Lake Worth's Historic District
Lake Worth neighbors hit roadblocks in upgrading historic homes against hurricanes
Historic preservation ordinance has restrictions
Read what Commissioner Hardy says... He is right! Can you even imagine not being allowed to install accordion hurricane shutters on your home?.
Think twice about buying into our historic district unless these problems can be solved.

Preston Smith
Some of you will remember when atheist Preston Smith gave the invocation at City Hall. This was back on December 2, 2014. The commission was so outraged that they all walked out after inviting him to speak. Chris McVoy was the only commissioner left in the room. Even atheist, Andy Amoroso walked out.
Well, this Florida teacher plans to erect a Satanic display at a park during this Christmas season to entice children to “hail Satan,” outraging local parents.
Preston Smith whose father was a minister, teaches language arts at a Boca Raton middle school, said he plans to display a 300-pound metal Satanic pentagram, sporting “One Nation Under Antichrist,” “May The Children Hail Satan,” and “In Satan We Trust,” in Sanborn Square.

Lake Worth now has electric rate parity with FPL
or so they say--
Electric Rate Parity -
Something that Vice Mayor Scott Maxwell was insistent upon was electric rate parity with Florida Power & Light.<
The city stated the following: On Tuesday night the commission confirmed that as of the first full bill in 2018 (January) a residential customer using 1000 KWH will be billed $0.21 less through LWU than through FP&L. The chart below shows a breakdown of how this is determined. An important note is the 8% franchise fee, this is a charge that FP&L would be charged to do business within the City and would pass on to customers. Because LWU is a City owned utility it does not have to pay this fee.

New Travel Restrictions Imposed by President Trump
As making America safe is a top priority of President Trump, he just imposed new travel restrictions that involve the following eight countries:
"We cannot afford to continue the failed policies of the past, which present an unacceptable danger to our country. My highest obligation is to ensure the safety and security of the American people, and in issuing this new travel order, I am fulfilling that sacred obligation."
~ President Donald Trump
Watch the Democrats and liberal judges go bananas.

Over-reaching developers nearly grabbed waterfront property for a 25 story high rise
A proposed 25 story office tower went down in flames last night when the West Palm Beach city commissioners voted 3/2 to defeat the project.
West Palm Beach wanted to create an overlay district to encourage development of high rises along Okeechobee Boulevard. Related Group wanted the waterfront at Okeechobee and Flagler for their One Flagler proposal. That property is zoned no higher than five stories.
When reading the article this morning it reminded me of what Lake Worth Commissioners did when they changed the zoning and the land use east of Federal to accommodate the owners of The Gulfstream Hotel. They created a Hotel District and allowed six stories to be developed and told the voters literally to "go to hell" who voted in a low-rise downtown Lake Worth of no more than four stories
Lake Worth's Planning & Zoning department voted to change our comprehensive plan and the land-development regulations and gave their recommendations to their "develop at all costs" leaders, Maxwell, Triolo and Amoroso, on the Lake Worth commission. The only ones who spoke out against it were ordinary citizens who were totally ignored as well as former Commissioner Christopher McVoy. Citizens formed a political action committee, Respectful Planning PAC. They rallied the voters and won by Referendum on March 13, 2013, five months before the city changed the Land Development Regulations on August 6, 2013 on a vote from the dais.
I congratulate West Palm Beach Commissioner Shanon Materio for voting this down thus preserving the waterfront on Flagler from an obnoxiously high development and to honor their voters (something all elected officials should be doing) who told them in 1996 that they did not want high rises on the waterfront.

