Gulfstream Hotel Project

Commissioner Christopher McVoy has been asking significant questions regarding costs that will be borne by the City of Lake Worth regarding the Gulfstream Hotel and our local paper ridicules him for doing his job.

The City's & CRA's projected costs:

In addition, the City and County property tax increment will be rebated for the new construction portion of the project from 2025 through 2031 (after which the CRA sunsets) – a value of nearly $3.95 million.

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.

Commissioner Ryan Maier

Comment Up

Talking about the hostility shown towards him as a commissioner in the minority, not just politically, but on a personal and business level. "If you have an opinion; have it, love it, support it and if you have a different opinion, support different opinions," said Commissioner Maier.  He assured the folks that in spite of the attacks, he's not going anywhere.

Mark Easton wondered if Maier was leaving the dais early? He didn't listen to what Commissioner Maier said and that is a big part of the problem that we experience on a daily basis in this city.  The majority just wants to listen to itself.  Commissioner Maier was being his normal, caring and classy self. Time for that bird and the Trio to take a lesson or two.
