Lake Worth Workshop on General Obligation Bond

Comment Up

What's it going to cost you? What is the plan? Maybe we'll find out. And maybe we won't. Just hope it's not a Nancy Pelosi philosophy: “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it....”

Read the PBPost article indicating that the reporter, Kevin D. Thompson, can't get any information. There is no back-up. Is this transparency?

This visionary commission wants it all to be a surprise. If Thompson can't get the info being the shill that he is for city hall, then no one can get it until maxwell is ready to give it out.

I used to love this game called "mystery Date " when I was a kid.
Having to vote for a "Mystery Bond" ? No way.
No Info No Bond

What info do you idiots need? You don't know anything about paving, a $40 million project is so far out of the realm of your comprehension it's not even funny and none of you understand how to run anything, let alone a city. So vote no. The write letters to the post to complain about the potholes. All because scotty won't sit down and explain every detail to you. Even though you are incapable of understanding any of it. Vote no for the right to vote no.

This is all within your "realm' of understanding? Scott's? LOL the city needs to give all of the details, not just a few. And Scott certainly is not capable of understanding road resurfacing, infrastructure or bond financing. If anyone was capable, perhaps they would tell the public, the ones who will be paying for it all.

It must be hell to be a cheerleader and an insufferable idiot, your word.
