Lake Worth, FL - Hiring of Lee Menke, Director of Information Technology

The City of Lake Worth has hired a new Director of Information Technology, Lee Menke, who will start today. Lee comes to the City with 15 years of state and municipal government experience in Information Technology leadership, management and project development.

Lee is leaving a position as the Information Systems Manager for the Broward County Board of County Commissioners where he directed the IT Operations of the 9th largest library system in the country. In this position he maintained 99.9% uptime for an extensive data centre; developed cloud and local based capital projects that improved efficiency and productivity; managed the Digital Divide project which provides internet access to economically disadvantaged residents and deployed 450 hotspots to provide internet access to retired and active military personnel and their families.

“As technology has changed and improved, Lake Worth has had a difficult time keeping up.  Limited resources and implementation issues have hampered our capabilities, however having someone like Lee come on board will propel us into the future.” ~City Manager Michael Bornstein

Quote of the Day - President Trump

“Allegations made by Senator Jon Tester against Admiral/Doctor Ron Jackson are proving false. The Secret Service is unable to confirm (in fact they deny) any of the phony Democrat charges which have absolutely devastated the wonderful Jackson family. Tester should resign.”

A Liberal who says Robert Mueller should be investigated

The Deplorable woman who says she is a comedian



Totally attacked our President -- Glad the President did not attend. Her routine was unkind and uncouth but not as bad as I thought it would be. Her attack on Mike Pence was outrageous as well as her attack on Sarah Sanders who was sitting at the dais, an invited guest. Roasts are out of control today.

The Attack on our Constitution

Some in congress, other than all Democrats, want to protect Robert Muller and his Witch Hunt. No Trump/Russian collusion has been proved but Democrats are hoping that something, anything, might stick. The Democrats only needed one Republican but they got four.

[FrontPageMag] Four Republican senators voted to protect the Clinton-Mueller coup effort. The bill would prevent Mueller or a special prosecutor from being fired without, effectively, the approval, passive or active, of a Federal judge.

This is giving federal judges more power than anyone in the country, even the president of the united states.
The bill, sponsored by Tillis and Graham (R-S.C.) with Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Christopher Coons (D-Del.), would codify Department of Justice regulations that say only a senior Department of Justice official can fire Mueller or another special counsel.

It would give a special counsel an "expedited review" of their firing. If a court determines that it wasn't for "good cause," the special counsel would be reinstated.

Monument to the victims of Abortion

Tom Brokaw and the Me Toos


How did this get so out of control? Feminists and the Me Too Movement who hate men. What else can it be?

Sure, there are predators out there and men and women who abuse their power but the Tom Brokaw charge is just plain nuts. People flirt and men and women make passes in order to get to know each other. How far back do you want to take this?  I was sitting in 4th grade and some boy pulled my pony tail? What ever happened to due process in this country? 

This sickening crap has to stop as feminists are ruining men's lives and people in general are protesting anything and everything and literally crawling out of the woodwork. Men are afraid to even ask a woman out on a date now. And you women have done it to yourselves and to the rest of sane people everywhere.

Atlanta Appellate Court stays lower court's ruling on restoration of felon voting rights

Al Sharpton: 'We Are Going to Turn on the Light in the Sunshine State'

If Al Sharpton wants felons to be able to vote in Florida, than I have a big problem with the entire idea and will have to study it further.

Originally I signed Jo-Ann Golden's petition one night down at the Cultural Plaza to restore the voting rights of convicted Florida felons. I was hesitant but the rationale for me was, if you've done your time than you're rights should be restored. It was a black and white decision for me. I didn't think it through enough.

Even though the ballot amendment made exceptions for murder and rape, it is a known fact that most criminals re-enter the prison system. For the most part, they do not get rehabilitated. There are consequences from committing crimes that violate the rights of others and one consequence should be the restoration of voting rights. Voting is a privilege that should not be taken lightly..

According to Sunshine State News, "We have an estimated 1.6 million convicted felons in Florida and we are one of a few states that do not automatically restore voting rights to felons who have completed their sentences. An estimated 600,000 felons could have their voting rights restored if voters approve the measure, which will appear on the November ballot as Amendment 4.

The ruling Wednesday from the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals handed Gov. Rick Scott and the other members of the Board of Executive Clemency a decisive victory by blocking a federal judge’s order that would have required the state to overhaul Florida’s process of restoring the right to vote to felons by yesterday."

Will James Comey go to Prison?

