Elected officials group operated from city hall

BY ELGIN JONES

LAUDERDALE LAKES – Earlier this year, Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Hazelle Rogers sent an email through a city staff member, soliciting funds for the Broward Black Elected Officials organization, a group in which she is a member. “We need your assistance with ad sales and ticket sales from family members and friends,’’ states the Jan. 29 email about an annual gala the organization held on Feb. 25. “Tickets are $100.”

That email and dozens of others from fellow Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Lev-oyd Williams to city staff members demonstrates that the BBEO, a private organization run by elected public servants, has used Lauderdale Lakes city employees – at taxpayers’ expense – to help run its operations, a possible violation of the city’s charter and state law.

At the direction of Williams, who is president of the BBEO, city staff members have also raised funds for the group, organized the group’s meetings, and planned the annual galas from their city hall offices, records show.

The Mayor and Commission Room 124 inside Lauderdale Lakes city hall is designated for administrative city support staff. However, the room has actually been used as the hub of BBEO operations as well as for city business.

Tax dollars also paid for the group’s mailings from city hall, including those sent to some of the area’s biggest lobbyists and well-connected corporations that gave money to the group. They include United Homes International, Inc, the firm that was awarded a contract to build the city’s new $150 million Town Center project that is now under construction; Becker & Poliakoff, PA, which has a lobbying contract with the city; and Stephenson Construction, which has been awarded a contract to build the city’s new public library.
Some solicitations from the BBEO even requested sponsorships for the group’s website and its annual gala, which run as high $30,000 each. The gala featured a singing performance by Patti LaBelle.

The relationship between the BBEO and the city of Lauderdale Lakes may violate the state constitutional ban on using public resources to support private organizations.

"Neither the state nor any county, school district, municipality, special district, or agency of any of them, shall become a joint owner with, or stockholder of, or give, lend or use its taxing power or credit to aid any corporation, association, partnership or person," then Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist wrote in a March 2006 legal opinion in another case, citing the Florida Constitution.

“However, if the expenditure primarily or substantially serves a public purpose, the fact that the expenditure may also incidentally benefit private individuals does not violate Article VII, section 10, Florida Constitution,” Crist, who is now the governor, opined.

It remains unclear whether there has been any return value to the public on the organization’s use of public resources.

According to the BBEO’s by-laws, the group dis-tributes its funds entirely or substantially for “charit-able, religious scientific, literary or educational purposes.”

Williams, the BBEO president, has told the Broward Times that last year the group gave $10,000 to the United Negro College Fund, and plans to give $25,000 more to UNCF. Otherwise it is unclear exactly how the organization’s resources are being used.


DIRECTING CITY STAFF PROHIBITED

City Manager Anita Fain-Taylor and Commissioner David Shomers acknow-ledged that city staff have done work for BBEO.

“I have not, but others have,” Fain-Taylor said when asked if she and city staff have performed work in city hall for the BBEO.

She denied that BBEO operations are stationed in Lauderdale Lakes city hall, and did not respond to questions seeking confirmation on exactly who authorized any work city staff does for the group.

Williams supported Fain-Taylor’s contentions, and profusely denied any notion that the group he leads has used staff to do anything other than incidental tasks at city hall.

“The only work they do is because I am an elected official. They may open mail, or put a League of Cities event on my calendar, like the work I do on the National League of Cities ITC (information technology committee),” Williams explained. “I have never, and no elected official would ever, ask staff to do anything because the charter does not allow it.”

Yet stacks of emails and dozens of other internal city documents Williams sent to city staff, directing them to do work on behalf of BBEO, contradict his statements.

The documents show that Williams regularly gave directions to city staff to do work on behalf of the BBEO, including fundraising and soliciting money for the group.

Other records tell how Williams directed city employees to prepare and mail letters requesting money for tickets to their annual gala and the purchase of tables at BBEO events.

At his direction, city employees spent time scheduling BBEO meetings, creating agendas, and organizing its functions, all from city hall, using public equipment on city time, dating as far back as January 2005, records show.

“Please forward this to all the Black Elected Officials. Ask them to RSVP by this afternoon. Let me know by 4 p.m. who has not responded so I can contact them by phone,” Williams wrote in a Jan. 27, 2006 email to a city employee who was organizing the BBEO annual fundraiser and ball for that year.

“Tickets will be $100 per person and tables will sell to the general public for $1,000 and to corporations for $2,500,” reads one fundraising letter Williams directed city staff to distribute to donors and members of the group on Dec. 28, 2006.

In some of the documents, Williams even directed city employees to complete IRS tax return forms that were required for donations the group took in.

The staffers who work in the Lauderdale Lakes city commission office are under the city manager’s direction.

“The city commission or its members shall direct all requests for service and all orders to city employees who are within the city manager's span of control, through the city manager,” reads Section 4 of the Lauderdale Lakes charter, titled Commission/City Manager Interface.

Under the Lauderdale Lakes city charter, only the city manager is authorized to assign work to employees. Elected officials are expressly prohibited from directing staff to perform work or carry out tasks. The penalty for anyone convicted of willingly violating the city charter may include forfeiture of office and a $500 fine for each incident.

Williams denied any wrongdoing.

“Anything that has to do with me being on the League of cities, then they may do some scheduling,’’ Williams said. “For example, I’m on the 100 Black Men, so they don’t do any work for me on that, Leadership Broward, the NAACP, or what have you, because this would be improper. We never have been run out of city hall, meaning we don’t get checks there or do any work out of city hall,” he said.

Even though some checks made out to the group are addressed to Lauderdale Lakes city hall, in care of Williams, he remains adamant that the BBEO has its own location for operations.

“We have never been stationed in city hall. I mean someone may have sent a letter or two there, but we have our own office space and city hall is not our official location,” Williams said, but did not disclose the location of the BBEO offices.

State records show that the BBEO’s official place of business and mailing address from June 6, 2005 to Aug. 27 of this year was city hall, located at 4300 NW 36th St.

But shortly after the Broward Times asked city officials about the fact that the BBEO was being run out of city hall at taxpayers’ expense, Williams on Aug. 28 changed the address in state corporate records to reflect that BBEO’s official place of business and mailing address had been relocated out of city hall, to another location.

A Broward Times investigation revealed that the new BBEO address listed with The Florida Division of Corporations turns out to be Williams’ home address.

Still, the group’s stationery, mailing materials and mailing lists of hundreds of donors and potential contributors were seen in plain view on shelves in the mayor and commissioners room 124 office when the Broward Times made an unannounced visit this week.

A check of city occupational license records shows that neither the BBEO nor the real estate investment firm named N-Vest-It, LLC, which Williams also operates out of his home, are licensed with the city to function there. These possible code violations could result in citations and fines from the city.

City building officials said non-profit organizations generally are not charged fees, but they still must get permission from the city or a certificate of use.


CITY GIVES REDEVELOPMENT MONEY TO BBEO

The BBEO has received more than $11,000 from the city of Lauderdale Lakes since 2006, including $5,000 that originally came from the Lauderdale Lakes Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). That money was paid to the city, which then wrote a check to the BBEO.

“There is no inconsistency with the CRA Plan or the Florida Statutes in such sponsorships as they have been accepted as being beneficial to the community at-large,” Lauderdale Lakes CRA director Gary Rogers said.

Gary Rogers never explained exactly how CRA money that ultimately went to the BBEO benefits the city’s redevelopment efforts or the public.

Williams said he would only allow the by-laws to be “looked at,” but not copied. The group’s treasurer said requests to examine financial records would be discussed at their next meeting.

The BBEO will be happy to reply to your questions once the board has had an appropriate amount of time to review and discuss them,” BBEO treasurer and Wilton Manors commissioner Joe Angelo said.
That meeting is not scheduled to take place until October.

This article has been the buzz of the courthouse water cooler talk all week. Seems the executive board of this organization, will be investigated for possible criminal and conspiracy violations of applicable F.S.S. Would not want to be Wilton Manors City Commissioner Joe Angelo, (the organizations TREASURER) who was signing and sending out the checks for this group. Rumor has it that this is just the the tip of the iceberg and FDLE and the Broward County State Attorney and U.S Attorney ( If they sent checks out of state-MAIL FRAUD)will be stepping in quite shortly to conduct the appropriate criminal investigations. Elgin ( the writer of the story) has supplied authorities with a large amount of evidence to sustain an criminal complaint against the group. Should be in the headlines shortly.

09-19-2007, 03:16 AM
Hey was it JOE ANGELO who voted a while back NOT to support the Wilton Manors Police Department when the Commission was taking a vote on the PD? Me thinks it was.

Hey was it JOE ANGELO who voted a while back NOT to support the Wilton Manors Police Department when the Commission was taking a vote on the PD? Me thinks it was.

Yes it was him. I was their at that Council Mtg. 8) He was also the CITY COMMISSIONER that got so trashed and wasted at the City of Wilton Manors XMAS party on Hollywood Beach last year that they had to carry him to his car. I was also their to witness that special event. 8) What a way for a public official to act in front of the city employees and their families. Also heard he has been trashed at several bars around the city. Says all the right things at the public meetings then puts a knife in the back of a employee whenever he can. Yeh will support you the way you support us.

09-19-2007, 04:05 AM
I wonder if his bosses at Florida Power & Light know about this article and possible criminal violations that could follow ? If I were his boss, I know I would be concerned.

I wonder if his bosses at Florida Power & Light know about this article and possible criminal violations that could follow ? If I were his boss, I know I would be concerned.

If they did not know before, they now have a copy . :lol:

09-20-2007, 01:04 AM
Isn't this guy running for mayor. Well he can not be any worse than the one that is there now.

09-20-2007, 04:14 AM
Isn't this guy running for mayor. Well he can not be any worse than the one that is there now.

No he cannot. If Scott Newton stops fast Joe Angelo's head is up Scott's rear. All he is Scott's do boy and ally but he is not smart enough to see that he will be cut loose as soon as the Newton BOY has no more use for him. Pretty sad Joe.

09-20-2007, 05:09 AM
I MOVED TO WILTON MANORS IN LATE 2005 AFTER A 20 YEAR CAREER IN GOVERMENT IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND AND 3 YEARS IN WESTFIELD MASSACHUSETTS. I TRIED TO CONNECT WITH WHAHM OR NOW WAHM BUT AS SOMEBODY WHO HAS WORKED FOR GOVERMENT YOU HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS. ALL NICK BOYKO IS DOING IS USING HIS PREZ OF WAHM TO GET ON CITY COUCIL THE WAY JOE ANGELO DID AND THAT MAN IS A SNAKE. SAW THROUGH HIM REAL QUICK AS HE BROUGHT BOYKO AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN HE WAS RUNNING FOR ELECTION IN 2005 BUT WAS CRUSHED BY THE OPPOSITION. i THINK THROUGH CONVERSATIONS THAT ANGELSO HATES RESNICK BUT THAT IS FOR OTHER TO GET THE FACTS. ANY CITY EMPLOYEE WHO HAS A PENSION SHOULD VOTE AGAINST ANGELO, BOYKO OR RESICK BECAUSE THEY HAVE NONE AND WILL PUNISH THOSE WHO HAVE.

09-20-2007, 05:42 AM
AS a person who goes to every City Commission meeting, let me tell Nick Boyko is in Joe Angelo's pocket. They discuss every vote, ordinance or resolution that is votes on. This CITY deserves better indivduals tp represents themselves and the citizens on the CITY COMMISSION. :)

If I were a citizen of Wilton Manors, I would seriously consider suspending COMMISSIONER JOE ANGELO from office. His alleged misconduct raises serious questions about his authority to hold public office. Check the City Charter about the conduct of your elected officials.

