Citizens Come First supports the current zoning at Lake Worth Beach, Public Recreation and Open Space. It is our desire that the casino, originally constructed in 1922, be restored. There is a special workshop meeting on January 27, 2009 at 5:30 at City Hall to discuss the options.
Letter to the City Commission from Chairman McNamara:
I have been closely involved with beach redevelopment since 2001 and in touch with the citizen’s desires from that time forward. I have spoken to large numbers of citizens during many petition drives. In 2002, there was significant sentiment against commercialization of the beach and that has increased as years have passed.

PAC History - Campaign #1
Citizens Come First, Political Action Committee, was formed in Palm Beach County on
December 26, 2007.
Our first campaign was for the defeat of three ballot issues voted on by 3 out of the 5 City Commissioners in Lake Worth and placed on the January 29, 2008 ballot:
1. Three year Commission terms:......NO (68%) YES (32%)
2. Eliminate run-off elections:......... NO (67%) YES (33%)
3. Residency requirement for
Police & Fire Chiefs:..............NO (49.76%) YES (50.24%)
Because of the confusing ballot language of Item 3 (we wanted our chiefs to reside in the City by Charter), it lost by 21 votes.