Probable Cause Exists That Comey Committed Criminal Espionage Says Expert

Lawyer and legal expert, Robert Barnes, says there is probable cause that James Comey committed criminal espionage against President Trump and that charge carries a 10-year prison sentence. When Comey left the FBI, he took his memos with him.

The problem is those memos belong to the government. He also said it doesn’t matter if the Justice Department had a chance to classify them yet because the moment he wrote about his meetings with the president, they were automatically classified.

Municipalities need to leave Gun Control to the State, Feds


Letters to the Editor
Palm Beach Post
April 26, 2018

Leave gun control to the state, feds

Time for the petty city council boards to accept that gun control is not part of their agenda. State law limits their powers very specifically, so learn to deal with it and get on with life.

Enough waffling around when a group wants to control assault or assault-style rifles, simply because their book club decided it would be a good project to get behind when they probably would not recognize a real assault weapon if they met it on the street.

Good intentions, perhaps, and they are aware that incumbents are so worried about winning the next election that they will agree to their requests, but not a threat they are likely to ever face at the pool deck.

Let the councils worry about local infrastructure needs, which are certainly abundant enough to keep them busy, and let the state and federal lawmakers handle gun control.

Cover the Border Wall with Solar Panels


This should shut up the liberal weenies because they believe in solar energy, right? On top of everything else, Democrats need to realize that illegals can't continue to walk across our border --we are a nation of laws. Liberals have spread the word that we are a nation of free stuff...they need a Democratic vote that badly. And think about it, we can sell this power back to Mexico--a way for them to pay for the wall.

Lake Worth, FL – The City of Lake Worth Electric Utility is currently performing work on a high voltage line as part of our system hardening and reliability improvement project. For the safety of the crews carrying out this work the automatic customer restoration features for this circuit will be turned off temporarily. While the City does not anticipate any outages during this period, if an outage were to occur it would affect customers located West of Congress from Melaleuca to 10th Ave North. To ensure that any outages are responded to rapidly, our crews will remain on standby to provide manual restoration until the automatic customer restoration feature is able to safely be turned back on. The work is being carried out between 8am – 4pm, Monday to Friday, for the next two weeks.

We need E-Verify


Economist George Borjas of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government estimates that illegal immigration reduces native-born workers’ wages by between $99 billion and $118 billion a year. The economic gains from illegal immigration, he finds, flow mainly to those who employ illegal workers.

Isn't it high time that we had E-Verify as a state and federal law?  Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas mandate E-Verify for public employees and state contractors--we need E-verify for ALL workers. [LawLogix]

Last night's Workshop on Land Development Regulations and Refuse Operations


I watched the entire meeting at home and it was much more interesting than I expected it to be. Commissioner Hardy had some good questions that made some on the dais including William Waters uncomfortable and annoyed. Hardy, once again, dominated the meeting with his ideas and queries. He was against the FAR, the Floor Area Ratio, in particular. No one could tell him why it was substantive.

I did not see the agenda on the city's web site until Monday. It never was on the calendar. I first found out about this meeting from a friend who pointed out the excerpt in the Sunday Palm Beach Post. The city manager is under the impression that it was up on Friday at 1pm. If it was, I totally missed it. The public spoke to this issue. Personally, I believe it was just an oversight, as generally the city does a good job getting information to the public..

I agreed with Janet Serrano when she spoke at around 2:49:21 into the video. Actually there were great comments by all.

The next time the LDR's come back will be at a public hearing when the commission will vote on the changes.

President Trump warns Iran

Trump Issues BIG WARNING To Iran Involving Nuclear Program Relaunch

“You can mark it down. If they restart their nuclear program they will have bigger problems than they ever had before.”

[Politico] Despite the howls of the Democratic Party Resistance, Trump is right that the Iran deal is “an embarrassment to the United States.” In fact, it’s the most deficient accord in the history of American arms control diplomacy. Many aspects of it require reconsideration, and none more essential than its research and development provisions.

To realistically obstruct Iran’s path to nuclear arms, Washington must first deny it the technology most essential for the production of such weapons. No renegotiation will be complete without first undoing Salehi’s ingenious achievement.

DNC lawsuit against Trump, Russia and Wikileaks was just a cheap Stormy Daniels PR stunt

The DNC has made a major faux pas when they filed their lawsuit claiming that there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. It was a huge mistake. Because of that suit, Republicans can now depose Hillary Clinton, under oath, on tape, and without softball questions.

The same can be said for Debbie Wasserman Schultz and several other DNC officials as well as any Democrat who claimed there was evidence of collusion. It’s one thing to make those accusations on TV and an entirely different matter in a deposition and under oath.

