Phase 1 could last just over six months. They approved contracts at a special meeting October 29th. The cost would be just over $357,000. The improvements are paid for by a grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Local officials have faced heavy criticism from residents after water bills roughly doubled. While the city administration pointed to these rate increases as necessary to fund infrastructure upgrades, residents still have expressed frustration, citing campaign promises that these systems overhauls would be covered by outside grants rather than local utility hikes. The Clueson City Commission recently honored the Clueson Little Leaguers for a successful season and a District 9 championship.

Palm Beach County Commissioner Bobby Powell, a Democrat, said he did not support naming State Road 80 across the state after President Donald Trump. They’ve been putting up signs in Palm Beach County. Did the Palm Beach County commissioners approve that or was that approved at the state legislature level? It was approved by the state legislature, not the Palm Beach County Commission. Not us. Correct. Okay. Y’all heard that at home. Not us. All right. Thank you. I’m Charles Murphy, WAFC News.
