Palm Beach County Voters Elect Development Advocates
10 March 2005 - 12:00pm

"[Voters] lamented traffic gridlock, environmental ruin and the relentless march of development. But when it came time to pick mayors and city council members, voters Tuesday nearly uniformly chose well-funded, pro-growth candidates, often by overwhelming margins."
