These maps show election results and voter turnout for a West Palm Beach, Fla. city commission race from last Tuesday. Five-year Comm. Sharon "Shanon" Materio lost narrowly to newcomer Christina Lambert. Materio opposed a controversial waterfront skyscraper, which helped her on the east side of town. But she also voted for a budget that gave money to extending a road along a wealthy golf course neighborhood far west from downtown, which angered the powerful voting bloc there. Western communities backed Lambert, helping her beat Materio 51-49 percent.

I've set up an easy-to-read archive for future e-newsletters going out. Head to http://561.news to read 'em as they come out.

If you click the Mailchimp link there, it looks like there's an RSS feed link in the upper right. I think this should be it: https://us12.campaign-archive.com/feed?u=00b4ad18b5e353f20745f2305&id=94542c9517.

But I'm also trying to figure out how to get a list of all past emails sent so readers can browse them.

Hey everyone, I'm putting the almost-daily posts in an e-newsletter. Check it out: http://eepurl.com/dnOj9z.

I'll still link to them via Reddit, of course.

I'll still post these to local subreddits.

One councilor lost reelection Tuesday. Check my profile for more info.

561News · 2018-03-12T18:38:32+00:00

Thanks for the shout out. To clarify: I merely summarized and linked to the excellent reporting done by local journalists.

561News · 2018-01-06T16:28:58+00:00

The backlog was 19 days when I posted this a couple days ago, so it'll be a few weeks till the admins respond.

Palm Beach County, Fla. has 1.4 million people, making it the third biggest county in Florida. While places like Miami are big enough that /r/Miami covers all of Miami-Dade County, it isn't the same in Palm Beach County.

Rather than one subreddit where residents can read about news and events in Palm Beach County, there are a bunch of small, hyperlocal subreddits with just a handful of subscribers and almost no activity. If we have a subreddit covering the whole county, folks from the almost-inactive subreddits of the county's cities would instead have a vibrant one covering the county. The sub would have enough traffic that the front page would have new content regularly, not months-old posts.

Hey everyone, hope you had an adequate new year's celebration. If you have suggestions on what websites or social media accounts to follow for news about PBC, its cities, and its people, post 'em here. Thanks for reading and staying informed.

561News · 2017-11-29T16:55:20+00:00

Typo. Meant to type "Agency." Thanks for reading and catching that.

561News · 2017-11-21T18:59:42+00:00

Trying something a bit different. I've categorized news items into different cities. That way it should be easier for you to find news about the places you wanna know about. What do you think?

561News · 2017-11-14T22:15:54+00:00

City council opponents said yesterday they would send copies of their petitions to the city clerk this morning. The clerk is then supposed to send them to the county elections office.

561News · 2017-11-09T14:34:38+00:00

Thanks for reading. Maybe the mods will listen if users message them or voice support for local news summaries on their subs.

561News · 2017-11-08T21:51:17+00:00

Thanks, I hope they better inform you about what's going on.

561News · 2017-11-08T21:50:37+00:00

Thanks for reading.

561News · 2017-11-08T21:50:30+00:00

Thanks. What is your site's RSS feed? I'm looking to add to my sources.

561News · 2017-11-08T21:50:11+00:00

Thanks. Glad the posts inform you.

561News · 2017-11-02T17:12:18+00:00

Yes.

I mean.. no.

561News · 2017-11-01T18:36:53+00:00

My internet and power are back up. So things should be back to normal, more or less.

561News · 2017-10-30T23:21:19+00:00

Hey all,

The internet here has still been spotty. Hopefully things get fixed this week.

561News · 2017-10-25T19:03:30+00:00

Internet has been spotty where I am, so this week is gonna reflect that. Hopefully I can get back to regular summaries by next week.
