In his recent guest column, Mayor Jack Van Sickle stated that he is proud of his accomplishments over his past four years in office. Let’s examine these so called ‘successes’ Jack Van Sickle has ‘done’ for the City of Lake Wales.

If you attended any of the Commissioner meetings, you would have witnessed firsthand just how “ … a person’s actions speak louder than words … ”
Mr Van Sickle is very hostile and dismissive towards anyone who shares a different point of view than his. You’d hear him state that he wants to ‘filter’ the audience’s questions and comments to only those who are in favor of his point of view. Van Sickle has been seen with arms crossed and ignoring those who speak in opposition and then moving quickly to vote on issues without allowing time to consider other points of view.
Over the past four years that Jack Van Sickle has served on the Commission, what exactly has he really done for the city?

Van Sickle has done nothing to address the failing infrastructure that includes the City’s sewer system that constantly fails and overflows into the streets and resident’s homes.

Van Sickle has introduced Amendments 9 through 14 which basically eliminates the Commissioner System Lake Wales currently has into a formal Mayoral structure, thereby giving one person total control over governance of the City of Lake Wales. This is not in the best interest of the City or what the City of Lake Wales needs.
Jack Van Sickle, a supporter of John Paul Rogers a known Grand Dragon in the United Klans of America which was the most violent and largest Klan organization of its time.
Van Sickle has equated John Paul Rogers’s affiliation with the Klan to that of someone having had several speeding tickets in ones past.
So please, follow Jack Van Sickle suggestion and vote for those who will make decisions based on what is best for all in Lake Wales. Isn’t it time to oust the Good Ol Boy method of governance and replace it with people who have the credentials worthy of leading the city?

Vote for Betty Wojcik for Commissioner and Mike Carter for Mayor.
