We, the voters of Palm Beach County, Florida, believing that governmental decisions affecting local interests should be made locally rather than by the state and, in order to bring to our country the full home rule benefits of more responsive and efficient county government and improved cooperation between the municipalities and the county, do ordain and establish this Home Rule Charter for Palm Beach County, Florida.