Donald Trump's Love for America

"Donald Trump has made huge sacrifices for this country in his first year as President. He gave up his comfortable lifestyle in quest to make this country great again.

But despite this, he CONSTANTLY is persecuted each and every day by the liberal media, obstructionist Democrats, and lunatic leftists... just for fulfilling his promises.

Just in case there is some liberal weenie out here who doesn't know about what our president has achieved here are some facts since President Trump took office:
  • Unemployment has fallen to a 17 year low
  • Over 1.9 million jobs have been added
  • The stock market has gone up more than six TRILLION dollars
  • ISIS is on the run
  • New home sales have soared to a 10 year high
But unlike Obama, Donald Trump has sacrificed his own wealth to make America prosperous for EVERYONE. It's been estimated by Forbes that he has personally lost around $600 million dollars of his own wealth since taking office and he has never accepted his presidential salary, donating it to needy causes."

Mitt Romney fails to secure Utah GOP nomination, will face primary


[Powdered Wig] CNN reports that after the initial round of votes, when none of the 12 candidates were able to cross that threshold, the party continued with successive rounds of caucus voting until one candidate reached 40%.

On the second round of voting, Utah state representative Mike Kennedy emerged in the lead with 50.88%. Romney came in a close second with 49.12%.

As a reminder, The Hill points out that in 2016, Romney made waves when he urged Republicans to oppose Trump. He called Trump a “fraud” who lacked the character to be president.

Beach Complex Charette

How can we screw up your beach complex?

As soon as I arrived this morning at 9am, Commissioner Herman Robinson was there so I had to chide him just a bit about being the guy who wants to ruin our beach. Chris Zimmerman, Owner and President of CPZ Architects was there along with several associates. CPZ is a Broward County CBE firm with a local staff of 10 employees, 3 of which are registered Architects. They were awarded the design contract from the City of Lake Worth.

Primarily the residents were there to give the design team our ideas on what we want at our beach. That was easy for me--leave it alone; repair our pool, open up the view so that it can be seen by those driving by; redo the lockers and bathrooms and if necessary, build a parking garage on the lower level and keep our decal parking. Lease the 2nd floor space or build-out around its perimeter for city purposes for offices for the Recreation Department and lifeguards and have the space in the middle to lease out for small meetings. Do not spend small fortunes. Essentially that is it.

They had a sign-in sheet and a comments page to fill out on various topics such as parking, do we want more retail space,  what do do with the upper level space, etc. Herman was insistent that I sign it. No problem, commissioner--I do everything under my own name--no anonymous for me!

The only thing they needed on the form was--give us your ideas on how we can screw up your beach complex. Only a few years ago, we spent $11 million dollars re-doing our casino, the upper level as well as the parking below. We can dream big and what we dream may not even be close to what we can afford or actually need. Fiscal responsibility is what's needed for our poor city...keep that in mind elected officials and city management.

DNC desperate - Suing Russia and Trump Campaign

Democratic Party files suit alleging Russia, the Trump campaign, and WikiLeaks conspired to disrupt the 2016 election

The suit asserts that the Russian hacking campaign — combined with Trump associates’ contacts with Russia and the campaign’s public cheerleading of the hacks — amounted to an illegal conspiracy to interfere in the election and caused serious damage to the Democratic Party.

The DNC is desperate as no one can find collusion against the President. Now they're after Wikileaks  accusing them of conspiring to disrupt the 2016 presidential election along with the President's son Donald Trump Jr. and son-in-law Jared Kushner. The DNC says Russia found a "willing and active partner" in the Trump campaign to attack American democracy and defeat Hillary Clinton.[CNBC]

Read about it.... The Democratic party is proving more and more every day that they are the only obstructionists to our democracy as the President continues to remind them. Now they're looking stupid to boot. Perhaps the DNC should sue Tom Perez instead for bringing more harm to the Democratic party.

Commissioners and their "stipends"

Riviera votes to end individual $12,000 stipends for council

That is the headline in today's Palm Beach Post on the front page.

Apparently in Riviera Beach, if its commission wants a raise, it has to go by the voters.  But call it a "stipend" and you get away with it. Aren't elected officials clever? That's why municipalities pay big bucks to their city attorneys.

Here in Lake Worth, this commission of Maxwell, Triolo and Amoroso voted themselves in a whopping raise--$10,100 more for a commissioner or $24,500 a year and an additional $14,100 for mayor bringing that salary up to $29,500. Plus they all get $6,000 a year for a car allowance  I won't even mention all the benefits such as medical, life insurance, etc. The commissioners who voted against this were McVoy and Maier.

