Corruption comes in various ways

Read this shocking article.

We have so many problems with elected officials. I am at the point where I do not trust many of them. When money is involved, the worst of stories appear and this is just one of thousands. A vast majority of them are about development and business. That is no surprise because that is where the money is.

Addie Greene stepped down as a Palm Beach County Commissioner. Good thing. However, we still have County Commissioners who vote on land-use changes for development that residents do not want. We have them voting on businesses in our community that have been a menace and we have seen one business here in Lantana get directly involved in our Lake Worth election by giving thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to Lisa Maxwell and to Ms. Materio's PAC, Businesses Aligned for Change.

The only change that we want is honest politicians representing our best interests, not theirs.
