Boca and Delray Election Results & Ruminations
Shelly Petrolia was on Tuesday’s ballot.
She won. Barely.
He won. Big.
Petrolia and Singer, the mayors of Delray Beach and Boca Raton involved themselves in this year’s elections to an unusually high degree for these cities. Each was seeking to create a like-minded voting bloc.
Petrolia began her effort last year. She helped to defeat a well-financed, well-known incumbent, Bill Bathurst, and replace him with Juli Casale. In the last year, Casale has been a Petrolia loyalist on everything from firing the city manager to ignoring science on sea grape trimming.