09-20-2007, 05:53 AM
Hey was it JOE ANGELO who voted a while back NOT to support the Wilton Manors Police Department when the Commission was taking a vote on the PD? Me thinks it was.

Yes it was him. Those of us still stuck in the fraternity will never forget. And we know where those archived "swimming" pictures are. But that is left to a select few, because they will be released in due time. :twisted:

09-21-2007, 03:39 AM
Checkout today's Sun Sentinel. The headlines are about this organization which members leaving because of the investigation to come. This is going to get very sticky for our employees pal, Commissioner Joe Angelo.

09-22-2007, 03:30 AM
The end of the week talk at the courthouse is that this investigation into this organization is pickup up steam at a rapid pace. Black elected officials are bailing from this organization like rats off of a sinking ship. Will get intersting in the next couple of weeks when the investigation involving public corruption begins of the executive board of which our own city employee buddy, Commissioner Joe Angelo, is Treasurer. Good Times, Good Times

09-22-2007, 05:07 AM
If I were Wilton Manors Commissioner Joe Angelo or any other public official in Broward County right now I would not want to be under investigation for any type of wrong doing. The current Sate Attorney, M Satz recently announced that he will be running again in 2008 for re-election. For the first time in many years, he will face many worthwhile challengers. One of his weakest points the challengers will attack will be his lack of prosecution of public officials on corruption charges. His " Nolle pross" of almost every charge(s) against public officials was legendary and even his own staff has had enough. The recent guilty verdict against the Hollywood Commisioner would never had happend a couple of years ago. From now until election day in November 2008, His office will go after any hint of scandal from anyone tied to state or city goverment . By the way, my wife and I are Wilton Manors residents for over 9 years. Gonzo and Rocky made several excellent demonstrations for my SAO staff which educated them in their prosecutions of subjects charged with drug offenses. From what I can gather, he does not have a dog as Rocky has passed. This is truly a waste of a talented resource doing a great dis-service to the residents of this city. I will voicing my displeasure to the Mayor & Commission at a future Commission Meeting.

Just a thought, now that WING & ThINGS went under, where are the lunchtime meetings held between Mayor Scotty Newton, Commish Ted Galatis and the rest of their court? Man did they ever violate the SUNSHINE LAW which we have notes on and they usually did it on the 2nd & 4th Tuesday of every month shooting their mouths off to people from another city. Stupid move boys when somebody would like to take your services over on a permanent basis. I know Scott and Ted were never qualified to serve in our armed forces but they should have heard the motto "loose lips sink ships" which a lot of firemen or their friends have heard. :twisted:

Hey if we city employees get lucky enough and Commisioner Joe Angelo get's charged and convicted, will he share a cell with recently convicted Hollywood Commissioner Keith Wasserstrom? What's your thought's. I would love it. But hey Joe, I would still have my pension, what would you have? NOTHING.But that's okay, Eric will do very well for himself, very well.

Things are going to get very bad for Commissioner Joe Angelo very, very soon. He can run but not hide from his past which is going to come to light very soon. Can't wait for the scum to go DOWN!

09-27-2007, 04:14 AM
As a Wilton Manors resident this will get very interesting. was at the AUTONATION BLDG today where the Attorney General and State Attorney are housed. The TALK is how the investigation of this organization will proceed and the person who wrote the checks, employee hating JOE ANGELO, will be put under the microscope. It will have a major effect on the NOV 08 elections. Get ready Joe, and don't drop the soap.

09-27-2007, 04:30 AM
Angelo has problems, HUGE problems beside what is reported in the Broward Times. Do not forget the archived pictures of him and his "buds" or "boy"ko's that will be released whem appropriate. Thanks Mayor Scotty because drunken loose lips, sink ships, big ships.

Angelo will have big problems running for Mayor. The dirt will come out at a time and a release point that he will not expect. He can build up the 5 k all he wants( Celleste will be a cancer to him and Newton) but what will be released in print and in pictures will be brutual to him , Scott and Eric and to those who have latched on to him, which are going to cost him. May be a black and white issue from old school wilton manors from which persons of the past will arise from whence they came. Yea the Scotty Boy Fraternity may get very involved door to door, just to make Philly BOY see what he is.

Hey Joey Boy. You better get a clue and FAST. Now when the time is right, don't drop that soap on purpose!!!!

Elected officials group spent money raised for scholarships on lavish party

BY ELGIN JONES

LAUDERDALE LAKES – An organization of black elected officials in 2005 used most of the money it raised in the name of scholarships for paintings of the group’s honorees, musical bands and singers, radio advertising, restaurants and gifts from a golf store and day spa.

More than 70 percent of the money that the Broward Black Elected Officials raised in 2005 for charitable donations went to pay for a lavish party, according to records of the group’s finances obtained by the Broward Times.

The organization in 2005 took in $145,675 solicited in the name of college scholarships. Of that amount, the group spent $103,335.53 on an annual gala and related expenses. It is unclear where the rest of the money went, or how much of it was spent on scholarships.

For example, the group paid $59,925.61 that year to the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa for the gala, and spent more on hotel rooms, parking and refreshments at the hotel.

The group also paid $27,866.71 to Gray & Omphroy Concepts, Inc. of Lauderdale Lakes, for reimbursements of goods and services, and to organize the event.

The company is partially owned by the niece of Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Hazelle Rogers, who is also on the BBEO board of directors.

The Broward Times tried for several weeks to contact the owners of Gray & Omphroy about the work the company performed. State records show the company was dissolved Sept. 14, 2007 for failing to provide this year’s annual report.

“I figured you would be asking about that, but some of that was for money she spent out of her pocket and it was only fair to pay her back,” BBEO president Levoyd Williams said of payments to Gray & Omphroy.

Rogers said of the gifts, “The BBEO was formed to do good things, but we don’t have staff, so if someone has volunteered then you want to show your appreciation, and these things were given out as tokens. We didn’t look at any percentages that were paid out compared to what was taken in but after our next meeting you can expect to hear of some changes.”

Current BBEO Treasurer and Wilton Manors City Commissioner Joe Angelo said he has only a checkbook and a few receipts that Williams has turned over to him, but not the complete financial records. Williams promised to turn over the group’s complete financial records to the Broward Times, but had not done so as of press time.

“I’ve had the books for only the last couple of months where I have paid a few checks,” Angelo said, adding that he does not have any other records.

When asked about the group’s expenditures and the amount of funds collected this year, he replied, “I have no clue.”

Williams said spreadsheets were provided to members detailing funds and expenditures, but he acknow-ledged that those were not the complete financial records.

“What you are explaining to me are not the official financial records,” Williams said about the financial records obtained by the Broward Times.

“I’m not saying they are not our records, it’s just that they are not official. That’s what we give out to the members, but only myself and the treasurer have the official financial information,” Williams said.

The latest revelations about the BBEO come after Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner David Shomers resigned from the group on Sept. 24, just two weeks after he was accepted as the only white member of the organization.

His resignation from the BBEO, Inc. came three days after Oakland Park Commissioner Allegra Webb Murphy resigned from the group on Sept. 21.

Shomers and Murphy – along with Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner John Billingsley Jr. and Broward School Board Member Phyllis Hope, who resigned from the group two weeks ago – bring the total number of people who have left in recent weeks to four.

Last month, Williams said the group had more than 30 members.

Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Barrington Russell last week instructed city officials to cease paying any membership dues on his behalf to the organization, but he stopped short of officially resigning.

Some former members say they left the BBEO following reports in the Broward Times about the way the group operated improperly from Lauderdale Lakes city hall, raised money in the name of a charitable foundation that does not exist, and allegedly discriminated against Shomers because of his race as he sought membership in the group.

The resignations also follow reports that Williams and Rogers directed city staffers to do fundraising and other work for the private organization at taxpayers’ expense.

Williams on Thursday released a letter he said he would send to BBEO donors, informing them that their donations went to the organization, not to a separate foundation, as the organization’s earlier letters soliciting donations had stated.

The latest letter accurately states that the BBEO is a non-profit corporation, not a foundation.
Unlike foundations, public charities generally derive their funding or support from the general public, receiving grants from individuals, government and private foundations, according to The Foundation Center, which describes itself on its website as the most authoritative source of information on private philanthropy in the United States.

A private foundation, on the other hand, usually receives its main funding from a single source, such as an individual, family, or corporation, The Foundation Center states. Also, more often than not, a foundation makes grants to other charities.

“In our initial correspondences regarding our fundraiser, we incorrectly referred to our organization as a foundation,” states Williams’ letter to donors, which he read during this week’s Lauderdale Lakes city commission meeting. “This designation does not affect the charitable nature of your contribution to the BBEO.”

The letter goes on to say that funds from the 2007 BBEO gala have been earmarked for scholarships, including $5,000 each to Bethune-Cookman University, Florida Memorial University and Florida A & M University.

Another $15,000 in scholarships, the letter states, will be awarded to individual students once guidelines are established by a committee that has been set up for that purpose.

Elected officials group spent money raised for scholarships on lavish party

BY ELGIN JONES

LAUDERDALE LAKES – An organization of black elected officials in 2005 used most of the money it raised in the name of scholarships for paintings of the group’s honorees, musical bands and singers, radio advertising, restaurants and gifts from a golf store and day spa.

More than 70 percent of the money that the Broward Black Elected Officials raised in 2005 for charitable donations went to pay for a lavish party, according to records of the group’s finances obtained by the Broward Times.

The organization in 2005 took in $145,675 solicited in the name of college scholarships. Of that amount, the group spent $103,335.53 on an annual gala and related expenses. It is unclear where the rest of the money went, or how much of it was spent on scholarships.

For example, the group paid $59,925.61 that year to the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa for the gala, and spent more on hotel rooms, parking and refreshments at the hotel.

The group also paid $27,866.71 to Gray & Omphroy Concepts, Inc. of Lauderdale Lakes, for reimbursements of goods and services, and to organize the event.

The company is partially owned by the niece of Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Hazelle Rogers, who is also on the BBEO board of directors.

Thsi is just the tip of the Iceberg for this group. Multiple investigations have been started based on the Broward Times article and a follow up by the Sun Sentinel. The Governors office (through FDLE) has also received a request to conduct an investigation.

As a Wilton Manors resident this will get very interesting. was at the AUTONATION BLDG today where the Attorney General and State Attorney are housed. The TALK is how the investigation of this organization will proceed and the person who wrote the checks, employee hating JOE ANGELO, will be put under the microscope. It will have a major effect on the NOV 08 elections. Get ready Joe, and don't drop the soap.

Gee, If Commish Joe gets charged, can I "cuff" and "frisk" him. You all know he is my type.

Check out last weeks article on the Wilton Manors Police Department lack of enforcement at colhatchee park and all the gay sex that is going on in public view. But what is more bizarre is the quote of Commissioner Joe Angelo in relation to the problem. Go google Gay Express News and see for yourself. This guy claims to know something about law enforcement? He is as clueless as the imported police lieutenant and sergeant they brought in from fort lauderdale to run, or really run down the police dpartment and the quality of life of it's residents.And when are they going to patrol Wilton Drive. I just saw 3 cop cars at dunkin donut yet wilton drive has become a speedway while pedestrians scramble for their safety.

