Bett Willett. Part of the anti-fire mob.

You get the chance to watch the Commission meeting tonight?    Anybody see the arrival of the Four Horsemen?  Yeah, I missed them myself.

It seems that the SOB'ers are off their rocker once again.  Let me say this to them.

Bett?  Have you always been this much against development?  I think, if you were alive during the caveman days, you'd have been against the arrival of fire.

For the rest of us, it goes like this.

The new Commission has a fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayer and they would have been lax in their duty to *not* check out the money being spent over at the Cove.

Oh, and by the way, it's not from ad valorum.  It's money from the CRA.

Enroute home. Done with Orlando.

2006 National Fire Incident Reporting System Incidents

The number of Deerfield Beach are as follows:

Fire: 3
Hazardous Condition: 17

Deerfield Beach's premier destination for rumor, innuendo, and half baked ideas.

I had it right.  I always have it right.

About a month ago, Asshat Tauber attempted his best effort at ridiculing me over my supposed lame lawyering skills.

See dipshit... You are once again dead wrong.

I freely admit to having ZERO legal skills, but rather depend on a crack team of experts.  As I have said before, that's why I am in management and you're back with the rats in your kitchen wearing the white paper hat.

Case in point.  A few days ago, my legal team indicated that Broward County does things differently.  While they might indicate that a case is set for trial, it's usually a status update (calendar call).

My (on) crack legal team said "Hey Chaz.  You suck.  Also, Gonot is headed to a calendar call.  His trial date is still aways away."

So forget the rest. No need for wasting your valuable time.  You can rely on Acts of Sedition.  We're  Deerfield Beach's premier destination for rumor, innuendo, and half baked ideas.

Poitier is the most obvious racist I've ever witnessed.

I have two words for my recent emailer.

Linda Bauman.

That entire situation still sticks in my craw.  The hair on the back of my neck stands straight up as I remember Sylvia "Consultant For Hire" Poitier's suggestion on how Les was to pay for his wife's care.  It went something like this.

Stop paying your house payment.  Get kicked out on the streets.  And then become a ward of the State.

So, it seems, somewhere in the underpinnings of our local government, someone has some cold stones to suggest making these types of decisions.

Why then do we allow Vince Kendrick to walk around in a mask, acting all bubble boy'ish, a part-time worker collecting a serious paycheck?

It wouldn't be because Kendrick is a black feller and Linda was a milk-toast'ish, blonde hair white woman now would it?

Sidebar:
No, I am not a racist.  I am a card carrying member of the NAACP.  But, I am not cowed into submission to bring someone's skin color into the equation when it seems to make sense.  I am not, if you will, the caucasian version of Deerfield's Angry Black Man.

Someone emailed me yesterday, a name familiar to everyone, who indicated,

Poitier is the most obvious racist I've ever witnessed.

Is it that simple?  Is that why Hutt-Porteer hasn't gone after Kendrick with the same venom, the same cold uncaring attitude she displayed for Linda?

It's cause of skin color?

Poll: Paying Vince Kendrick $150K for part time work seems reasonable?

Why has AOS declared War on the Jones kid?

From an email into AOS this morning regarding Mr. James Jones, I was informed:

1)  It's the City of Deerfield Beach's position that Mr. James Jones met the job qualifications for the MOST program. 

2)  It is the position of folks around town that Mr. Jones was not even remotely close to meeting the MOST program education and experience requirements. 

3)  In order to receive support from the MOST program, Deerfield Beach must comply with the  program requirement

4)  When pressed about Jones' qualification, the City of Deerfield Beach did not cooperate with requests for proof of such qualifications

5)  Contrary to the requirements of the MOST program, Mr. Jones was employed by our City prior to receiving full pre-employment clearance.

6)  Mr. Jones' personnel file, when reviewed last summer, was nearly empty with the exception of his employment application which showed he did not finish college or have the experience required by the MOST grant program.

So, you are probably asking yourself, why the big deal Chaz?  Why has AOS declared War on the Jones kid?  He's likely some poor slub trying to make a living.

And, if that is your belief in this matter, then you got it all bass ackwards.

Allow me to clarify.

As Deerfield's reigning change agent, I was part of the process that forced the removal of both Capellini and Gonot.  And, hopefully, with my complaint to the SAO and FDLE regarding Poitier's actions, I'll go 3 for 3.

So, that means, we have a mostly new Commission.  Yeah, I get that Marty is still there, but have you seen him lately?  He's an odds on favorite to be pushing daisies before Labor Day.

We have a new dais.  We don't have Larry Deetjen.  Regardless of what our City Manager might think or say, this is now his City.  The honeymoon is over.  For good or bad, sickness or in health. 

Did I mention that Marva's gone.

You've heard me rail about it before.  Not only did we have to remove the Commissioner and Mayor, we need to get a clean sweep on upper management.

Therefore, I am going to do something I *very very* rarely do and that is address this to a particular someone.

Hey Mike Mahaney, do us all a favor.  Fire the fuckers.  $150K for part time work?  Management by those with GED's?  Come on dood.  Make your mark.  Put us on the map.  Step to the plate and knock it out the park.

The time is now and the time is yours.  Don't do what normally happens in town.  And by that I mean, fuck it up.

Nothing like a Sub

My early Xmas present.

Background check? No need, cause Steve carried the rock.

I've come to be reminded of an ex-employee of the City.  A gent fellow convicted rapist who goes by the name of Steve Feagin.  This miscreant, currently locked up in some hole, was hired by Vince Kendrick and eventually promoted to Special Events Coordinator.

Steve, you see, had the most perfect background in the world according to Vince.  Steve was a footballer.

Background check?  Not from what I heard.  But, no need, cause Steve carried the rock.

Fast forward a bit to James Jones.  And before you get all libel on me, I am not, under any circumstance, inferring that Mr. Jones isn't anything but on the top up and up.

Rather, I'd like to point out something else.

If my facts are straight, the background check on Mr. Jones was performed *after* he was hired.  Which, according to my MOST grant experts, is in violation of the grant.

Mr. Jones, as you know, has the most perfect of backgrounds according to Garp Vince.  Mr. Jones, like Steve, once carried the rock.

You would have thought, that given the past history of hiring what turns out to be the scumbag of the earth, the department in charge of interaction with the little ones would have a better hiring practice then:

Vince:  Hey, ever play football?
Interviewee:  Um.  I've played it on the XBox.
Vince:  At what level?
Interviewee:  Intermediate.
Vince:  YOU'RE HIRED!

Again, I want to point out that I am not inferring anything untoward about Jones.  Rather, I would like to shed some light on the rather peculiar and quite unprofessional hiring practices of Vince.

Simply fucking amazing.

Simply fucking amazing.

How many folks remember those commercials where you could learn a degree with little to no effort.

< queue bold male voice over >
You!  Yes you too can learn gun repair, computer, or sewer.  For only $19.95, you'll earn your degree in no time.  Visit us online at SallyStruthers.edu.

Makes me wonder.  Is that where NoDr. Copocobana earned her PhD?

Here in the City of Deerfield Beach, we don't let an education stand in the way of banking some decent cash.

In fact, there's a dude over in the Public Works department (name slips me at the moment) that takes away $100,000.  And, the best part of this 6 figure income, he pulls it off with only a GED.

Temporary workers make $30/hr.  GED starts you at 6 figures.  Part time workers can earn up to $150,000.

Three words.

Simply fucking amazing.
Only in Deerfield
