Palm Beach Gardens voters may be confused by signs paid for by the Political Committee “Voters in Control“, on their way to the polls…. how can Vote Yes mean Keep Term Limits?
The City already has term limits passed in 2014 by over 16,000 voters, about 80% of the vote – for 2 3-year terms.
Voting YES would CHANGE term limits by adding a 3rd term.
A NO vote KEEPS term limits the way the voters passed them!!!!!
So who is Voters in Control?
A look at the FEC campaign treasurer reports listed on the City’s website shows that the Treasurer is Kim Lee Bove. Interestingly enough Kim Lee Bove is Director of Operations at Cornerstone Solutions, LLC – which is the same company that the City hired to ‘market’ the proposed charter changes.
One can review the listed donors in the March and April 2018 reports – the fairly short list includes mostly developers with business before the city. Why would they want council people to serve longer or not have term limits at all? We can think of lots of reasons…..
Who benefits by misleading the voter? You decide.
There is nothing wrong with donating to a PAC or having one – but their signage is highly misleading and we think that the voters should know.
