets.Everyone was invited, and it was advertised, and all Over Facebook. Of course No One that reads this Blog, would never be caught in That Neighborhood.

  13. It's buying votes. The Osborne gym has nothing to do with my neighborhood and I had already heard the propaganda too many times.

  14. Just as I said you would never go into that neighborhood, and I hardly think you can buy a vote with a Hotdog. The timing of the presentation coincided, with when several of the Church's concluded their services.

  15. I have been in that NA many times, anonymous. Take a nap.

  17. You could buy my vote for a hotdog if it was Hebrew National!

  18. Those Vienna hot dogs from the Chicago guy were the best, Heb National are all fat, sodium and waste.

  19. Seriously, handing out refreshments, that does sound like pay for play.