Very stupid statement by Commissioner Joe Angelo. Does he have the tapes when the cameras were on and arrests were prevelent. Do not think so. See ya Joe. Should keep your mouth shut.

I wonder if his bosses at Florida Power & Light know about this article and possible criminal violations that could follow ? If I were his boss, I know I would be concerned.

If they did not know before, they now have a copy . :lol:

What was their response??

Elected officials group operated from city hall

BY ELGIN JONES

LAUDERDALE LAKES – Earlier this year, Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Hazelle Rogers sent an email through a city staff member, soliciting funds for the Broward Black Elected Officials organization, a group in which she is a member. “We need your assistance with ad sales and ticket sales from family members and friends,’’ states the Jan. 29 email about an annual gala the organization held on Feb. 25. “Tickets are $100.”

That email and dozens of others from fellow Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Lev-oyd Williams to city staff members demonstrates that the BBEO, a private organization run by elected public servants, has used Lauderdale Lakes city employees – at taxpayers’ expense – to help run its operations, a possible violation of the city’s charter and state law.

At the direction of Williams, who is president of the BBEO, city staff members have also raised funds for the group, organized the group’s meetings, and planned the annual galas from their city hall offices, records show.

The Mayor and Commission Room 124 inside Lauderdale Lakes city hall is designated for administrative city support staff. However, the room has actually been used as the hub of BBEO operations as well as for city business.

Tax dollars also paid for the group’s mailings from city hall, including those sent to some of the area’s biggest lobbyists and well-connected corporations that gave money to the group. They include United Homes International, Inc, the firm that was awarded a contract to build the city’s new $150 million Town Center project that is now under construction; Becker & Poliakoff, PA, which has a lobbying contract with the city; and Stephenson Construction, which has been awarded a contract to build the city’s new public library.
Some solicitations from the BBEO even requested sponsorships for the group’s website and its annual gala, which run as high $30,000 each. The gala featured a singing performance by Patti LaBelle.

The relationship between the BBEO and the city of Lauderdale Lakes may violate the state constitutional ban on using public resources to support private organizations.

"Neither the state nor any county, school district, municipality, special district, or agency of any of them, shall become a joint owner with, or stockholder of, or give, lend or use its taxing power or credit to aid any corporation, association, partnership or person," then Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist wrote in a March 2006 legal opinion in another case, citing the Florida Constitution.

“However, if the expenditure primarily or substantially serves a public purpose, the fact that the expenditure may also incidentally benefit private individuals does not violate Article VII, section 10, Florida Constitution,” Crist, who is now the governor, opined.

It remains unclear whether there has been any return value to the public on the organization’s use of public resources.

According to the BBEO’s by-laws, the group dis-tributes its funds entirely or substantially for “charit-able, religious scientific, literary or educational purposes.”

Williams, the BBEO president, has told the Broward Times that last year the group gave $10,000 to the United Negro College Fund, and plans to give $25,000 more to UNCF. Otherwise it is unclear exactly how the organization’s resources are being used.


DIRECTING CITY STAFF PROHIBITED

City Manager Anita Fain-Taylor and Commissioner David Shomers acknow-ledged that city staff have done work for BBEO.

“I have not, but others have,” Fain-Taylor said when asked if she and city staff have performed work in city hall for the BBEO.

She denied that BBEO operations are stationed in Lauderdale Lakes city hall, and did not respond to questions seeking confirmation on exactly who authorized any work city staff does for the group.

Williams supported Fain-Taylor’s contentions, and profusely denied any notion that the group he leads has used staff to do anything other than incidental tasks at city hall.

“The only work they do is because I am an elected official. They may open mail, or put a League of Cities event on my calendar, like the work I do on the National League of Cities ITC (information technology committee),” Williams explained. “I have never, and no elected official would ever, ask staff to do anything because the charter does not allow it.”

Yet stacks of emails and dozens of other internal city documents Williams sent to city staff, directing them to do work on behalf of BBEO, contradict his statements.

The documents show that Williams regularly gave directions to city staff to do work on behalf of the BBEO, including fundraising and soliciting money for the group.

Other records tell how Williams directed city employees to prepare and mail letters requesting money for tickets to their annual gala and the purchase of tables at BBEO events.

At his direction, city employees spent time scheduling BBEO meetings, creating agendas, and organizing its functions, all from city hall, using public equipment on city time, dating as far back as January 2005, records show.

“Please forward this to all the Black Elected Officials. Ask them to RSVP by this afternoon. Let me know by 4 p.m. who has not responded so I can contact them by phone,” Williams wrote in a Jan. 27, 2006 email to a city employee who was organizing the BBEO annual fundraiser and ball for that year.

“Tickets will be $100 per person and tables will sell to the general public for $1,000 and to corporations for $2,500,” reads one fundraising letter Williams directed city staff to distribute to donors and members of the group on Dec. 28, 2006.

In some of the documents, Williams even directed city employees to complete IRS tax return forms that were required for donations the group took in.

The staffers who work in the Lauderdale Lakes city commission office are under the city manager’s direction.

“The city commission or its members shall direct all requests for service and all orders to city employees who are within the city manager's span of control, through the city manager,” reads Section 4 of the Lauderdale Lakes charter, titled Commission/City Manager Interface.

Under the Lauderdale Lakes city charter, only the city manager is authorized to assign work to employees. Elected officials are expressly prohibited from directing staff to perform work or carry out tasks. The penalty for anyone convicted of willingly violating the city charter may include forfeiture of office and a $500 fine for each incident.

Williams denied any wrongdoing.

“Anything that has to do with me being on the League of cities, then they may do some scheduling,’’ Williams said. “For example, I’m on the 100 Black Men, so they don’t do any work for me on that, Leadership Broward, the NAACP, or what have you, because this would be improper. We never have been run out of city hall, meaning we don’t get checks there or do any work out of city hall,” he said.

Even though some checks made out to the group are addressed to Lauderdale Lakes city hall, in care of Williams, he remains adamant that the BBEO has its own location for operations.

“We have never been stationed in city hall. I mean someone may have sent a letter or two there, but we have our own office space and city hall is not our official location,” Williams said, but did not disclose the location of the BBEO offices.

State records show that the BBEO’s official place of business and mailing address from June 6, 2005 to Aug. 27 of this year was city hall, located at 4300 NW 36th St.

But shortly after the Broward Times asked city officials about the fact that the BBEO was being run out of city hall at taxpayers’ expense, Williams on Aug. 28 changed the address in state corporate records to reflect that BBEO’s official place of business and mailing address had been relocated out of city hall, to another location.

A Broward Times investigation revealed that the new BBEO address listed with The Florida Division of Corporations turns out to be Williams’ home address.

Still, the group’s stationery, mailing materials and mailing lists of hundreds of donors and potential contributors were seen in plain view on shelves in the mayor and commissioners room 124 office when the Broward Times made an unannounced visit this week.

A check of city occupational license records shows that neither the BBEO nor the real estate investment firm named N-Vest-It, LLC, which Williams also operates out of his home, are licensed with the city to function there. These possible code violations could result in citations and fines from the city.

City building officials said non-profit organizations generally are not charged fees, but they still must get permission from the city or a certificate of use.


CITY GIVES REDEVELOPMENT MONEY TO BBEO

The BBEO has received more than $11,000 from the city of Lauderdale Lakes since 2006, including $5,000 that originally came from the Lauderdale Lakes Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). That money was paid to the city, which then wrote a check to the BBEO.

“There is no inconsistency with the CRA Plan or the Florida Statutes in such sponsorships as they have been accepted as being beneficial to the community at-large,” Lauderdale Lakes CRA director Gary Rogers said.

Gary Rogers never explained exactly how CRA money that ultimately went to the BBEO benefits the city’s redevelopment efforts or the public.

Williams said he would only allow the by-laws to be “looked at,” but not copied. The group’s treasurer said requests to examine financial records would be discussed at their next meeting.

The BBEO will be happy to reply to your questions once the board has had an appropriate amount of time to review and discuss them,” BBEO treasurer and Wilton Manors commissioner Joe Angelo said.
That meeting is not scheduled to take place until October.

If I were a citizen of Wilton Manors, I would seriously consider suspending COMMISSIONER JOE ANGELO from office. His alleged misconduct raises serious questions about his authority to hold public office. Check the City Charter about the conduct of your elected officials.[/quote

I agree. Lets get the Ball started. If there are any residents out there who are lawyers, Can you please look into this? We need to get these corrupted people out of Wilton Manors. Please,Please !!!!!!!

SO WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU THINK JOE A. DID.??? NOTHING THAT I CAN SEE, HAVENT SEEN ANYTHING IN THE SUN SENTINEL OR MIAMI PAPER..JUST THIS LITTLE FREE STREET CORNER GOSSIP PAPER....

Matter of fact it was in the Sun Sentinel. It really does not matter because it has caught the attention of local and federal procecutors. What is interesting is that the statewide prosecutor is very interested because the mailings went outside Broward County which indicates they may be looking for some type of conspiracy charge against the organization and it's officers. Elgin Jones is a widely respected journalist who when he sets his sights on a target, is very thorough and reports his investigations to the proper authorities. I would not want to be Joe Angelo or any other member of this organization as this is just the beginning. The taxpayers of Wilton Manors should also not be stuck with his attorney bills as this is outside his scope of work as a city commissioner.

Actually am not a WMPD Officer. Am a former Secret Service Agent, present US Post Office Inspector and a strong union rep who saw a couple of good friends get screwed in the Manors and my sister happens to live their in Manor Grove. Seems the checks that Mr Angelo signed were sent in the US Mail. And it has gone from the State Attorney to the U.S. Attorney, who has declared jurisdiction. Bad move which have drawn the interest of the US Goverment based on the information brought forth by Elgin Jones. The smart ones should be bailing from this org pronto.

Chief of Black Elected Officials group refuses to resign
By Juan Ortega | South Florida Sun-Sentinel
October 18, 2007

Pressure continued to increase Wednesday for Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Levoyd Williams to resign as president of Broward Black Elected Officials. Williams instead has vowed to reclaim the reputation of the nonprofit political group.

The business practices of the organization have fallen under increased public scrutiny for weeks, as some members have left the group in protest. The most recent departure came this week when fellow Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Barrington Russell quit, saying the group has been too slow to answer critics.

Those critics have questioned if the Broward Black Elected Officials group has spent too much money on fundraising rather than spending more of it on student scholarships, as well as insufficiently kept track of finances. Members don't know specifics about the group's finances and redirect questions to Williams, who in turn hasn't answered how much money the group has collected and what percent has gone to charity.

"I called him on Monday to clarify the financial position of the organization. The response wasn't satisfactory and didn't make much sense to me," Russell said. "With rumors of misappropriations, you should be in a position where you should be able to give accurate information."

The group, with about 20 members, has a mission of fostering leadership skills among elected officials and raising scholarship money for high school and college students.

Williams said he plans to make available soon the group's financial form for the 2005-2006 fiscal year, a document he said was prepared by an accounting firm and given to the Internal Revenue Service. The financial activity for the 2006-2007 fiscal year would be filed at a later time, Williams said.

"This is a worthy organization and sometimes worthy organizations come under attack," Williams said. "But worthy people stick to it."

Dania Beach Vice Mayor Albert Jones, a former member of the organization in the 1990s, said he wants to rejoin the group — but only after Williams gives up his post.

