I was pleased to learn that Fred Pinto will be running for mayor of Royal Palm Beach in the June 26 issue of the Town-Crier.
There is no doubt in my mind that Fred Pinto will make an excellent mayor. He has served the Village of Royal Palm Beach very well for more than a decade both as councilman and as vice mayor.
His hard work and dedication cannot be questioned. This hard work and dedication has helped to make the Village of Royal Palm Beach the envy of most municipalities. Royal Palm’s achievements are too numerous to mention, from the building of Commons Park, bringing Aldi to our area, thus creating jobs, supporting the Office of the Inspector General and the extension of State Road 7, the sale of the village’s old wastewater treatment plant for $35 million, reducing or keeping the property tax rate the same for the past 20 years, making the streets safer and a decline in crime rate. It is little wonder that Royal Palm Beach was ranked in the top 10 Florida communities in which to raise a family.
Pinto works well with the current mayor and his fellow councilmen for the good of the community. He has been re-elected unopposed in the past, and I, for one, would be surprised to see any challengers. Let’s all get behind Fred and give him our full support, not only for the good of Royal Palm Beach, but for the entire western communities. When Mayor Matty Mattioli retires, the Village of Royal Palm Beach should be led by Fred.

Pinto is not a good councilman and good things have happened despite him. He cannot be trusted and yes there are some troubling aspects about him. He is not the dependable, stable elected official we need.
Poor Alma if only you knew the truth about Mr. Pinto – your hair would raise, your toes would curl.
