We recommend a resounding NO to ‘Solar’ Amendment 1. The feel-good name is deceptive and does not have Florida consumers’ best interests at heart. Read the Palm Beach Post editorial on its fraudulent aspects. Honorable leaders like Alex Sink say: “The language is deceptive and does not tell the real story. Amendment 1 is more about money and less about affordable solar power for Florida’s consumers.” Floridians for Solar Choice and many more are against Amendment 1.
Palm Beach Soil & Water Conservation District
You don’t hear much about the Palm Beach Soil & Water Conservation District, but it impacts our quality of life, promoting the protection of our water and natural resources. It educates farming, business and land users on best practices. Three 4-year seats are up for election. Consulting an environmental expert, we recommend:
Matthew Bymaster
Patricia Edmondson
Rob Long
The Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District
Boca Del Mar has had hopes that the Beach and Park District could help it save Mizner Trail for recreation by acquiring the course for public use. While that has not materialized, we recommend following the lead of BocaWatch, the citizens’ watchdog group focused on the city of Boca Raton, in selecting:
Dennis Frisch, Seat 1
Earl Starkoff, Seat 3
Choice of Note:
Judge Jonathan D. Gerber is among the six judges up for retaining their seats on the Fourth District Court of Appeal. We take special satisfaction in recommending voting for his retention. Judge Gerber was serving on the 15th Judicial Circuit Court when he concluded that the former Mizner Trail golf course land was to be used for no other purpose than a golf course. The 2008 decision favored Palm Beach County at the time. The county had been sued by developers who wanted to build over the course. The County Commission was defending its decision to protect the course built into Boca Del Mar’s Master Plan.LAST DAY FOR 2016 VOTE NOV 8 – NO to ‘SOLAR’ AMENDMENT 1