"Whether there's wrongdoing or not, for the greater good, Williams has to resign," Jones said. "Just presenting information is not enough. The stigma is already there."

Wilton Manors Commissioner Joe Angelo, recently appointed as the group's treasurer, defended Williams, saying Williams took too much responsibility to compensate for waning group participation.

"Levoyd has taken on more work than any one person can handle. We're finally realizing that," Angelo said.

Like rats leaving a sinking ship. Tic Toc Mr Joe Angelo your time is coming. Think of all the knives you have put in peoples back at F P &L and the City of Wilton Manors. You are a disgrace as a supervisor and co worker at FP&L and as a public official in Wilton Manors. They say what goes around comes around and in your case that would be justice served.

Hey Commissioner Joe Angelo-Words of advise if you do some jail time for writing this group's checks and sending them through the US Mail. Beware of anyone in the joint named Bubba who befriends you. They will really want to be your friend, but when you turn your back, they will put a knife or chiv in it. But wait, isn't that what you like to do to people. :wink:

Black elected officials ask group leader to resign

BY ELGIN JONES

The very name of the Broward Black Elected Officials, Inc. has become increasingly synonymous with controversy. Several additional members left the embattled organization this week, and others may soon follow.

As each day passes, more of the group’s members are calling on the organization’s president, Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Levoyd Williams, to resign from his leadership post with the BBEO amid unanswered questions about the organization’s finances.

Several people close to the organization told the Broward Times that Williams refuses to step down, and the remaining members do not have the will to force him out.

“It’s beginning to stink and you can quote me, because the odor is now affecting all black elected officials,” Lauderdale Lakes Mayor Sam Brown said on Thursday, adding that he is resigning from the group.

The criticism centers around unanswered questions about the way the private group spends its money and the fact that it used Lauderdale Lakes city staff and city hall to assist in its fundraising efforts.

West Park City Commissioner Thomas Dorsett on Thursday said he is not resigning from the group, but he will no longer participate in the group’s activities.

“Based on my conversations with the other members, a consensus has been reached for Levoyd to resign, but they are telling me if any member will step forward to take the position, then they will force him out,” Dorsett said. “I done all I can do, but if the books are not opened up to the members, the public and the media, then you can expect to see more people drop out of it, including me.’’

In the meantime, other BBEO members continued their steady stream of defections in the wake of the controversy.

“I have resigned from it. I have gotten out of that bloody mess,” Brown said on Thursday. “If everything is on the up and up, then you know your books must be fully open to everyone, and I mean completely open, no games.”

Brown said he has not submitted a formal letter of resignation, but said he planned to make his intentions known to Williams in a telephone call.

Earlier in the week, Brown announced he was suspending his membership until the group restructured, gave a full accounting of its finances, and disclosed its business practices.

That did not happen.

Williams, who changed his cell phone number after the controversy erupted, did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

Lauderdale Lakes Deputy Vice Mayor Barrington Russell submitted his resignation from the BBEO in an email to Williams on Monday night.

Russell said he decided to leave the group after contacting Williams about the group’s finances. He said he was disappointed when Williams was vague and would not agree to give him access to the group’s financial records.

“I therefore urge you to give a full and proper accounting of all the funds you have collected and expended so that all and sundry can be assured that you and your board of directors and officers are in fact in compliance with our laws,’’ Russell wrote in the email. “Finally, I think the best thing you can do for the sake of our community at this time is to resign your position as president to allow for the proper disclosure in a transparent way because I can tell you, you are at best opaque.”

To date, of the seven Lauderdale Lakes commis-sioners, only two now remain active in the BBEO: Williams and Commissioner Hazelle Rogers.

Before elected officials began to resign from the BBEO last month, Williams said the organization had more than 30 members. Since then, seven members have told the Broward Times that they have resigned from the group.

Others who have left the group over questions about how the BBEO operates are Lauderdale Lakes commissioners David Shomers, John Billingsley and Eric Haynes.

Broward County School Board member Phyllis Hope and Oakland Park City Commissioner Allegra Webb Murphy have also resigned from the group.

Dorsett’s statement on Thursday seeking Williams’ resignation came just a day after Dania Beach Vice Mayor Albert Jones on Wednesday called for Williams to resign from the post.

Jones said in an email he was not a “dues-paying member,” but has attended some meetings. He said there is an increasingly loud chorus of members who are calling upon Williams to vacate his BBEO post.
Jones also said he would not participate in the group’s activities any further until Williams resigns.

“My reasons are that the organization has continued to receive negative press under your leadership and it would best serve the elected officials of Broward County, as well as the community at large, if you would just resign,” Jones stated in his email to Williams.

Jones continued in his email, “In closing, upon your resignation, I as well as others would gladly join to rekindle the vision, purpose and goals this great organization was envisioned to pursue.’’

Jones, who is also a member of the South Broward Hospital District’s board of commissioners, said he made the decision after receiving an email from Williams that went out to BBEO members this week, giving notice of a press conference in which Williams was supposed to make available one of the organization’s tax return forms.

As of press time, no press conference had been announced and no financial information had been released, not even to BBEO members.

Williams had previously made repeated promises to make the group’s financial records available, but backed away from that position as each of his self-imposed deadlines passed.

At one point, Williams stated that “no laws” require him to release the group’s financial records for the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Former state Rep. Chris Smith, who remains a member of the group, suggested that it is time for a change.

“I think the BBEO is going through a reorganization period, which I think would be good for the future,’’ Smith said. “There should be an opportunity for everyone to serve, and because we took in public dollars, then we have to be totally transparent with our finances.’’

Man-This investigation get's deeper & deeper. How can you keep defending the President of this organization like Joe Angelo keep's doing. I know you are presumed innocent until found guilty but the way respected elected officials are bailing at a rapid rate, you wonder when it is time to leave the sinking ship. And it all goes back to the check's which are written by the treasurer, Wilton Manors City Commissioner Joe Angelo. Hmmm..
Can the taxpayers of Wilton Manors trust him with overseeing the city funds with this investigation ongoing. Could be risky business.

10-26-2007, 04:01 AM
JOE ANGELO HAS SOME VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH. VERY SERIOUS. THIS GROUP WILL BRING DOWN SOME VERY WELL KNOWN POLITICIANS AND JOE ANGELO WILL BE ONE. HE HAS BACKSTABBED SO MANY FP &L PEOPLE TO GET TO HIS CURRENT POSITION IT IS SAD. THE TAXPAYERS OF THE MANORS NEED TO KNOW HE IS ALL ABOUT BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION. HE IS EVIL.

Group's tax returns riddled with inaccuracies
BY ELGIN JONES

The Broward Black Elected Officials, Inc. this week disclosed tax returns for 2005 and 2006, revealing numerous inaccuracies and omissions that have created fresh controversies.

BBEO President Levoyd Williams said the returns have been filed with the Internal Revenue Service, though they were dated months after the filing deadline.

“The tax returns were completed by our accountant, and we stand behind his work,” said Williams, who is also a Lauderdale Lakes commissioner. “No more questions about this because as of right now, I’m through dealing with this issue, and will only answer questions if you send them to me in writing.’’

Even though Williams insisted for weeks that the organization had previously completed its tax returns, the IRS 990 forms he disclosed to the media on Wednesday show they were actually filed just last week, on Oct. 18, for both the 2005 and 2006 tax years.

The 2005 return was filed more than 17 months late, and the 2006 forms were submitted nearly five months past the May 15 deadline for most non-profit organizations, according to information posted on the IRS’s website.

It is unclear what penalties the BBEO may face for filing returns after the deadline.

The disclosure of the tax returns appeared to cause even more confusion among BBEO members, many of whom were already seeking Williams’ resignation – in part because he would not release the organization’s financial records to them.

“If what you are saying is correct about all of these inaccuracies, it may be or could be viewed, as being some kind of an illegal act,” said E. Pat Larkins, a Pompano Beach city commissioner and BBEO member. “If it were me, I would resign, and I believe most of us have hinted to him that he should resign, but as an organization we have not officially acted.”

Several BBEO members said they learned about the forms for the first time this week.

The 2005 return was completed by the accounting firm of Harvey, Branker and Associates, P.A. and appears to have been signed by the firm’s principle owner, Roderick Harvey, on Oct. 18. However, according to state records, that accounting firm dissolved itself on May 30, 2000.

The 2006 return was completed by a firm named Harvey, Covington, and Thomas, LLC., whose principle owner is also Harvey. Harvey’s signature appears to be on that return, also.

Harvey’s firm is also under contract to perform accounting work for the city of Lauderdale Lakes. The contractual relationship raises questions about possible conflicts of interest with Williams and fellow Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Hazelle Rogers, both of whom sit on the BBEO’s board of directors.

City officials confirmed that the company is under contract with the city, performing audits of city operations and commission expenditures.

“Yes, they have done work for the city and are at present under contract, the city manager and city attorney tell me,’’ said Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner John Billingsley, who recently resigned from the BBEO over concerns about the way the organization handled its finances, among other issues. “At this point, I am withholding any comments until I confer with our city attorneys and get more information.’’

Harvey was out of town attending a conference in Orlando. He responded to a reporter’s questions via email.

“Tax returns are prepared based on information provided by the client,” Harvey explained in an email to the Broward Times. “Final returns are then presented to the client, with instructions for the client to review the information contained therein. As you know, I am not privileged to discuss the details of client information, or returns without written permission from the client. If you have any further questions, you may want to contact my client to see if he will grant written authority for me to discuss with you further.”

In addition to the fact that both returns were signed the same day, the two accounting businesses have the same addresses and same phone numbers. It remains unclear why the returns have the names of the two different firms, even though only one actually completed the returns.

Williams did not respond to requests to allow Harvey to discuss the group’s financial information. Harvey released a copy of a standard letter his firm gave Williams, advising the BBEO it is the nonprofit agency’s responsibility to ensure that the information it submits to the accounting firm is accurate.

The returns are fraught with inaccurate information and are not consistent with financial records from the group that the Broward Times obtained weeks ago.

“I’m not saying the records you have are not our records, but they are not the official records,” Williams said at the time.

Among the questionable items that were not disclosed, or incorrectly answered on the tax returns, is information about changes made to the BBEO’s corporate address. The forms also indicate that the group took no money for membership dues collected, or had a website.

Other sections, like the lines that require the total amounts of monies taken in, and the amount of expenditures, were left blank, which inaccurately indicates those amounts were zero.

On stationery the BBEO sent out to solicit funds, the group listed as many as eight members of its board of directors.

But the returns for both years state that there are only five board members who make decisions and vote: Williams as president, state Rep. Joe Gibbons as vice-president, Wilton Manors Commissioner Joe Angelo as treasurer, Lauderhill commissioner Margaret Bates as secretary and Rogers as director.
Neither Gibbons, Angelo, Bates, nor Rogers could be reached for comment on Thursday.

In the section of the form that asks if the group complied with public requests to inspect its tax returns and exemption documents, the “yes” box is checked. The Broward Times has made repeated requests for the agency’s financial documents, and the agency has continued its refusal to provide the records to the newspaper.
The Broward Times obtained the tax forms from the website of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, which posted the records after receiving them from Williams.

Williams has admitted several times, including during a press conference this week, that the group operated out of Lauderdale Lakes city hall for years and utilized city staff to perform work, at no cost to the nonprofit agency.

The IRS forms asks if the organization has received any donated or discounted services or use of materials or facilities, and to state their values. The BBEO checked “no’’ in those boxes.

