  Firefighter bosses endorsement decided behind closed doors?

Firefighter union bosses endorse...

...but they don't interview candidates!

Friday September 4th, 2009 - LWM will be investigating the fireman's union bosses' decision to endorse a Lake Worth mayoral candidate without interviewing any other candidates.

As we all know, when disaster strikes these are the front line of life saving angels that we owe so much to. But these good people have no idea what their bosses decide behind closed doors and perhaps its time they knew and hopefully they might want to take better control of what their bosses are doing. LWM asked this firefighter if she knew about the endorsement... she had no idea... but thought it didn't sound fair. That is an understatement.

I heard the wife of a former Commissioner and Police Retirement Board used her clout to get an endorsement for Varela, having them bypass all the other candidates. If true, it shows that some will go to extreme ends to win and are usually the first to cry "foul."
