Announcing WPB Gov Watch on September 16, 2013
“WPB GOV WATCH is a group of concerned citizens, for the City of West Palm Beach, FL, who have united to expose government waste, fraud and abuse and to recruit, promote and support responsible and effective candidates for Elected City Offices, who will be committed to work in the best interests of the Public at Large.”
“In a Democracy, the people get the government they deserve” So said Alexis de Tocqueville, or Thomas Jefferson, or Ayn Rand – it has been contributed to all of them. Democracy is also hard work and best not left to politicians. And the best government is one that is constantly watched. And it doesn’t take a lot of people to make a difference. In fact, Margaret Mead said ““Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever does.” That is our motto. We hope to change the City of West Palm Beach. We hope that you will join us in this effort.
For 10 years I have published stories on the happenings of our elected officials of WPB. For 10 years I have tried to shine a light on what was happening behind the scenes. I have said many times the hell with this, I’m banging my head against a wall for nothing. I do not have the knowledge or the ability to bring people together. Now I know why I stuck with it. Rodney Mayo has the ability to do both, and he’s not giving up.
I have 101% confidence in Mr. Mayo and his ability to move our city forward, and I do mean our city, not the city of politicians, judge’s, special interest groups and political consultants. WPB is our city and Rodney Mayo is working to return the city to us—the residents of WPB.
As much confidence as I have in him, I realize he can’t do it without you and me, he has to have our support.
Posted by Sandy on January 15, 2023 “James record as Mayor 2019”
That story was to be the first of 4 published stories, and three more were to have followed. James record as mayor in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
I wrote and published the stories and can’t believe how much I had forgotten because every year after 2019 Mayor Keith James leadership has deteriorated to the point I don’t recognize my city.
When the court made the decision Mayo was not qualified to run I saw no reason to publish the remaining stories. I was wrong. The stories will be published on Monday for the next three weeks to remind us and hopefully get angry enough to join the fight.
Below you will find Rodney’s latest post. what his plans for the city are and most important what you can do to help him. Please take the time to read it. There is something all of us can do. He’s not asking people for money in fact he will return the $100.00 you donated to his campaign. he’s asking for something more valuable than our money. He is asking for our signature on a “Recall Mayor Keith James” petition. He has mine.

Below is the link for Rodney’s latest message with upcoming meetings, where our help is needed and information I never had before. I was amazed to find what political consultants represented elected officials in Florida.
The end? No, more to come
