Palm Beach County Day, Tallahassee
Well, the City Manager and City Commissioners were scheduled to leave for Tallahassee at 7am this morning in order to rub shoulders with legislators. Their excuse for this excursion is to see if they can get any money for our poor city. What does our lobbyist do? After generations (Lake Worth is only 101 years old) of total road neglect, according to the Vice Mayor, we are in desperation for road and infrastructure repair. He forgets that it was he and this commission that reduced the budget in half for street maintenance. As we found out last night, the least transparent commission in history once again is placing the general obligation bond for infrastructure and roads on the August ballot. And don't forget those poor dirt roads that have never been paved that is "criminal" in the mind of Maxwell.
The only one flying up will be Commissioner McVoy who hasn't spent one dime of his travel budget this past budget cycle going on 5 months now. The rest of the crew, who don't have bosses to report to, will be taking a long seven hour ride. We are to assume that they will be talking about the weather, the scenery and how much gas per mile they will get in that rented van. Talking about city business is verboten--Sunshine Laws you know.
To date, the initial expenses are as follows:
$750 for registration fees
$758 for Bornstein's room and van rental
$$485.30 for Triolo room
$485.30 Maxwell room
$485.30 for Amoroso room
$974.20 for McVoy flight and room
$3,398.10 with more expense sheets to be turned in.
Where are the tourists from Sopot?
