Lake Worth Chamber of Commerce

Comment Up

Nearly three years ago and before the merger with the Central Palm Beach Chamber, Commissioner Mulvehill wanted to include in the motion that the debt that was owed to us by the Chamber be included in the contract. The "visionaries" did not want to include the debt and the Vice Mayor even went so far as to say, "It is inappropriate to put it on the agenda." Maxwell further stated that "It is irresponsible to make allegations; it takes away from the spirit."

The Chamber owed the city money in the amount of $10,450 that included a "lost" golf cart.  Also, it was stated that the merger would not trigger the repayment of the $300,000 that was given to them by the City of Lake Worth back in 2005 as it would not constitute a cessation of existence, an agreement in the structured deal. Read about another deal to the Chamber, Your Tax Dollars paying for Chamber Mortgage...just more shenanigans.

Now we learn Tuesday night that the Chamber of Commerce has this Lake Avenue building up for sale. This commission did not protect our interest in this building at the time of the merger.

According to PAPA:
Improvement Value $174,674
Land Value $177,820

Total Market Value $352,494

Can we buy it or does this belong to the CRa?

The building belongs to the Chamber but is in the CRA district. We did not get a degree of certainty that it was for sale...just a rumor that it was.

I wish someone would come out with what really happened back when we had our own chamber. Let the chips fall where they will. Seems the main culprit likes to sue everyone and he is the one responsible for the position we find ourselves in. The building is most likely gone. What a shame.

We just need to start over again.

The CRA and the Chamber of Commerce are corrupt Siamese twins that screw the citizens. DO NOT reintroduce that cancer called the Chamber back into Lake Worth.Once we get a new Commission and Mayor we can take over the CRA,kick the ridiculously over paid "Mz. Silicone " out of town and open the CRA books to the I.G.'s office for inspection.

10:21 is the angry lady from lake Osborne. You know who, the one who stood on the median of the bridge with a sign thanking voters, like kids do at wrestling shows.

You guys sure like to guess.
Anyway, if you are guessing who I think you are, I was with her and it was a great thing to do--thanking the voters. How many people EVER do that? How many people EVER take time out of their busy lives to EVER say thank you for anything?
We were anything but angry...just grateful. Thanks for remembering this, anonymous...it proves it made an impact on someone! :)