Lake Worth Water Plant changing chlorination method

LAKE WORTH, FL - PUBLIC NOTIFICATION FOR CITY OF LAKE WORTH TO ALTER WATER CHLORINATION PROCESS OCTOBER 01, 2017 THROUGH OCTOBER 18, 2017
To maintain high water quality in the City of Lake Worth water distribution system, the City of Lake Worth Water Treatment Plant will temporarily change the water chlorination methods for two weeks from October 01, 2017 through October 18, 2017. The City of Lake Worth will also increase hydrant flushing during this time. This is a preventive maintenance process.
Starting October 01, 2017 a “free chlorine residual” water treatment method will be used to provide a stronger, faster acting disinfection process than the “combined chlorine or Chloramines” treatment which is normally used. The City of Lake Worth will revert back to the “combined chlorine” method by October 18, 2017. As part of this process, the City of Lake Worth will be flushing fire hydrants. This flushing will cause temporary water in the swales of the roadways. Please do not be alarmed by this water as it will dissipate within a few hours.
The City of Lake Worth and their Consecutive Systems water utility customers including Lake Osborne Estates, Hypoluxo Village, John Prince Park, Lantana Cascade and Palm Breezes Club may notice a slight chlorine taste or odor in their tap water during this period; however, these temporary conditions should not cause adverse health effects. If you are especially sensitive to the taste or odor of chlorine, keep an open container of drinking water in your refrigerator for a few hours to allow the chlorine to dissipate. Tropical fish tank owners, hospitals, dialysis patients and residents with pools should be aware of the chlorination changes and make adjustments accordingly. Any questions should be directed to the City of Lake Worth Water Treatment Plant (561) 586-1710.
Please note, if you have an aquarium or pond always test the water you add to your aquatic environment to be sure it is free of any chlorine, chlorinated water may be toxic to your aquatic environment. Chemical additives with directions are available at pet/fish supply stores for removing either free chlorine or chloramines from water for use in fish tanks or ponds.

Breaking News from Newsmax.com
Police arrested dozens of disability-rights activists among the 200 who lined up to protest at Monday’s Senate Finance Committee hearing on the latest Republican effort to repeal and replace Obamacare, which is spearheaded by Sens. Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy.
Protesters chanted, "No cuts to Medicaid! Save our liberty!" bringing the proceedings to a halt. Sen. Orrin Hatch, who put the committee in recess as police forcibly removed the protesters — many in wheelchairs — told the crowd that if they couldn’t remain quiet, “then get the heck out,” HuffPo reported.

Standing tall for America
Now who do you suppose had the most guts? Alejandro Villanueva without any doubt. He put all his elitist pussy teammates to shame. Being respectful to our flag and country was much more important than standing by those taking a knee.
“I don’t know if the most effective way is to sit down during the national anthem with a country that’s providing you freedom, providing you $16 million a year...when there are black minorities that are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan for less than $20,000 a year," Villanueva told ESPN in 2016.

Lake Worth to vote on final millage rate on September 26, 2017 at 6pm
At the September 19th city commission meeting, the city adopted a millage rate that was as follows:
So, we are paying the following millage:
5.4945 General fund
.7499 Bond debt
3.4581 MSTU County Fire
9.7025 TOTAL MILLS
We are only allowed to charge 10 mills by law...cutting it mighty close-- .2975 mills.
Read the published budget
With the inclusion of the County Fire MSTU millage 3.4581, the City’s maximum available Operating Millage cannot exceed 6.5419 mills. The tentative millage is 5.4945 mills (or $5.4945 per $1,000 assessed valuation), which is 7.24% more than the rolled-back rate of 5.1237 mills.Yesterday, the city published its proposed tax increase in the Palm Beach Post that states the increase is 12.9% more than last year's total operating expenditures.
So, we are paying the following millage:
5.4945 General fund
.7499 Bond debt

Black is now white in the crazy play book of liberals. What in the hell do they think they're doing? Liberals have taken this country past the point of no return with the American people unless they miraculously see the light and stop the destructiveness and divisiveness they have caused.

Quote of the Day - Omari Hardy
"If the city wants to attract more investment, it should revise historic preservation codes. Fixing that is one way to spur investment because it is too hard for people to invest in their own homes because we decided to tell them what their homes should look like even though the homes are theirs.If we want to spur more investment, make the city more safe, improve our infrastructure. There are 1,000 better ways to spur investment in the City of Lake Worth than to give voters a symbolic tax break."
~ Commissioner Omari Hardy
responding to the Vice Mayor's insistence that Lake Worth lower the millage by 1/4 point. The Mayor and Vice Mayor both voted to reduce the millage.
The Real Scoop on DACA
Get the REAL facts on DACA, not just the ones that liberals are shoving down your throat.
5 reasons Dreamers should NOT be given amnesty
Former Homeland Security Secretary,Janet Napolitano, said, "a person must have come to this country before age 16, lived here continuously for five years, been present in the country at the time the memo was issued, not have committed a felony or a 'significant' misdemeanor, and not have committed 'multiple misdemeanor offenses.'"
"Many Dreamers Have Committed Felonies and Other Crimes
DACA applies to individuals up to age 31 (as of June 2012, so 35 now) — hardly children; consequently, many Dreamers have long-since terminated their studies and most have committed multiple felonies in order to get jobs — Social Security fraud, forgery, perjury on I-9 forms, falsification of green cards and drivers' licenses, identity theft, etc. Dreamers continue to commit these job-related crimes right up to the day their DACA status is approved and they obtain work permits and their own genuine Social Security numbers.
In addition, many illegal aliens qualifying for DACA status have previously been arrested and convicted of multiple misdemeanors and some have previously been or continue to be associated with violent gangs, as evidenced by a report in the Seattle Times that states that over 1,500 Dreamers have had their DACA status revoked since 2012 due to their involvement with criminal gangs."[ Center for Immigration Studies]
The Obama administration’s unilateral enactment of DACA was lawless,
unconstitutional, damaging to the general welfare and recklessly
irresponsible, ill-serving everyone involved, illegal immigrants and
citizens alike. [en-Volve]

