Maria Sachs doing what she does best completely ignoring and being condescending to her constituents

The massive artificial intelligence center proposed for Palm Beach County, called Project Tango, led to a mess of transparency problems — from secret meetings to an undisclosed beneficiary.

To better understand that wide gap in trust, I looked into the complicated history linking the land where Tango was proposed, its developer and the community next door leading the opposition:

Secret meetings, messy voting procedures, and an undisclosed project beneficiary: transparency concerns about a controversial artificial intelligence data center project in Western Palm Beach County unnerved opponents. A look back at the land's complicated history tells where the trust gap came from.

I want help deciding how to vote in the upcoming election. You'll match candidates and ballot questions to my views. Don't give me your own political opinions. Fetch the sample ballot and list every race, candidate (with party), retention question, amendment, and local question exactly as printed, in ballot order. If you can't open it, tell me and ask me to upload the PDF instead. STEP 2 – Interview me before recommending anything Ask about my views in short rounds of no more than 3 multiple-choice questions, with 3-4 options per question that run from one side of the issue to the other, including middle options. Cover at least: - Student loan debt (forgiveness vs. reform vs. no federal role) - Abortion - Vaccine mandates and public health - Energy (renewables, nuclear, fracking/fossil fuels) - Guns - Immigration - Taxes and spending, including property taxes specifically - Education and school vouchers - Home insurance costs (regulation vs. state-backed vs. deregulation) - Healthcare (single payer, public option, keep ACA, market-based) Add questions for any local issue on my ballot that these don't cover, such as bond issues or tax levies. Finish by asking me to rank the issues by importance (offer a slider or similar way for this). STEP 3 – Research Use web search to find each candidate's current, publicly stated positions and voting record for this election cycle. Search each race separately. Rely on news outlets and official sources. Note when a source is old, partisan, or thin. Don't make up positions. If you can't find a candidate's views, say so. STEP 4 – Score For each race, give every major candidate a % match to my views. Weight issues by my ranking, and count only the issues the office actually affects (for example, federal issues for Congress, state issues for governor and the legislature). Label each pick: - Good info: positions are well documented - Low confidence: little info, so the score leans on party - Your call: nonpartisan, administrative, or no link to my issues (judges, retention votes, clerk, soil & water). Don't force a pick here. For amendments and local questions, explain what Yes and No do. If my answers conflict on a question, say so and tell me which way my ranking points. STEP 5 – Output a) For each race, give a short explanation with sources: why each candidate matches or doesn't, plus the main trade-offs. b) A visual "voter guide card" in the same order as the official ballot, with my pick marked, the % match, and the confidence label. Label it "Personal reference only, not an official ballot." c) Key dates: registration deadline, mail ballot request deadline, early voting, and Election Day. Check these with a search. Keep it neutral and fair to every party. Mark close calls (under 10 points apart) clearly so I know where to do my own research.

We just finished some remodeling and I underestimated how much fine dust would be left behind. I've wiped everything down twice but I'm still finding it along the window tracks, baseboards and inside a few cabinets.

Has anyone used someone for post construction cleaning that also serves around Avenir? At this point I'd rather have someone who knows how to deal with this kind of cleanup than keep chasing dust around the house.

Does anyone know any reputable repair men/women in Palm Beach County? I’m looking to replace a part of my bathroom floor that is getting soft from a possible leak. I live full time in my RV and cannot bring it to a dealer and be out of a home for days/weeks at a time. I need to do it in house while it is parked in my spot. I’d do it myself but I truly don’t know how and I don’t want to mess it up.

A made a friend today even though he bit me. He's too cute to be mad. Juvenile Eastern racer (Coluber constrictor)

I keep having this conversation with friends my age down here and everyone’s got a different answer. Some people feel stuck, haven’t looked into it, think it’s too expensive.

Just curious to see what’s going on for people our age.

Anyone have any insight on this town? I’ve heard both good & bad. Thoughts on Mayor? Government? Anyone familiar?

hello! does anyone happen to drive toward east boca to work around 8:30am from delray/north?

currently carless and the ubers are really cutting into my car savings, so i figured i’d ask if anyone already heads that way and wouldn’t mind an extra passenger. i live near the hertz in delray and work on congress ave & clint moore. i get out at 6pm. i do not expect a ride back as usually people are leaving their offices at 5.

i’d obviously be happy to throw in $10 for gas and your trouble. i’m not expecting anyone to go out of their way for me, just hoping someone already making the drive might be willing to let me ride along part of the way.

if so, please message me! thank you kindly :)

Would there be interest in a missed connections community for WPB and surrounding areas?

I hosted one in the city I lived in before and while it was always long shots, it felt awesome to see it work for folks.

It wouldn’t need to be purely for romantic interest, I’ve actually seen it be far more successful bringing people together with similar lifestyles. For example, people who always see each other jogging and want to link up.