They work so hard at ribbon cuttings and figuring out how to screw up good things like our beach and pool and have made this job more part-time than ever--only one commission meeting in November, December and January. And everything is thrown on the Consent Agenda.  They don't even have to discuss spending your money, unless, of course, you are Commissioner Hardy who wants to grandstand on guns and sanctuary city status and put the city through a stupid ordeal.

Now tomorrow they are having a charette about our beach complex saying they want community input. No they don't--they already know what they're going to do to our beach.

He says he respects the law but in the same breath says "I hate it," and it "sucks." He wants to close down the gun show at the Scottish Rite, a monthly business in Lake Worth. He even entertained the idea of suing the State of Florida because he is against the State "hollowing out Home Rule," an act he feels is unconstitutional. The city attorney will look into it. Hardy has no problem incurring legal fees here.

I remember when the City of Lake Worth said that the State had precedent on a law it enacted three months after our Heights Amendment passed with 58% at the polls and therefore our vote was moot.  They told us, too bad, so sad. But like a lot of puffed up elected officials, laws are only good when they agree with their political agenda. View the video below.

City of Lake Worth's Charette on the beach complex

The city wants you to bring your questions and ideas to the meeting.

My only question is, Why do you continually want to screw up our beach and spend millions? A parking garage built into the dune? We just spent $5 million on the upper and lower level parking areas. It's easy to spend other people's money. We just spent $6 million on the casino. This is a beach park and the city is determined to make it into a commercial enterprise.

Commission Meeting ends in Liberal stand on Resolutions

Assault Weapon Ban and Welcoming (Sanctuary) City status are voted in for Lake Worth

The mayor was absent last night--an anniversary in her family. Perhaps that was a good thing...she didn't have to involve herself in a losing discussion that went along Democrat party lines. This is why I have stated that I will never vote for a Democrat even on a local level. They always and only represent their liberal philosophy and are always bringing their moral beliefs into everything and shoving them down our throats. Accept them or stand in the corner and shut up.

They even went against a private business, the monthly gun show at the Scottish Rite. Hardy and Robinson would like the city to take a stand against the show even operating with Hardy blaming the State of Florida for disempowering cities to actually do something about it.  Can you even imagine a government not allowing a legal business to operate in America? And Hardy even wants to sue the State of Florida and Robinson said that "Tallahassee does the bad."

Regarding the two important resolutions on the agenda, that of banning assault weapons and becoming a sanctuary city, Omari Hardy dominated the conversation. It would be really great if commissioners all had equal time to express their opinions but they never do especially since Omari Hardy was elected.

Commissioner Hardy debated and gave his position on these two important resolutions--guns and sanctuary city status. He must have been on the debate team at the University of Miami. Maybe he missed his calling and should have been a lawyer. Even scarier, he's teaching our children. Although Scott Maxwell had some objections, he was impotent and ineffectual after the Omari Hardy dominance. Hardy just kept saying it was just a discussion. No it was not. It was a full fledged assault using all the plays in the liberal playbook to make your points, Commissioner.

And to make everyone who disagrees feel better, the city attorney will put a caveat (another WHEREAS) at the end of the Resolution stating that Lake Worth is NOT a Sanctuary City. What a complete farce.

And both resolutions passed on a 4/0 vote in spite of one Republican on the dais who was essentially against. But as Scott Maxwell has said in the past, you have to pick your battles. These battles were destined for defeat by Democrat commissioners in a Democrat city. Besides, down the road, Maxwell might need his cohorts on the dais for something he wants like destroying our pool. Maxwell, no longer with fire and passion in his belly, voted for the resolutions.

David Hogg planning another school Walk-Out

David Hogg had announced a walkout over guns. A walkout that was planned for April 20th, the 19th anniversary of the shooting deaths of Columbine students.

But Columbine won't have any part of it and that's not quite what Hogg had counted on. The students at Columbine did not want to walk out of school. They have made it a day to volunteer, not to complain about guns.

They sent Hogg a letter to that effect. Hogg is telling his followers that everyone else will be still walking out.

Read about the Hogg... Hogg won't be happy until he helps destroy everything in his wake.

Cut the numbers of immigrants to our country

I say cut the numbers immigrating here back to the 1950's level. We are over-populated as it is. "In the six decades from 1950 to 2010, the U.S. population had increased from 157.8 million to 312.2 million, a total gain of 98% at an average annual rate of 1.1%." [Pew]

President Trump wants immigrants who can “contribute to our society, grow our economy and assimilate into our great nation."