Revelations about the tax returns have pushed yet another BBEO member to the point of distancing himself from group.

“As of now I’m folding my hands and letting it go. I don’t want anything more to do with it. I think it’s not worth the time anymore because whatever happens, it’s best to let it take its course,” West Park City Commissioner Thomas Dorsett said. “Whatever it takes to get the books open, then that’s what should be done.”

Through it all, Williams insists that the group does important work and is beneficial to the community.

According to a recent press release, the organization gave $10,000 to the United Negro College Fund in 2006, and $15,000 in scholarships to three historically black Florida colleges in 2007. Some members say the time for a restructuring has long since passed.

“First of all, everything should be fully open to the public, period. There is no discussion about that. But as far I’m concerned, he, nor anyone else has done anything wrong, so let’s just open it all up to everyone,” Larkins said. “The checks, bank statements, and receipts. I mean everything.”

Commissioner seeks criminal probe of black elected officials group
BY ELGIN JONES

LAUDERDALE LAKES – City Commissioner John Billingsley Jr. on Thursday said he plans to ask Gov. Charlie Crist to open a criminal investigation into the Broward Black Elected Officials, Inc. in light of the group’s recent financial missteps.
Billingsley also said he would publicly ask Levoyd Williams, the BBEO president, to resign from his city commission seat at Tuesday’s meeting.

“I intend to ask him to resign from the city commission. It would be the best thing he could do,” Billingsley said. “I think it’s now incumbent upon the state officials to act. You can’t take the public’s money, simply stonewall about giving a full and open accounting, and everyone knows this.”

Crist’s office did not immediately respond to calls and emails. Williams could not be reached for comment.

Billingsley said he wants an investigation into the BBEO’s fundraising activities in Lauderdale Lakes city hall, how the group spent money it solicited in the name of scholarships, and a forensic probe of the group’s financial records, including its tax returns, which contain numerous errors.

The latest revelations involving the BBEO follow continuing controversies that are increasingly affecting Lauderdale Lakes city hall, and putting the spotlight on how the city is being governed.

“I will put forth a motion for the entire commission to pass a resolution asking Gov. Charlie Crist to appoint an independent law enforcement agency to investigate the Broward Black Elected Officials,” Billingsley said. “This is to prevent the further erosion of the integrity of the city.’’

The controversy surrounding the BBEO’s finances now extends to the city’s accounting firm; Harvey, Covington, and Thomas of Hollywood, which may lose its contract with the city if commissioners who have doubts about the firm’s integrity decide they no longer want the company’s services.

Questions arose about the firm’s integrity after it prepared the BBEO’s 2005 and 2006 tax returns, which contained numerous errors, including conflicting information about how much money the group raised.

Billingsley said he might seek to have the company’s contract canceled at Tuesday’s workshop meeting, which takes place prior to the regular commission meeting.
Already, such a move appears to be gathering support.

“On the face, it appears that these auditors are in clear violation of their contract, and as a result, I’ve lost my confidence in their ability to give us objective financial advice and oversight,” Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner David Shomers said.

“At this point, why would we want to use them? As our accountant, he has to be neutral,” Mayor Sam Brown said.

Referring to Williams’ use of the city’s accounting firm to work for the BBEO, Brown said, “I think Levoyd is wrong, and Harvey should have told him, ‘No.’ ”

Brown would not say how he will vote on the firm’s contract.

Lauderdale Lakes commissioners Barrington Russell, Eric Haynes, Williams and Hazelle Rogers have not said whether they support terminating the contract.

As BBEO board members, Williams and Rogers may be precluded from voting on any matters that involve the group.

The city hired the accounting firm in 2004, engaging it for three years at $38,000 a year. In December 2006, commissioners extended the contract for two additional years. The contract provides for the city to pay the firm $53,000 for the fiscal year 2007 audit, and $55,000 in fiscal year 2008.

Neither Williams nor Rogers responded to repeated calls for comment on the firm’s possible conflict of interest, or other issues.

According to the accounting firm’s contract with the city, the firm must notify city officials of any work it may undertake that could be viewed as a potential conflict of interest; and the city then must determine if a conflict exists.

Several commissioners said they were unaware of the work the company performed for the BBEO until they read about it in newspaper reports.

“I didn’t know anything about it until I read it in the paper,” Brown said.

Roderick Harvey, a principal in the firm, could not be reached at his Hollywood offices. He said previously that he could not discuss a client’s tax returns without the client’s prior written consent.

Billingsley resigned from the BBEO in September amid concerns about the way the private group handled its finances and operated from city hall, including the use of city staff for fundraising activities.

He has also announced that he will run against Broward County Mayor Josephus Eggelletion for Eggelletion’s District 9 county commission seat. Eggelletion is a member of the BBEO.

Last week, the BBEO released to the media its 2005 and 2006 tax returns. The group has refused to release other financial records to members, or to the media.

Commissioner seeks criminal probe of black elected officials group
BY ELGIN JONES

LAUDERDALE LAKES – City Commissioner John Billingsley Jr. on Thursday said he plans to ask Gov. Charlie Crist to open a criminal investigation into the Broward Black Elected Officials, Inc. in light of the group’s recent financial missteps.
Billingsley also said he would publicly ask Levoyd Williams, the BBEO president, to resign from his city commission seat at Tuesday’s meeting.

“I intend to ask him to resign from the city commission. It would be the best thing he could do,” Billingsley said. “I think it’s now incumbent upon the state officials to act. You can’t take the public’s money, simply stonewall about giving a full and open accounting, and everyone knows this.”

Crist’s office did not immediately respond to calls and emails. Williams could not be reached for comment.

Billingsley said he wants an investigation into the BBEO’s fundraising activities in Lauderdale Lakes city hall, how the group spent money it solicited in the name of scholarships, and a forensic probe of the group’s financial records, including its tax returns, which contain numerous errors.

The latest revelations involving the BBEO follow continuing controversies that are increasingly affecting Lauderdale Lakes city hall, and putting the spotlight on how the city is being governed.

“I will put forth a motion for the entire commission to pass a resolution asking Gov. Charlie Crist to appoint an independent law enforcement agency to investigate the Broward Black Elected Officials,” Billingsley said. “This is to prevent the further erosion of the integrity of the city.’’

The controversy surrounding the BBEO’s finances now extends to the city’s accounting firm; Harvey, Covington, and Thomas of Hollywood, which may lose its contract with the city if commissioners who have doubts about the firm’s integrity decide they no longer want the company’s services.

Questions arose about the firm’s integrity after it prepared the BBEO’s 2005 and 2006 tax returns, which contained numerous errors, including conflicting information about how much money the group raised.

Billingsley said he might seek to have the company’s contract canceled at Tuesday’s workshop meeting, which takes place prior to the regular commission meeting.
Already, such a move appears to be gathering support.

“On the face, it appears that these auditors are in clear violation of their contract, and as a result, I’ve lost my confidence in their ability to give us objective financial advice and oversight,” Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner David Shomers said.

“At this point, why would we want to use them? As our accountant, he has to be neutral,” Mayor Sam Brown said.

Referring to Williams’ use of the city’s accounting firm to work for the BBEO, Brown said, “I think Levoyd is wrong, and Harvey should have told him, ‘No.’ ”

Brown would not say how he will vote on the firm’s contract.

Lauderdale Lakes commissioners Barrington Russell, Eric Haynes, Williams and Hazelle Rogers have not said whether they support terminating the contract.

As BBEO board members, Williams and Rogers may be precluded from voting on any matters that involve the group.

The city hired the accounting firm in 2004, engaging it for three years at $38,000 a year. In December 2006, commissioners extended the contract for two additional years. The contract provides for the city to pay the firm $53,000 for the fiscal year 2007 audit, and $55,000 in fiscal year 2008.

Neither Williams nor Rogers responded to repeated calls for comment on the firm’s possible conflict of interest, or other issues.

According to the accounting firm’s contract with the city, the firm must notify city officials of any work it may undertake that could be viewed as a potential conflict of interest; and the city then must determine if a conflict exists.

Several commissioners said they were unaware of the work the company performed for the BBEO until they read about it in newspaper reports.

“I didn’t know anything about it until I read it in the paper,” Brown said.

Roderick Harvey, a principal in the firm, could not be reached at his Hollywood offices. He said previously that he could not discuss a client’s tax returns without the client’s prior written consent.

Billingsley resigned from the BBEO in September amid concerns about the way the private group handled its finances and operated from city hall, including the use of city staff for fundraising activities.

He has also announced that he will run against Broward County Mayor Josephus Eggelletion for Eggelletion’s District 9 county commission seat. Eggelletion is a member of the BBEO.

Last week, the BBEO released to the media its 2005 and 2006 tax returns. The group has refused to release other financial records to members, or to the media.

Billingsley said Williams’ resignation “would be the best thing he could do to end all the questions, rumors and speculation. The very idea that someone thinks they can take the public’s money, then keep what they’ve done with it a secret, is unacceptable.”

This is going to get very messy for Mr Angelo. Actually ugly is a better word. He sits back and says oh everything is fine with his selected band of cronies in the city & FP &L but the clock is ticking on misconduct charges. Saw the 5k race race info posted by the water desk. Might be the last race he puts on from 24-36 months. Remember Joe all the daggers you put into peoples backs maybe coming around to haunt you as you are so deserving of it.

What does the size of the paper matter. If you look at the archives wasn't this little free corner paper one of the first, if not the first to report on the ken jenne investigation among others. Check the back issues, and I would say that this little paper has one helluva track record when Elgin uncovers corruption and misconduct by public officials and reports the same. As an attorney,I can tell you these type of investigations start by getting bits and pieces of information which then gain steam when the initial dots are connected. Actually an investigation of this type could be compared to a long race which is just getting out of the starting blocks. Their is a tremendous amount of paper trail evidence to be analyzed which does take time but it is the best evidence a investigater can collect for comparison.

BBEO
Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign is not responding to questions about the campaign’s connection to Lauderdale Lakes City Comm-issioner Levoyd Williams. The city commissioner makes no secret that he is on the Obama campaign team here. Williams is head of the troubled Broward Black Elected Officials, Inc. (BBEO) organization, which is mired in all sorts of issues, including filing federal tax returns riddled with false and inaccurate information. The Broward State Attorneys Office confirmed recently that they have been “looking at” the BBEO for weeks now, but any announcement of a formal criminal probe may not come before intervention from the governor. Several citizens say they have sent letters to Gov. Charlie Crist demanding an investigation. A near-majority of Williams’ fellow Lauderdale Lakes commissioners say they, too, will support a proposed resolution asking the governor to initiate a criminal probe. That resolution is sched uled to be voted on at the upcoming Nov. 27 commission meeting.

LAUDERDALE LAKES
If the issues related to the BBEO’s operating out of Lauderdale Lakes city hall at taxpayers expense were not enough, wait until you see what’s coming next. Based on internal documents, it appears that city staffers may have used tax dollars to pay for private items for a select clique of city officials. City Manager Anita Fain-Taylor had not responded as of press time about some of the expenditures, and it ain’t nothing nice. Stay tuned

[quote="yea!":3j0qtmpw]SO WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU THINK JOE A. DID.??? NOTHING THAT I CAN SEE, HAVENT SEEN ANYTHING IN THE SUN SENTINEL OR MIAMI PAPER..JUST THIS LITTLE FREE STREET CORNER GOSSIP PAPER....

