prior to his August 30th primary election Ron Bowen talks about paying down Port St Lucie’s debt
Everyone knows the old joke, “How can you tell when a politician is lying to you?” Answer: “His lips are moving.” Well, the WPSL/League of Woman Voters candidate forum always seems to have a never-ending supply of moving lips.

Two School Board seats up for grabs on August 30th.
The time for action has come.
The opportunity to do something great for our schools and our children’s education is right in front of us. Let us not allow this one to slip through our fingers.