City of Lake Worth to Ban assault weapons

The liberals feel empowered--As the mayor would say, this is "pontificating." It is meaningless at this point and nothing more than a wish--up the ante, make it more difficult for people to have guns and watch out 2nd Amendment.

Once again, Democrats Omari Hardy and Herman Robinson have been determined to ban assault weapons in our city or what they believe to be assault weapons but they can't tell you what exactly they want banned.  If someone wants an assault weapon, he will get one.

What is their definition of an "assault" weapon? How far will this hopeful ban go?  Will they want to ban conceal carry next?  President Trump is all for extensive background checks, raising the minimum age to 21 and the Fix NICS Act that would ensure that states and federal agencies comply with existing law on reporting criminal history records to the national background check system.

Resolution 17-2018 ban on assault weapons
SUMMARY:

The Resolution advocates for common-sense policies that keep guns out of dangerous hands while respecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners, and strongly believes that Congress and state governments should take action to close deadly gaps in the NICS.

BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION:
February 14, 2018, a mass shooting occurred at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida killing 17 students, teachers and coaches and wounding 14 others, 5 with life-threatening injuries.

Commissioners Robinson and Hardy have requested that the City take a position advocating for changes by lawmakers at the Federal and State levels to significantly improve the processes such as background checks and for designating certain devices and weapons as illegal.

Lake Worth to become a Sanctuary City by Proclamation

Tonight Lake Worth will become a Sanctuary City.

Forget about the small town charm.  We have seen our city erode through the years and its administration's secret desire to become a mini-West Palm Beach...in this case, a Welcoming City. We have been "welcoming" the illegal alien for years. It started with the Mentoring Center and allowing illegals to congregate on Lake Avenue as a morning labor pick-up area. Now it will be official--ya'll come to Lake Worth--bring us your tired and poor from all ports south. This decision will really attract investment.

I don't know why the City has to have a proclamation about this other than to slap down the Trump administration--they already have thousands of illegal aliens walking around and living here unperturbed. The PBSO does not ask suspected criminals their legal status. If you recall, the Department of Justice put West Palm Beach on a list of cities that are not in compliance with Federal Law ever since it became a "welcoming city." WPB sued the federal government telling them essentially to "stick it." And that's what Lake Worth is doing.

At the end of last year, the Department of Justice announced that sanctuary jurisdictions will lose access to certain federal law enforcement grants if they prohibit officials from communicating with ICE. These particular grants, known as the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants, are the largest source of federal criminal justice funds for state, local and tribal authorities.

Although Lake Worth has always denied it's a Sanctuary City and has for years and even fought to get it off the list, this latest proclamation will finally settle their confusion.  Do they really want to be placed on the DOJ's list of Sanctuary Cities? So, why are Commissioner Hardy and the rest of this commission making a big Left-Wing deal out of this?

We used to worry about anarchists in our little city and their stand on Arizona 1070. Now we have to worry about globalists, liberals, socialists, open border people, etc. This is a shameful proclamation, representing the illegals over American citizens and the U.S. government.

PROCLAMATION

WHEREAS, Fostering a welcoming environment for all individuals, regardless of race,
ethnicity or place of origin, enhances Lake Worth’s cultural fabric, economic growth, global competitiveness and overall prosperity for current and future generations; and

WHEREAS, Lake Worth has long been recognized as a hospitable and welcoming

WHEREAS, Community efforts that promote understanding and collaboration between our native-born and foreign-born community member regardless of legal status, are crucial in encouraging and preserving Lake Worth’s welcoming environment; and

WHEREAS, Lake Worth encourages the business leadership, civic groups, other governmental agencies and community institutions to undertake their own initiatives, beyond this resolution, to make Lake Worth not only a welcoming place for new residents from other countries but also a center of world commerce. ARE THEY NUTS? World commerce? Who in the hell writes this stuff?

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Pam Triolo, Mayor of the City of Lake Worth, Florida, by virtue of the authority vested in me, do hereby proclaim APRIL 17, 2018 AS WELCOMING CITY DAY In the City of Lake Worth, Florida and we urge all residents of Lake Worth to do their part in reaching out to and welcoming all who live in and visit our City. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Cit >of Lake Worth, Florida to be affixed this 17th day of April, 2017.

Comey gets "nuked" by Rod Rosenstein

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Nukes Comey in a newly released report.


It is apparent that Mr. Rosenstein is not a fan of former FBI Director James Comey. He is even less enamored of the book that Comey just wrote and is now promoting.

What we gather is that there are still some choice facts that are yet to be revealed about the real James Comey. What could it be that Rosenstein knows that we are not aware of yet?
