Defeated Boca Raton mayoral candidate Al Zucaro intends to step away from politics and from the BocaWatch blog he founded seven years ago.
Shortly after he conceded the race to Scott Singer on Aug. 28, Zucaro told The Coastal Star that he does not anticipate another run for election. He also said he will look for someone to take over the blog, which has been critical of the Boca Raton City Council and what he and his supporters see as over-development in the downtown.
“It no longer needs a warrior,” he said of BocaWatch. “It needs a reconciler.”
On Sept. 5 he posted on the blog that BocaWatch will be on sabbatical “for a short while.”
“But look for its return with a new team; a team who will move Boca to an even higher level!” he wrote.
The blog achieved its purpose by alerting residents to the need to control development and to encourage them to take a more active role in city affairs, he said on election night. His allies include new council members Andrea O’Rourke and Monica Mayotte.
“I have done what I set out to do by creating BocaWatch,” Zucaro said.
