Katie asked me if I had read an article in the PBPost regarding public meetings. It is an interesting article by Dominic Calabro of Florida TaxWatch that focuses on government accountability and transparency, something we are always complaining about here in Lake Worth.
The first paragraph reads: "We must continue to fight to protect the public’s right to maintain a vigilant eye on their elected officials. The cornerstone of our constitutional democratic republic is protecting citizens’ right to full and public notice when their elected officials are discussing or making decisions that could affect everyone’s daily lives."
One of the revealing tidbits of important information and something neither Katie nor I knew is that in 2012, the Florida Legislature voted in a law that said newspapers are required to e-mail any new notices free of charge to anyone who has requested that they be notified.
So, with that said, everyone needs to contact the Lake Worth Herald, a news publication that is totally partisan and one that gets all of the city business, and request that your e-mail address be included for all future public meeting notices.

I guess we can only do that with the Tribune for the few weeks before and after elections.
You don't have to worry about the Tribune as the city never gave the Tribune any public notice business.
The tribune was a hack job financed by Dennis Dorsey propped up by fake (unpaid) ads. It really has very little to do with actually reporting the latest and current news - and was simply a tool written by a fool who often drools meant to treat the rest of us like stools (as in turds or pieces of shit).
If indeed it had a paid circulation and wasn't free then I guess either poor management or per marketing cause it to fail… Or it simply lived it's life of usefulness and then died upon election
None of the above at 2:37 is the truth.
It's really too bad that you all deal in myths and lies and distortions and just plain fantasy.
This was a newspaper that just couldn't make it thanks to you ruining her business, picking up newspapers and throwing them in the trash and doing a complete hatchet job on truth. It was the only paper that told the truth unlike what we have in this city today. I wish that she had developed a business plan in order to stay in business or had the money to continue. Too bad.
Post under your own name so you can be sued. Dare ya.