Matter of fact it was in the Sun Sentinel. It really does not matter because it has caught the attention of local and federal procecutors. What is interesting is that the statewide prosecutor is very interested because the mailings went outside Broward County which indicates they may be looking for some type of conspiracy charge against the organization and it's officers. Elgin Jones is a widely respected journalist who when he sets his sights on a target, is very thorough and reports his investigations to the proper authorities. I would not want to be Joe Angelo or any other member of this organization as this is just the beginning. The taxpayers of Wilton Manors should also not be stuck with his attorney bills as this is outside his scope of work as a city commissioner.


really, please provide the link to the article in the sun sentinel...and not the one about the white commisioner wanting to join...but about the stuff that mr jones mentions...and who says Mr jones is a respected journalist..??[/quote:3j0qtmpw]

sounds to me like this is starting to get serious. what do you think "oh really"?

The Executive Board of the BBEO ( Joe Angelo-Treasurer) and the City Administration of Lauderdale Lakes are going to face major problems when the criminal conspiracy probe begins.

According to the accounting firm’s contract with the city, the firm must notify city officials of any work it may undertake that could be viewed as a potential conflict of interest; and the city then must determine if a conflict exists.

Several commissioners said they were unaware of the work the company performed for the BBEO until they read about it in newspaper reports.

“I didn’t know anything about it until I read it in the paper,” Brown said.

Roderick Harvey, a principal in the firm, could not be reached at his Hollywood offices. He said previously that he could not discuss a client’s tax returns without the client’s prior written consent.

Billingsley resigned from the BBEO in September amid concerns about the way the private group handled its finances and operated from city hall, including the use of city staff for fundraising activities.

He has also announced that he will run against Broward County Mayor Josephus Eggelletion for Eggelletion’s District 9 county commission seat. Eggelletion is a member of the BBEO.

Last week, the BBEO released t o the media its 2005 and 2006 tax returns. The group has refused to release other financial records to members, or to the media.

Billingsley said Williams’ resignation “would be the best thing he could do to end all the questions, rumors and speculation. The very idea that someone thinks they can take the public’s money, then keep what they’ve done with it a secret, is unacceptable.”

IF YOU GO:

The Lauderdale Lakes City Commission will meet for a workshop at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at city hall, 4300 NW 36th St. The regular city commission meeting will take place at 7 p.m. at city hall.

BBEO
Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign is not responding to questions about the campaign’s connection to Lauderdale Lakes City Comm-issioner Levoyd Williams. The city commissioner makes no secret that he is on the Obama campaign team here. Williams is head of the troubled Broward Black Elected Officials, Inc. (BBEO) organization, which is mired in all sorts of issues, including filing federal tax returns riddled with false and inaccurate information. The Broward State Attorneys Office confirmed recently that they have been “looking at” the BBEO for weeks now, but any announcement of a formal criminal probe may not come before intervention from the governor. Several citizens say they have sent letters to Gov. Charlie Crist demanding an investigation. A near-majority of Williams’ fellow Lauderdale Lakes commissioners say they, too, will support a proposed resolution asking the governor to initiate a criminal probe. That resolution is sched uled to be voted on at the upcoming Nov. 27 commission meeting.

LAUDERDALE LAKES
If the issues related to the BBEO’s operating out of Lauderdale Lakes city hall at taxpayers expense were not enough, wait until you see what’s coming next. Based on internal documents, it appears that city staffers may have used tax dollars to pay for private items for a select clique of city officials. City Manager Anita Fain-Taylor had not responded as of press time about some of the expenditures, and it ain’t nothing nice. Stay tuned

The Executive Board of the BBEO ( Joe Angelo-Treasurer) and the City Administration of Lauderdale Lakes are going to face major problems when the criminal conspiracy probe begins. The initial posting about the investigation have been very, very accurate. I would think some people involved with this organization may be dialing 1-800-lawyer right now.

Right now this investigaion will be handed off to Mike Satz but it will be given to the Asst. US Attorney in Miami. This group is sunk with the TREASURER JOE ANGELO in big trouble as the one who signed the checks. Could not have happend to a bigger backstapper. You joe, hope you get one right between the shoulder blades because that is what you have done to quite a few people at FP &L and the City you were elected to protect.

Commissioner seeks criminal probe of black elected officials group
BY ELGIN JONES

LAUDERDALE LAKES – City Commissioner John Billingsley Jr. on Thursday said he plans to ask Gov. Charlie Crist to open a criminal investigation into the Broward Black Elected Officials, Inc. in light of the group’s recent financial missteps.

Billingsley also said he would publicly ask Levoyd Williams, the BBEO president, to resign from his city commission seat at Tuesday’s meeting.

“I intend to ask him to resign from the city commission. It would be the best thing he could do,” Billingsley said. “I think it’s now incumbent upon the state officials to act. You can’t take the public’s money, simply stonewall about giving a full and open accounting, and everyone knows this.”

Crist’s office did not immediately respond to calls and emails. Williams could not be reached for comment .

Billingsley said he wants an investigation into the BBEO’s fundraising activities in Lauderdale Lakes city hall, how the group spent money it solicited in the name of scholarships, and a forensic probe of the group’s financial records, including its tax returns, which contain numerous errors.

The latest revelations involving the BBEO follow continuing controversies that are increasingly affecting Lauderdale Lakes city hall, and putting the spotlight on how the city is being governed.

“I will put forth a motion for the entire commission to pass a resolution asking Gov. Charlie Crist to appoint an independent law enforcement agency to investigate the Broward Black Elected Officials,” Billingsley said. “This is to prevent the further erosion of the integrity of the city.’’

The controversy surrounding the BBEO’s finances now extends to the city’s accounting firm; Harvey, Covington, and Thomas of Hollywood, which may lose its contract with the city if commi ssioners who have doubts about the firm’s integrity decide they no longer want the company’s services.

Questions arose about the firm’s integrity after it prepared the BBEO’s 2005 and 2006 tax returns, which contained numerous errors, including conflicting information about how much money the group raised.

Billingsley said he might seek to have the company’s contract canceled at Tuesday’s workshop meeting, which takes place prior to the regular commission meeting.
Already, such a move appears to be gathering support.

“On the face, it appears that these auditors are in clear violation of their contract, and as a result, I’ve lost my confidence in their ability to give us objective financial advice and oversight,” Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner David Shomers said.

“At this point, why would we want to use them? As our accountant, he has to be neutral,” Mayor Sam Brown said.

Referring to Williams’ use of the city’s accounting firm to work for the B BEO, Brown said, “I think Levoyd is wrong, and Harvey should have told him, ‘No.’ ”

Brown would not say how he will vote on the firm’s contract.

Lauderdale Lakes commissioners Barrington Russell, Eric Haynes, Williams and Hazelle Rogers have not said whether they support terminating the contract.

As BBEO board members, Williams and Rogers may be precluded from voting on any matters that involve the group.

The city hired the accounting firm in 2004, engaging it for three years at $38,000 a year. In December 2006, commissioners extended the contract for two additional years. The contract provides for the city to pay the firm $53,000 for the fiscal year 2007 audit, and $55,000 in fiscal year 2008.

Elgin Jones will not let up because the evidence points to a very corrupt organization that A/ broke the law and B/ new that they were breaking the law C/ took advantage of people who thought they were contributing to an organization that was trying to help others in the community. This is just the tip of the iceberg. You can expect much more to come out when the investigations goes full throttle.

State attorney investigating Broward Black Elected Officials' finances
State investigating Broward Black Elected Officials

By Juan Ortega | South Florida Sun-Sentinel
December 1, 2007

The Broward State Attorney's Office is investigating whether anyone involved with the Broward Black Elected Officials, a nonprofit organization, has broken any laws.

The investigation comes after a controversy erupted this summer over how the group has kept track of its finances.

The case is being handled by Mike Horowitz, an attorney in the office's Special Prosecution Unit, which looks into public corruption and fraud cases, among others. A secretary at Horowitz's office said Horowitz was referring questions to Ron Ishoy, spokesman for the State Attorney's Office.

"We've been looking at this case for a couple weeks now," Ishoy said.

He declined to elaborate about what prompted the investigation, whether the group's finances were part of the investigation or whether a specific member was being investigated.

"If the state attorney wants to look into our books, we always welcome the opportunity to do better and share information," said Wilton Manors Commissioner Joe Angelo, a member of the Broward Black Elected Officials who said he recently became treasurer.

Janet Thompson is among Lauderdale Lakes residents who question whether the Broward Black Elected Officials group has operated legally. Residents also question whether the group has spent too much money on fundraising rather than student scholarships.

"It all came down to, 'Why don't they let us investigate?'" Thompson said. "To me, that leaves a doubt that they're trying to hide something."

The organization, formed more than a decade ago, began operating as a nonprofit group in 2005 to build leadership skills among elected officials in Broward County and raise scholarship money for students.

The group got taxpayer money at a time when its financial records weren't publicly available. Lauderdale Lakes records show the city during the past two years gave the group almost $12,000 for annual fundraising galas and membership dues.

"It's difficult enough for people to pay their taxes. And then suddenly you hear about thousands of dollars being given away," said Thompson, a Broward County judicial assistant who has lived in her Lauderdale Lakes condo for eight years. "It doesn't sit very well."

The unavailability of financial information prompted six Broward Black Elected Officials members to withdraw in protest in recent months. Among the six were four of the seven members on the Lauderdale Lakes City Commission, all of whom said they had participated little in the group.

City Attorney James Brady on Tuesday said he hasn't seen evidence that the organization has broken any law.

Lauderdale Lakes City Commissioner Levoyd Williams, president of the Broward Black Elected Officials, in October made publicly available financial forms that were filed past deadline with the Internal Revenue Service. The forms showed errors and unanswered questions on the forms, but nonprofit agency experts say that's common among a majority of nonprofit groups' IRS paperwork.

Williams, who has helped oversee the group's operations and spending, said Friday that no one from the State Attorney's Office has spoken with him.

"Every day I pray to God for my enemies. We know we've done nothing wrong," Williams said. "When I get contacted, we'll deal with it through lawyers."

Commissioner Barrington Russell, a former member of the Broward Black Elected Officials, said uncertainty about the group was part of the reason he proposed a new city law that aims to curb fraud. The ordinance, which was approved by the city Tuesday night and is now in effect, requires solicitors to provide more information about themselves and their intentions with city money.

"There has to be accountability," Russell said.

"It's difficult enough for people to pay their taxes. And then suddenly you hear about thousands of dollars being given away," said Thompson, a Broward County judicial assistant who has lived in her Lauderdale Lakes condo for eight years. "It doesn't sit very well."

The unavailability of financial information prompted six Broward Black Elected Officials members to withdraw in protest in recent months. Among the six were four of the seven members on the Lauderdale Lakes City Commission, all of whom said they had participated little in the group.

City Attorney James Brady on Tuesday said he hasn't seen evidence that the organization has broken any law.

Lauderdale Lakes City Commissioner Levoyd Williams, president of the Broward Black Elected Officials, in October made publicly available financial forms that were filed past deadline with the Internal Revenue Service. The forms showed errors and unanswered questions on the forms, but nonprofit agency experts say that's common among a majority of nonprofit groups' IRS paperwork.

Williams, who has helped oversee the group's operations and spending, said Friday that no one from the State Attorney's Office has spoken with him.

