John Szerdi even singled out Commissioner McVoy by saying that he too has been out and about and that he had a copy of the 1944 deed to the golf course in his hand when he walked down Golfview Road recently. He further stated that he can confirm the confusion about selling the course and found it tough to run into that issue when there are other issues to talk about, having to repeat himself over and over again that it can't be sold. Three commissioners brought up the golf course taking subtle pot shots at the Lake Worth Tribune's article that merely mentioned a resident's request that it be sold.
It wasn't too many months ago when deed restrictions did not matter when this commission wanted to take a huge hunk of John Prince Park and bulldoze it for a national ball field. They were told about those deed restrictions and instructed the city attorney to find out how to go around them and garner support from neighboring municipalities to get that ball field here.
You can't trust a politician when they want something. You just can't. And one thing that we definitely know, these four commissioners want to grab your cash for the largest amount that they think the property owners will allow for their infrastructure program.
John Szerdi just happened to have a copy of the deed in his hand while he was out campaigning? Can you imagine that. I can't even imagine people being so stupid that they couldn't read the article and grasp the subject of it. Szerdi took advantage and used it to sooth the worries of all those golf course owners to get their vote turning the article into something it was not. He must be getting lessons from Blackman.
ReplyDeleteIMO, I think it was more like stirring the pot, if you want to be accurate.
ReplyDeleteSilly to mention the possibility of selling the golf course, but to print the suggestion on paper is insanity.
ReplyDeleteRead the article, anonymous. She was writing about SUGGESTIONS. It happened. It was fact. Should a reporter just pretend that she never heard it? Is that what you think the press is all about? Sounds like Obama politics to me.
ReplyDeleteWe don't get her paper here on north of street.
ReplyDeleteIs this the same reporter who us also the editor? The same editor who's food critic went to Bennys and ordered a hotdog? He went to critic a restaurant and ordered a hotdog! Have you seen the menu at Bennys? How old is the food critic, 5 or 11?
ReplyDeleteI went to a restaurant last week and ordered a hotdog. I like hotdogs. There are only two ways of cooking them--grilled or boiled. This crazy chef deep fried it. I thought I was eating beef jerky. It was the most dreadful thing I had ever had in my life4. I have decided NOT to go back to that place as the hot dog was the last straw. If a place can't cook a hotdog, what else can't they cook properly?
ReplyDeleteAs far as Benny's at the Beach goes, it is not the same place as it used to be.
It wasn't that long ago during a city commission meeting that Scott Maxwell directed staff to look into the deed restrictions with the idea of selling part of the golf course after Loretta Sharpe demanded staff look into it.
ReplyDeleteCorrect on Bennys, it's better then ever.
ReplyDeleteHigher prices and smaller portions of food. You can't even get a cup of coffee at the outside window anymore as the window is all gone. Customers are paying for all the remodeling.
ReplyDeleteDeed restrictions can be negotiated out and the property sold. I question whether there is one deed to the entire golf course property. Some of that land was filled in when the intracostal was dredged years ago and they needed a place to put the dirt. It's not so much the deed restrictions as the will of the people of this city controls. I believe this would have to go to the voters first and does anyone think the citizens want to see the course sold. Should the will of the people control?
ReplyDeleteI got a local fried hotdog that was cold in the center and a bit too dark on the outside...apparently there are some places known for frying the dogs and all sorts of toppings but I couldn't even eat anything more than both ends till burnt cold dog taste stopped me...
ReplyDeletethis certainly is a blog for unhappy people to vent. funny though,never a solution or a helping hand just mindless complaints.
ReplyDelete12:46 how come you're complaining about something here? Give us a solution.
ReplyDeleteThe chapel y the sea property in wpb was deed restricted as open land and wpb has approved a ginormous condo. I don't think anyone on commission wants to sell the golf course or that it would happen, but you never know and a deed restriction would be unlikely to stop it.
