Its Mayor was suspended by our Govenor until he can show via our court of laws that the alleged charges against him are incorrect. Here is the executive order: http://www.palmbeachpost.com/multimedia/archive/01311/Gov__Scott_s_execu_1311150a.pdf This weekend Boynton Beach got noticed again, however, not in the way it would like to be noticed.

Those who didn't vote cannot complain about the results. Right now, in other countries, they are giving up their lives to attain what we take for granted.

The show of picketer's and the citizen turn out at the Feb 1 Commission meeting for and regarding Ralph & Rosie's Restaurant $638,000.00 lien and looming foreclosure on their business complete with an impartial speaker that power pointed the "mistake" of citing and fining, when no ordinance was on the public books, seemed to get someone's attention. The Mayor made a personal visit to the owners before noon the very next day. Then an offer was made in writing by the city attorney to pay a $60,000.00 legal "services" bill and it would go away.Paid attorney's again were used to negotiate this new proposed contract. Strange turn of events when before this was told to the public, they would not budge on anything involving that Chickee hut. Thousand's in attorney fee's on both sides. I too will wait from afar for all of the pieces to be put together. From what I have read and heard in recorded document's and audio records, I fear it will be found to be corruption ,greed, cover up and ultimately "stupidity". I want very much for the people of Boynton Beach to enjoy the things they have worked hard to have. I know that there is enlightened government somewhere in there . GM Victoria,

You sound like decent folks. A bit angry at the way some things turned out. I know that it sometimes seems like it is "corruption and greed" and if it is, in the end it will be found out. The online world makes it so much easier for concerned citizens to do research. Look at how much transparency and disclosure is required. Right now I'll just look at it as stupidity....which, by the way, seems to be lessening in Boynton Beach. As you can see, I am ever hopeful. Hello “gettin out of Dodge”

I am sorry to see you go. You sound like decent folks. A bit angry at the way some things turned out.

I know that it sometimes seems like it is “corruption and greed” and if it is, in the end it will be found out. The online world makes it so much easier for concerned citizens to do research. Look at how much transparency and disclosure is required.

Right now I’ll just look at it as stupidity….which, by the way, seems to be lessening in Boynton Beach. As you can see, I am ever hopeful.

Now I think I have made a grave mistake in purchasing here. The Commission of Boynton Beach act like they are children. For instance the "Tiki" Hut thing. Since 2007 !!!? It sounds like corruption and greed. How much has the city spent in Lawyer fees and does this public know there is an Ex Post Facto issue here. How can you fine for a law they haven't written and couldn't find because it didn't exist? The "Warning" sign on Federal absolutly kept my two (Mike and James)from opening their new business here. Delray won out. Too bad we have money. I am going to sell at a loss and join them.. Good luck on your blog it is always refreshing to see honesty in action. signed, gettin out of Dodge I am new to this Boynton Beach. Now I think I have made a grave mistake in purchasing here.
