WPTV on County Commission Meeting (click this link to see video) by Gabrielle Sarann who was there for hours yesterday.
Commissioner Scott Maxwell from Lake Worth led the charge for ruining a county park. Backed by special interests--union contractors, downtown merchants, Benny's on the Beach's Lee Lipton, Dave from Dave's Last Resort and even Callaros owner, Beth Scragg. Callaros is where all the Lake Worth upper management have lunch. It's been suggested that the city runs a tab. Dolores Key was on the job sent by the city to accompany Scott Maxwell. She is the Economic Development Director for Lake Worth.
Lake Worth likes to tell you that this is a Palm Beach County decision but the city manager, Michael Bornstein and staff along with the city commission have been lobbying and working hard to achieve this end even dinner meetings at City Place.
Not once has she been contacted by her District Commissioner, Scott Maxwell, regarding her neighborhood and the affects that a national Spring training baseball facility would impose--not only on those living there but all the quality of life in general for all living creatures.
Last night, the entire Trio that supports developers and businesses over people in single family residences, passed a resolution in support of the Atlanta Braves coming to John Prince Park with dreams (fantasies) of riches for Lake Worth. All three gave excuses as to why they haven't contacted ROLO--No one invited them, they said.