"Every day I pray to God for my enemies. We know we've done nothing wrong," Williams said. "When I get contacted, we'll deal with it through lawyers."

Commissioner Barrington Russell, a former member of the Broward Black Elected Officials, said uncertainty about the group was part of the reason he proposed a new city law that aims to curb fraud. The ordinance, which was approved by the city Tuesday night and is now in effect, requires solicitors to provide more information about themselves and their intentions with city money.

"There has to be accountability," Russell said.

I warned you all what was coming. Easy to sit back and play happy face and make happy posts but many skeletons will be surfacing. Good times bro's , good times. Than you Elgin to having the courage to bring corruption by goverment to the community they are elected to represent instead of lining all of their pockets.
First you need to learn how to write a complete sentence and to spell correctly......

investigating .........No one has been found quilty of anything.

Oh but they will. The resources devoted to this investigation will pay dividends and stop the corruption that this organization breds.

12-07-2007, 06:01 AM
Oh we must check out the latest NEW TIMES article. This group, is going down very quickly. Thank you Bob Norman for giving credit to ELGIN JONES.State Attorney has begun probe that will be handed off to the Fed's. Bend over Joe, it may be a little painfull. But for many those who have felt your thrusts in the back, we will enjoy it, you BACKSTABBER!

This investigation into this group will mushroom very quickly into a " win" for the feds, I believe, and not the Broward SAO because of the race issue. The feds will hammer the executive board before the next election in Nov 08 for political reasons and agendas that have been put in place that will not be stopped. The group will have to disband and face the music before March 08 again for political reasons under the urging of 3 candidates running for office.

Things will be heating up this week and next in regards to this investigation. Time for some to pay the fiddler for abuse of their positions and putting bling in certain pockets.

Remember the name of Elizabeth Tice. She will be going after this group and Joe Angelo and the whole group. I would not want to be in her sights. Brillant prosecutor on a national level targeting public corruption.

12-13-2007, 06:26 AM
Joe will face severe political debts. He is just a wannabe when many other people will run who have a much bigger stake in the city. Remember how he backed Nick Boyko last time and he got TRASHED in the city election. He backed a lighweight because he is one. Plus wait until the pool pictures become un -archived. He and a "boyko toy" pics will be the talk of the manors.

Rumor has it that the head of this organization was " invited" in and grilled by some very sharp SA's this past week. Could be getting very dangerous for some people.

Yea but it will trickle down to the officers of the organization. Can tell you how this will play out. The head or president of organization under investigation will be " invited" in to speak with a certain SAO assigned to Public Corruption. It will be a nice, nice meeting at first to get the investigation going. After that it will be brutal to the president, and whoever know's and is elected to carry out the by-law's of the organization and whoever signs the checks. This investigation of this organization has been hand delivered to the Broward SAO for political reasons. Elgin is good, very good when he put's his mind to it. The Broward SA has been under immense pressure to gain guilty verdicts against corrupt public officials and he can take down several in one strike. But I expect the Broward SA will score an initial knockout for media coverage but the case or investigation will given to the Fed's for prosecution. The Broward SA will gain some very positive exposure in a election year when he needs it and can hand it off to the Fed's if he wants not to alienate certain parts of the voting public. Either way the organization and officers can be written off pretty quickly.

Check out last weeks EXPRESS. JA resigned from the Broward County Human Rights Board. Article said it was due to time constraints. Hmmm. wonder what he will be doing with all his free time? Maybe he saved the Human Rights Board a lot of grief by leaving. Time will tell. Yes indeed.

Yes he did. All he cared about while he served was himself and his special interests. His attendance was poor. Besides he has a lot more to worry about with the investigation of his elected officials association.

Oh boy. Bad times coming ahead for Joe A. Have another drink with the City Manager before you go by by. And if any other person who screwed a person at the power company deserves to get in lockdown it is J A. Yes he does a race for pace but that does not make up for the misery he has caused for the good people he has stepped over to gain a supervisors position. Yo Joe, do not worry, because you may be seeing things in your back that you have put in the shoulder blades of others. You really are evil and do not deserve a position on city commission where you can judge or vote on the benefits of others. And if you think he is a MAYOR, think again, because he is PURE EVIL. Remember he is Philli Boy, and you know what credibility they have. Not much.

Jealous-No happy that he will be removed from public office if not elected and have no say in what benefits police and general employee's get who work for the city of wilton manors or as some would call it, male whore ville. He is well known as a liar and seems to get a little tipsy quite often. Is that what you want as a mayor but come to think of it that is what we have now. Hmmmm. we have quite the dilemma ?

Did anyone see the Sun Sentinel today ? Local section ? Seems that things are picking up steam and the rats are jumping ship. Will our cute little FP & L Joe A be next before the investigation is completed?

Wow. Saw Joe Angelo's pic in the Sunday Sun Sentinel. Word of warning to Joe A. Ease up on the botox to the lips. Those babies look like they will explode and hurt somebody when they blow.

That was not a good picture at all. Joe looks very "sheepish" and does not look like much of a leader. But ask yourself, was he really ever one or just a follower of Scotty who leads him around like a little trophy. Sometimes you just have to grow up and get a pair and not just lay back and take it Joe. But that is what you do at the power company so your elected position should be no different. Or should it?

Oh you must check out the latest edition of the Island City News. Our own Commissioner Joe Angelo is on the front page with a nice picture before he had the botox lips done. Seems the State Attorney investigation is really heating up on his organization and the lack of cooperation that was given to the local authorities. People need to read the earlier blogs that were posted about him. Time will tell that they were 100% on mark as to his participation in public corruption. And to think the unkonwn federal probe is moving at warpspeed. And his friendship with Mayor Scotty will not save him because he will cut him loose at any cost to save any hope of winning the District 92 seat which is falling fast. Hey Joe, what goes around comes around and no one deserves it more right between the shoulder blades to what you have done to employees at FP & L and the island city.

As a vendor in yesterday's flea market at Hagen Park, I can tell you the Island City magazine article was the talk of the town. And Kelly's mailing has not even reached every household yet. People in this community are wondering about him having any oversight authority within city goverment while this State Attorney investigation is ongoing.

The town manger is the city manager, Joseph Gallegos. He is a spineless so called pretend leader that all the city employees and most of the department leaders hate him with a passion. The Govenor, Charlie Crist will step in when joe angelo is charged with a felony. And if you moved from fire island, do not expect the services that the isle provided because this gay pretend city is going south fast, very fast.

What qualifies you to say Steve is self serving and trying a make a buck? And when you say allegations mean nothing, it would seem that every criminal investigation starts out with allegations made by a victim or witness, supported by evidence and is then investigated by the proper law enforcement authorities. And how do you know what is the truth or gossip in this forum. You can chose to believe what you think is gossip but it may be the truth. Let the readers decide before you impose your views on the body. Let the investigative process evolve.

What qualifies you to say Steve is self serving and trying a make a buck? And when you say allegations mean nothing, it would seem that every criminal investigation starts out with allegations made by a victim or witness, supported by evidence and is then investigated by the proper law enforcement authorities. And how do you know what is the truth or gossip in this forum. You can chose to believe what you think is gossip but it may be the truth. Let the readers decide before you impose your views on the body. Let the investigative process evolve.[/quote:41b2kr2u]

but its OK for Steve Kelly to impose his opinion??? Let me ask this? Are there more articles or ads in the Island City News?? In case you cant figure it out, its ads...what makes money? Ads..These are facts. Allegations can be made by anyone....the dictionary definds a alligation as "a statement by a party to a legal action of what the party undertakes to [b]prove [/b " nothing has been proven yet.

How can he evaluate the cities and communities financial needs and programs during the budget process when he apparently "cooks the books" for a organization with a much smaller budget and membership?

Can't the town manager suspend this angelo person from office while he is investigated for criminal offenses ? How does the town charter work. And does this angelo person sign any checks on behalf of the town? I would like to find out with what I pay for taxes being a new resident from fire island.

dont believe everything you read.........JA isnt personally being investigated, the organization is....no reason to suspend anyone, last I checked your innocent to proven guilty.

Thank God Steve Kelly had the stones to report the truth about Wilton Manors City Commissioner Joe Angelo and the reports about his public corruption. If anyone needs to be suspended from public office it is JOE ANGELO. He has knifed many co-workers in the shoulders blades as he hides under the rocks he finds. He is innocent for now but if you look inti his past the jury says-GUILTY AS CHARGED>

You have to wonder why there are no more ad's sponsored by the city of wilton manors in the Island City City New's. I have a sewing business which I want to promote in NE Fort Lauderdale. I called city hall after thanksgiving and they said the Island City News had more exposure than any other publication in wilton manors. So what is the problem with ad's by city resident's in his paper? So are city residents being told not to take out ad's in Kelley's paper? What's the deal.

Joe A has been telling people not to take out in the Island City News. Was done at a WMBA meeting and a commission meeting.

Elgin Jones, the person who had the stones to expose the PUBLIC CORRUPTION investigation involving Wilton Manors City Commissioner Joe Angelo is now a featured editor on NBC Channel 6. Hear that the investigation involving the black elected officials organization will be taken to a new level due to public outcry. Duh, see you Joe, and not a moment to soon. You have screwed many a hard working Wilton Manors General City Employee ( yea we cut grass, fix serwers and grate streets) to this day and it is your turn in the s... bucket you have created.

Never said that he or Elgin had inside information. Just that they had the guts to investigate and expose a corrupt Wilton Manors City Commissioner and report it to the population of Wilton Manors. Do not live in Ft Lauderdale but living and workin the good life in the Manors. :lol:

I read the article about Joe Angelo on the front page of the Island City News. I will defer to the professionals conducting the investigation into his or his organizations acts of misconduct. But what really disturbs me is the statement that he quit the Broward County Human Rights Board claiming he does not have time to support such a critical organization that safeguards our rights within Broward County. My God, if true what a statement that makes to the entire community of Broward County, regardless of your sexual orientation, race, sex, national origin or whatever makes you different. If he was elected or appointed to the Board, and that statement is true, the body that put him in that important position should be notifed asap to what has occurred. Are Board minutes available? If so they should be brought to the attention of the Broward County Commission and he be removed or stripped of any position of authority he holds within the county and as a council member in Wilton Manors.Then I am sure he will have plenty of "time" on his hands.

Rumor has it that he was under tremendous to resign and to do so quickly as to not embarrass the Broward County Human Rights Board when he was a member.Everybody knew the investigation of the BBEO was heating up in the media and a official investigation was forthcoming so he was really given the boot. The excuse of not having enough time to serve was a very poor and unprofessional reason to give when he left out the back door.

so apparently you think every politician, has to give up there own personal time to sit on a board???? Or else they should be striped of any other position??? are you for real???????you sound like a dumb ares to me...or you feel its better for someone to remain on a board and not give 100%????

I sure there is more than 1 person out there that sits on a board, so they can say they do....maybe if more people stepped down that dont give 100% we would be better off. Just a thought!

I would think the Human Rights Board is much better off without Joe Angelo if he did not give 100 % to the people of Broward County. But if you resign before your term is up, you basically quit on the people who appointed or elected you. What kind of message does that send to them when you still remain on other boards like the BBEO. It is kind of like your middle finger just went up to them.

If so they should be brought to the attention of the Broward County Commission and he be removed or stripped of any position of authority he holds within the county and as a council member in Wilton Manors.Then I am sure he will have plenty of "time" on his hands.

so apparently you think every politician, has to give up there own personal time to sit on a board???? Or else they should be striped of any other position??? are you for real???????you sound like a dumb ares to me...or you feel its better for someone to remain on a board and not give 100%????

