County Commissioner Gregg Weiss Voted to Help Tax Payers
Gregg Weiss
The economy went from one of its strongest periods in our history to being shut down and re-opening with almost double-digit inflation. These events had a significant impact on our economy, hurting those in our community that can least afford rising prices. Gregg Weiss took action to help reduce the burden on Palm Beach County residents.
"During these difficult economic times, I took action to help working families. I used my business experience to cut taxes while maintaining county services. In addition, I voted to raise the minimum pay for county workers and contractors to a minimum of $15 an hour," said Gregg Weiss.
Gregg used his fiscal skills to keep government costs low and reduce taxes to help our residents for the first time in 15 years. He also supported plans to add hundreds of units of workforce housing so that first responders, teachers, and service employees could afford to live in Palm Beach County.
Gregg Weiss is leading the way in helping modernize our economy. To learn more about Gregg's record and background, visit www.votegreggweiss.com/.
Gregg and his wife of 31 years, Rebecca, retired in their 40s and decided to sail the world on their 50-foot boat named Kimba. After doing so for several years, they anchored in the Lake Worth Lagoon in 2004 and decided to make West Palm Beach their new home. Gregg Weiss was born and raised in Southern California. After graduating from the University of California at Irvine with degrees in Economics and Social Ecology, he made a career in the then-emerging computer industry. Gregg worked to become a business executive overseeing sales, marketing, and strategy for several Fortune 500 companies.
Ever since Gregg has been active in the community as a volunteer and board member, he was the West Palm Beach Police Foundation president and a founding member of Speak Up for Kids.
