Town Manager Esther Colon removed Broward Sheriff District Chief Scott Gooding on Friday with a single sentence fax.

It's true. There is a village full of idiots. This has to be the most disfunctional town in Broward!

[reality]

crime is down ONLY because BSO REFUSES to take reports on thefts from the local businesses!

[JImbo]

Another example of Broward County stupidity and incompetence, no one needs them!

[cato]

This is just outstanding work there. Kind of makes you wonder if all decisions are made in this way.

[Micro Manager]

Someone should find out how many dept. heads have been dumped by Colon. She's got to be the most hated alleged manager in the county.

One question: Did she ever approve the Chief's proposal for the renovation? Of cousre she did, then she flipped like a tarpon on a dock......politics, how nice.

BSO Chief, run for your life, she and the wanna-be-firebug McIntee are in bed.

Don't worry Chief, when we take over the jail's you could be a jailer for your old friend Scott Israel!

[Outraged Citizen]

Let's see...$284K from confiscation money collected with the leadership of the Chief....$140K from the City and they get a new police station....tell me now who is fiscally irresponsible.

The Chief is the best LBTS has ever had and because Town Manager can not push him around he is removed.

The Chief should stay...the Town Manager needs to go.

LBTS, first they try to half arse the fire department, know they want to half arse a police department. This is a real Bozoville!!

[BSO rank and file]

It's amazing how the sheriff want's a further explanation. It sounds like he believes in due-process. He should take a look at how his deputies are treated at the district level. And he wonders why moral is lower than when Ken Jenne was sheriff.

[broke back mountain]

You wanted a pay raise despite the looming budget crisis...you got it. You wanted hats and 12 hour shifts...you got that too! You are a disgruntled employee who can't find his way and one who has no clue. You are a spoiled "Generation X" road deputy who think of no one but yourself...it's all about you, isn't it? You can't even wait for the appropriate venue to aire your imaginary complaint. You'll just fit it in when someone complains about BSO. Get a life. Better yet, go to Ft Lauderdale P.D. You are the type that has changed this place forever.

Don't forget the bone and the water bowl

[Grin Reaper]

Chained to a floor bolt???
For how long??
Not that I am big on civil rights but ACLU lawyers must be drooling over that.
They will wish they had found some money.
How much do they pay this city manager?