In addition, many illegal aliens qualifying for DACA status have previously been arrested and convicted of multiple misdemeanors and some have previously been or continue to be associated with violent gangs, as evidenced by a report in the Seattle Times that states that over 1,500 Dreamers have had their DACA status revoked since 2012 due to their involvement with criminal gangs."[ Center for Immigration Studies]

Retired Marine Col. writes to the NFL commissioners
Ret. Marine Col. Jeffery Powers wrote to the NFL commissioners the following:
Commissioners,
I’ve been a season pass holder at Yankee Stadium, Yale Bowl and the Giants Stadium.
I missed the ’90-’91 season because I was with a battalion of Marines in Desert Storm. 14 of my wonderful Marines returned home with the American Flag draped across their lifeless bodies. My last conversation with one of them, Sgt. Garrett Mongrella, was about how our Giants were going to the Super Bowl. He never got to see it.
Many friends, Marines, and Special Forces Soldiers who worked with or for me through the years returned home with the American Flag draped over their coffins.
Now I watch multi-millionaire athletes who never did anything in their lives but play a game, disrespect what brave Americans fought and died for. They are essentially spitting in the faces and on the graves of real men, men who have actually done something for this country beside playing with a ball and believing they’re something special! They’re not! My Marines and Soldiers were!
You are complicit in this! You’ll fine players for large and small infractions but you lack the moral courage and respect for our nation and the fallen to put an immediate stop to this. Yes, I know, it’s their 1st Amendment right to behave in such a despicable manner.
What would happen if they came out and disrespected you or the refs publicly?
I observed a player getting a personal foul for twerking in the end zone after scoring. I guess that’s much worse than disrespecting the flag and our National Anthem. Hmmmmm, isn’t it his 1st Amendment right to express himself like an idiot in the end zone?
Why is taunting not allowed yet taunting America is OK? You fine players for wearing 9-11 commemorative shoes yet you allow scum on the sidelines to sit, kneel or pump their pathetic fist in the air. They are so deprived with their multi-million dollar contracts for playing a freaking game!
You condone it all by your refusal to act. You’re just as bad and disgusting as they are. I hope Americans boycott any sponsor who supports that rabble you call the NFL. I hope they turn off the TV when any team that allowed this disrespect to occur, without consequence, on the sidelines. I applaud those who have not.
Legends and heroes do NOT wear shoulder pads. They wear body armor and carry rifles. They make minimum wage and spend months and years away from their families. They don’t do it for an hour on Sunday. They do it 24/7 often with lead, not footballs, coming in their direction. They watch their brothers carted off in pieces not on a gurney to get their knee iced. They don’t even have ice! Many don’t have legs or arms.
Some wear blue and risk their lives daily on the streets of America. They wear fire helmets and go upstairs into the fire rather than down to safety. On 9-11, hundreds vanished. They are the heroes.
I hope that your high paid protesting pretty boys and you look in that mirror when you shave tomorrow and see what you really are, legends in your own minds. You need to hit the road and take those worms with you!
Time to change the channel.

Liberals are the Racists
"One of the strangest things liberals do is constantly accuse
Republicans of being racist when the Democrats are without a doubt the
most racist people you will come across.
They are obsessed with race. It’s all they think about. Instead of viewing everyone as an American all they see is white guy, black woman, Hispanic child, etc."
Read about it... and a filmmaker charging white males more because of his warped beliefs on "privilege." I can only hope that white guys will not see his movie. As a frequent movie goer, I don't think any movie is worth the cost of the ordinary ticket today. So, why should my money go towards lining this racist's pocketbook.

