Keep Lake Worth’s public spaces green
Hudson Holdings is like Greater Bay, a company that also tried, through “local government,” to take Lake Worth’s public beach property but failed — due to the citizens of the city standing up and saying “no.”
When will shortsighted politicians realize that government is not a business enterprise? And that public green space is a source of wealth for the city and should not be sold for the profit of a few?
Lake Worth has what many other cities in South Florida had: open green space on the Intracoastal Waterway and a beautiful beach for all to enjoy. We should be expanding green space, not selling it off.
So once again, people of Lake Worth, let’s send the message to our politicians: “Hands off our beach” and “no” to private development of our public spaces.

LAKE WORTH
Note: When Mr. Thompson refers to "selling" he is actually referring to handing over control of our casino/complex property up to a possible 99 years on a lease with options. That is the same thing as "selling." Also, the only reasons that Greater Bay failed to gain control of our beach besides public protest, was the McCauley/McNamara lawsuit and a change in the commission. It is disgusting that the people of this city have to watch its government this closely in order to save our assets.
