City Commission agendas very frequently - too frequently - contain items requesting either variances or amendments to city ordinances which allow those housing developers and commercial merchants to develop and expand further than is permitted by existing ordinances.

Reeks of financial desperation.

Chaz Stevens, MAOS, Activist, Gadfly

Both the General Fund and the Fire Fund lost more money in 2012.

Commissioner Coleman: commended Marie Elianor for job well done. Someone should remind Coleman that Elianor is in L Lakes now not in Oakland Park doing PowerPoints. And comments that Dan Holmes was a jack of all trades- unfortunately she did not mention that he is not a master of any.

Chaz Stevens, MAOS, Activist, Gadfly

"The money still goes into the tax coffers. It does cost me more. It's like a loan."

In 2010, Holness, a former Lauderhill city commissioner, was voted in to office to complete the term of Josephus Eggelletion, who was removed from office and imprisoned for public corruption. In 2012, Holness was re-elected to serve a full-term.

Calling Mike Kessler to the rescue!

Here's the solution, a way out of this morass.

I bet County Auditor Evan Lukic is telling you, "But it's really their money that's paying for BSO." True, but what happens when they miss a payment? Will you be able to look your constituents in the eyeball and say, "Well, we knew they were fucking us, we just didn't do anything about it."

Evan Lukic, Broward County’s top CPA. Get ready to be unimpressed.

Chaz Stevens, MAOS, Activist, Gadfly

I am not sure if it's laziness, ineptness, or incompetence, but whatever the case, if Lukic worked for me, I'd have fired him in a NY minute.

The taxpayers of Broward County, on a monthly basis, assume a great financial liability, based on absolutely incorrect financial statements produced by Lauderdale Lakes. Do you really think Bank of America would guarantee a $1 million dollar loan using numbers derived from a fucking Ouija board?

In Plantation last week, city council members gave tentative approval to continue its garbage disposal contract service with Wheelabrator — and get a $500,300 signing bonus in the process. The council agreed to a five-year contract with five-year extension option. Like in Coral Springs, the money will be allocated to the general fund.

We've not even considered the notion of spending CRA money on a building and property that is the property of someone else (no, we're not talking about Broward Meet and Fist).

That. Is. Fucking. Nuts.

Chaz Stevens, MAOS, Activist, Gadfly

This is essentially looking at two contracts and selecting one. And who knows about their math- ME can't even get the monthly financial reports right.

Also it puts total control of procurement under CM for appeals, selection committees, disbarment of vendors, etc without the Commission ever knowing. And he can do any purchase up to $5,000 with only a phone call verbal quote that someone documents. How is that fair?

Eric Haynes – CRA Chair, successful business man, etc.

Chaz Stevens, MAOS, Activist, Gadfly

We think Haynes should raise his hand and say that I am that idiot.

So the CRA continues to pay, the property is in foreclosure, the CRA is out big bucks for the property, no development activity at all - trying desperately to parcel out parts of the property to other developers.
