Last evening, 2/25, PBGWatch co-sponsored a council candidate forum along with PBG Resident’s Coalition, PBC Tea Party, South Florida 912, and the Republican Club of the Northern Palm Beaches.
Although 22 year councilman and current Vice-Mayor Eric Jablin was invited and initally indicated his participation, he would not return our calls for confirmation and ulitmately decided not to attend. Despite the empty chair, his opponent Michael Peragine, was able to contrast his views with Mr. Jablin’s and should give you an idea of where they stand.
Thank you to Councilwoman Marcie Tinsley and candidates Robin Deaton and Michael Peragine for participating and for giving us their in-depth view on the issues that are important to the city in the coming years.
The event was well-attended with all seats taken and the library’s large room filled to capacity with standing room only. See Council’s procedures come under fire at forum for the Palm Beach Post article on the event.
In the coming days we will publish the questions that were asked and a synopsis of the answers. In the meantime, please enjoy the video of the event prepared by Steve Tarr.
