Wellington, FL – March 15, 2012 – They came. They voted. And Wellington residents soundly voiced their opposition against the Equestrian Village Development in the Wellington Preserve. By ousting the Wellington Mayor, the record number of voters came to ballot boxes to show their displeasure in Wellington’s leadership.
“Tuesday’s vote was a clear indication that Wellington residents were tired of their elected officials’ lack of interest in preserving what makes Wellington unique,” said Wellington Equestrian Preservation Alliance Executive Director Mat Forrest.
