PBC Circuit Court Dismisses Lawsuit

Palm Beach County Circuit Court Judge Cymonie Rowe agreed with the Town and dismissed the Goldmacher lawsuit which challenged the undergrounding referendum ballot language.

In her judgment, the Honorable Rowe found that the ballot language for the undergrounding bond referendum was valid and the Town is permitted to issue bonds as approved to fund the project. The judge in this case stated:

“Defendant’s (Town of Palm Beach) Motion is GRANTED as to all Counts of Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint, with findings that the ballot language is neither misleading nor inconsistent, that there is no violation of Ordinance 90.141, that the bond referendum is neither illegal nor void, that the ballot measure is neither illegal nor void, and that the Town is permitted to issue bonds as approved pursuant to the ballot referendum.”