Robert E. Lee
You would be hard pressed to find someone in our nation's history with more character, higher integrity, and a stronger sense of duty than Robert E. Lee. Yet somehow the liberal mainstream media and politically-correct police have managed to make many people believe that Lee stood for racism and slavery, when nothing could be further from the truth. Lee called slavery a "moral and political evil," prayed for it's abolition, and made many efforts to unite our country after Civil War ended." [PatriotDepot]
Healthcare Debate on CNN
HEALTHCARE DEBATE GOES PRIMETIME
Co-sponsors of the GOP’s new ObamaCare replacement, Sens. Bill Cassidy and Lindsey Graham, have agreed to a Monday CNN debate with Democratic Sens. Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar on the bill. Democratic aides reportedly fear that the pair walked into a trap, providing Republicans with an opportunity to frame their bill as an alternative to government-run care. [LaCorte Report]
McCain says "no."
Sen. John McCain said Friday he will not
support his party's Graham-Cassidy healthcare legislation, potentially dashing
GOP leaders’ latest hope of dismantling Obamacare. McCain joins Sen. Rand Paul
in publicly opposing the bill, while Sen. Susan Collins said Friday she is
leaning against it.
Senate Republicans can afford to lose no more than two members of their 52-48 majority and pass the bill by Sept. 30 without any Democrats voting for it. A vote taken any later than that would have to garner at least 60 votes rather than a simple majority.
McCain said in a statement that “a bill of this impact requires a bipartisan approach.” The Arizona senator cast a crucial “no” vote in July that helped defeat a different Republican bill to repeal Obamacare. [Newsmax]

DACA applications approved
TRUMP ADMIN APPROVES NEARLY 6,000 INITIAL DACA APPLICATIONS
In the months leading up to Pres. Trump's decision to end the unconstitutional DACA executive amnesty, his administration approved 5,860 new DACA applications between April 1 and June 30 and approved 96,708 renewals.
What stands out most, however, is the number of denials. The Trump administration denied 32% of the initial applications where a decision was made. The denial rate is nearly double the rate for all of 2016. While our hope was for Pres. Trump to end the DACA amnesty back in January, if there is a bright side, it's that his administration added more scrutiny to the applications and approved fewer requests. [NumbersUSA]
Mueller Overreach
As many conservatives have predicted, Special counsel Robert
Mueller has widened his witch hunt.
After hiring a few dozen liberal lawyers, all contributors to the Hillary Clinton campaign, he is driving his investigation far and wide in order to find anything that he can use against President Donald Trump and his staff. He has had the FBI conduct a raid on Paul Manaforts house. Manafort is President Trump’s campaign manager. He continues to attempt to make a case against Mike Flynn over alleged collusion with the Russians. Everyone knows that the Russian story was contrived by the Hillary Campaign staff right after the election. They need something quick to blame her unexplainable (to them) loss in the election.
Mr. Mueller has now decided to reach inside the White House and start reading their emails on the subject. This seems to be a great overreach on any level. Congress needs to step in and do something or they will wind up with a Constitutional crisis on their hands. The days of kangaroo courts were done away with long ago. Somebody needs to protect the President that We The People elected. Or suffer the consequences. [Allen West]

On HATE
Building bridges and eliminating "hate" are noble endeavors. As the mayor read the proclamation on "hate" at Tuesday's commission meeting, her tone was assertive. Perhaps she was reflecting "tough love" in her presentation but it sounded more than that--maybe a dressing down of anyone who dares to "hate." Everyone in the chamber and on the dais was politically correct and clapped madly after her proclamation.
The city's statement brought up Charlottesville where we all know that riots and even a death never would have happened if the hate group, Antifa, had not ascended on the scene to do violence against the other group, the KKK. You are never going to end hate groups but you can, as city officials, find a way to deny permits to them.
Black minorities are raising havoc and protesting everything imaginable...even want reparations from Whitey because of slavery 150 years ago. Prior to that, blacks in Africa were putting their own people on slave ships and shipping them to America for profit. Different times; different cultures. And what some blacks did to white people after the civil War--horrors.
I remember John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson and how we all, as a nation, had come together for civil rights. I was a proud Democrat back then and was for 40 years. I thought all this "hate" was over with and then came Barack Obama 50 years later. Obama emphasized his black heritage, not his white, the start of the racial divide. At that time, 70% of Americans thought race relations were better and would continue under Obama. Instead, racial relations was one of Obama's biggest failures. His erstwhile pastor, Jeremiah Wright, was brought into the mix with his "God damn America pitch. That was the deciding factor in my life to officially change my party affiliation once and for all.
NO one can convince me not to abhor the person or persons in the video below with their warped sense of injustices that they believe the African American has suffered and is still suffering in a land with opportunity for all. And I have no use for people such as these and don't feel the least bit guilty.
