Pelican Pete on our Lake Worth Commission

I went online Thursday night expecting to see the May 5th Commission meeting. It was not to be. Apparently it was moved back to May 3rd announced at the Utility meeting on April 26th. I have to admit, I seldom watch the Utility Meetings. At that same meeting, the May 17th Regular Commission meeting was moved to May 19th. For some reason, I missed the notice of this from the city! If there ever was a notice.

The city has definitely changed and less transparent than ever. No one seems to know what's going on within the City. NOone answers a phone. You can't find anything on the web site. Everything seems to be outsourced. The Utility bill is now ridiculous and getting a beach permit (they call it a permit now as no decals are given) was a challenge.

Now the Commission had a presentation on May 3 regarding redistricting as the uninformed voters of Lake Worth voted in district by District voting. Certainly hope, if they consider population, that they will narrow it down to U.S. citizens in districts 1 & 2.


At any rate, the Lake Worth Herald came out with a biting piece by Pelican Pete. I guess the Pelican is keeping up with what's going on.

I ran into someone last night who said she always checks the calendar. I have never done that because as soon as I get a notice from the Clerk's office sending me the agenda, I have had no reason to check further. I will check from now on.

If nobody votes, what can you expect.

I got a call from a gentleman from out of state today and he was asking about the new service charges on our utility bills. He owns an apartment that he rents out in Murry Hills and his tenants contacted him. He asked me what it was all about. I HAVE NO IDEA. No one can give me an answer.