I sure there is more than 1 person out there that sits on a board, so they can say they do....maybe if more people stepped down that dont give 100% we would be better off. Just a thought!

I would think the Human Rights Board is much better off without Joe Angelo if he did not give 100 % to the people of Broward County. But if you resign before your term is up, you basically quit on the people who appointed or elected you. What kind of message does that send to them when you still remain on other boards like the BBEO. It is kind of like your middle finger just went up to them.[/quote:1hqc86cv]

Why couldn't we be so lucky to have him quit his commission seat instead of quitting on the people of Broward County. The police department and city would be much better off.

[quote="Voting Enthusiast":248t8r2z]I read the article about Joe Angelo on the front page of the Island City News. I will defer to the professionals conducting the investigation into his or his organizations acts of misconduct. But what really disturbs me is the statement that he quit the Broward County Human Rights Board claiming he does not have time to support such a critical organization that safeguards our rights within Broward County.

This investigation is coming very close to issuing criminal complaints against the executive board of the BBEO including Joe Angelo and the ring leader L Williams. This group is going south very fast as it should. They never represented the community they thought they did but all had agenda's to move forward which some will do and some will not.

Joe Angelo is a pimp of a real politician. He will use every person he works with or represents to get ahead and will sell them out to the highest bidder. He threw many a FP & L subordinates under the bus in 2005 & 06 who helped get power back to several communities in broward county after the storms but JOE ANGELO had to take the credit with his bosses for the work other people did for restoration of electric service within the county. Yeh Joe, keep going to your " power" lunches while everybody else does your work.

Word is the criminal investigation regarding Joe Angelo and the BBEO is really gaining steam. Many a person that were or are connected to the organization are calling very high priced and connected attorneys to see how they can get out of this mess. The fat lady is starting to sing.

Yes we will. Someone who has very deep connections within 201 SE 6th Street. And someone with the initials JA will not be laughing both publicly and in private. Story makers write comic books and the fat lady is just starting her opening number. You go girl.

Hey Guardian,
You must really love LeoAffairs.com where you can post lies and spread misinformation all while hiding behind the anonymity of a blog that serves unhappy people like yourself. It allows you vent here, since no one else in this city will listen to you.

If Nick Boyko hates children so much why do I volunteer as a reading and math tutor? Why would I go out of my way to raise over $3,000 for supporting technology at WMES? Why would I go out of my way to support Kiwanis’ Kids Day. If I hate kids why do they flock to me during events like Santa’s Enchanted Evening along with their parents? I’m the one that pushes our organization to support functions and events that helps our kids, yes OUR kids. I'm the one that stood up to board members who wanted to cut stuff for kids while they argued "we don't have kids on the westside."

If you put as much effort into giving your time, talent and treasure to this community as you do *****ing and misleading people, imagine how much better off we would all be.

Since you’re such an authority on me then have the BALLS to sign your postings with your name like I did! I’d be happy to debate you at any public forum about just how much I support our kids in this city.

I heard the comments by Boyko and Angelo at Xmas and both should be ashamed to have any connection with the city of wilton manors. If you want to the promote the gay agenda do it, but do not involve children and families. We all know the agenda that the city manager, mayor and city commission has and every taxpayer should be in revolt. What they advertise as a diverse city is a gay dominated city that could care less about families. We had a city park named Colohatchee that got overun by perverts so they had to turn it into a dog park. What about arresting people who exposed their private parts. Not so.I guess that is not important to the police department and city commission.Newton is a sham as a mayor of a diverse city and would be a clueless state legislator. I was their on new years eve and his tactics on a oppnent with a education are despicable. But that is the mentality of a pea brained person.

Nick you dont need to defend yourself to these (pea brain) people. If you did say that night you wanted to go have a drink, so what...Did you use a mic. to announce it to the everyone??? If anything was overheard it was during a private conversation. People have no reason to judge you, maybe it had been a long day/week and you wanted to go relax..last I heard that isnt a crime. This is probably another person who just sits back and complains....As far as Im concerned, if they dont like what goes on in this city with the parks, police , city commission get the hell out.

I and my children are staying with my husbands cousin for 1 year while he finishes his tour in Iraq. I grew up in this city and played in mickel field. This city goverment and I imagine the police department should should be ashamed as to trying to track down persons who post their real name in a public blog. Who else would have access to public records than city officials. Being jewish, should I fear the wilton manors goverment gestapo or police will be get out to get me or my children. What has happend to public comment in this city. When you stiple free speech, you stiple freedom.

I heard the comments by Boyko and Angelo at Xmas and both should be ashamed to have any connection with the city of wilton manors. If you want to the promote the gay agenda do it, but do not involve children and families. We all know the agenda that the city manager, mayor and city commission has and every taxpayer should be in revolt. What they advertise as a diverse city is a gay dominated city that could care less about families. We had a city park named Colohatchee that got overun by perverts so they had to turn it into a dog park. What about arresting people who exposed their private parts. Not so.I guess that is not important to the police department and city commission.Newton is a sham as a mayor of a diverse city and would be a clueless state legislator. I was their on new years eve and his tactics on a oppnent with a education are despicable. But that is the mentality of a pea brained person.

Nick you dont need to defend yourself to these (pea brain) people. If you did say that night you wanted to go have a drink, so what...Did you use a mic. to announce it to the everyone??? If anything was overheard it was during a private conversation. People have no reason to judge you, maybe it had been a long day/week and you wanted to go relax..last I heard that isnt a crime. This is probably another person who just sits back and complains....As far as Im concerned, if they dont like what goes on in this city with the parks, police , city commission get the hell out. No one wants you in our fine city...go live somewhere that perfect...hummm,on second thought if you find it let us know :)

There is no Kathy Chamberlin in the city of wilton manors...just another person hiding behind a fake name with false information...Why you hiding?? If you believe what you say tell us who you are??

They have kept what the TRUE COSTS of the 6 million city hall complex from the CITIZENS who they lied to in order to get the bond issue passed. Now Paul and even the worthless CITY MANAGER agree it is over 7 MILLION DOLLARS without furniture. Now we are getting a generic building that does not even fit the Key West look we want to have. Listen to Ben little. The CITY COMMISSION, CITY MANAGER JOSEPH GALLEGOS and MAYOR SCOTT NEWTON have sold out this project because they sat on there fat arzez and did nothing as the price of this project balloned. Over 2 years and not one shovel in the ground. Paul K is 100% right!

Hmm. Nothing has happend to him? Why is he no longer the Chair of the Budget Review Committee. We all know that was his whole life. But after he wrote the front page article in the ISLAND CITY NEWS about how the CITY COMMISSION was going to BANKRUPT the CITY OF WILTON MANORS with the FAT POLICE CONTRACT AND PENSION suddenly he was given the boot after I would guess is 12 years at the helm. And what has happend to the wilton manors veterans memorial he championed for that is being discarded by the city manager, mayor and city commission. Seems that is now out of the plans when the new city hall complex is being built. And you wonder why people and employees in wilton manors are so afraid to speak up. Yo dude you need to open your eyes and see what this corrupt city administration has done to the morale of the general employees and to new citizens who wanted to help make a positive difference but now just want to retreat.

I and my children are staying with my husbands cousin for 1 year while he finishes his tour in Iraq. I grew up in this city and played in mickel field. This city goverment and I imagine the police department should should be ashamed as to trying to track down persons who post their real name in a public blog. Who else would have access to public records than city officials. Being jewish, should I fear the wilton manors goverment gestapo or police will be get out to get me or my children. What has happend to public comment in this city. When you stiple free speech, you stiple freedom.[/quote:wjy5yked]

My husband and children hope your husband is safe and thank him for serving his country. We cannot image what you and your family are going through in this tragic conflict.You are better off not posting or else you or members of your family will became a target of certain city elected or appointed officials.It is so.

Wow you guys are pretty mean-spirited. I decided to look here after a neighbor told me about it. If going out to have drink on a Friday were illegal I think we'd all be guilty!

I know Boyko. he's done a good job for the elementary school. My daughter's class was one of the classes that received the new computerized board as a result of his fund raising. I know he managed to get some businesses to pony up some money to help as well as people around the neighborhood.

There's a big need for people to help the school. I don't understand how tutoring math and reading and raising money promotes a 'gay agenda'. If a gay agenda means improving education levels and test scores, then go for it. If anything he's done more to help over there than alot of other people do.

think about it.

WHAT? So what you are saying is a "Gay Agenda" is in our school? Maybe you should just spend more time with your kids helping them with their work rather than let some agenda help educate them. That comment was just pathetic.

Nick and Rex are as VICIOUS as Joe Angelo and Eric. They HATE children are only interested in the GAY agenda. They all cater to children if it suits the GAY cause. If it does not, they could care less. And if somebody is interested , check out BOYKO'S personnel file as a MARINE CORP Training Contractor which he botched. He is a total failure ( cannot hold a job) yet he wants to represent the city of wilton manors . Yet he is embraced by RP as the city gay liason on channel 7 when they did the disasterous piece on the mass amount of public sex sex that is going on to this day in colohatchee park. Do a public records search of Nick Boyko and see what comes back. We at the WMPD HATE him and do not want him in our side or the buiding because he is a leach who attaches himself to whoever can accomplish his agenda, A very bad person. Vote for JF.

My God. Do the people of Wilton Manors know how dirty Joe Angelo and Nick Boyko are. Any family with children should stay far away from either of them. The XMAS statements showed the true colors of both of them. Keep them far away from good families.

why should we waste our money...just tell us what you found out, surely you can make up something.....or better yet cut and paste the info...but never fear I wont hold my breath...because this is just someone running for office who is concerned with the backing both of these fine men have in the city of WM....

Fine men. Both of them. Wow what a statement. Two guys who admitted in public that they hated children and were more concerned about getting their next drink. They both have checkered pasts especially in the employment area. A consultant for the Marine Corp. Please that is very interesting. And Angelo is hanging on by a thread in his latest endeavor. Hated by both people he works with and the general and police employees he represents. But at least Angelo is consistant. Hated by all.

Is Joe really as dumb as he acts. I recently saw him and heard him speak and was floored by how stupid he looked and sounded. How did he get elected?

Yes one focus of the State Attorneys Investigation has changed. Not only are they looking at public corruption by Joe Angelo and his organization but also that they diverted educational funds for private use. Not a good thing for this group. They keep digging themselves into a bigger hole.

This case is going to explode in the next two weeks. Botox Joe will have a lot of explaining to do when he is charged with 3 counts of public corruption. And to think that he thinks of himself as a city leader. LOSER

Remember the XMAS incident at Hagen Park. Joe Angelo and Nick "Boy"ko hate children . Thet were more concerned about getting the next drink to celebrate the night instead of doing the right thing and helping children who had no XMAS get a gift. They are very sorry and shallow individuals who only care about how they can move forward the personal agendas of each of them. Remember "Boy"ko has been terminated from every job he has held and Joe Angelo is not to far behind. What will happen if Joe Angelo gets charged with Public Corruption violations. Who appoints his replacement? Do a LN search on both of them.

Why are you so hung up on attempting to trash two men ....Are you afraid?? Planning on running for office against them??? Dont have the ability to win on your own?? Need to trash opponent?? One certainly thinks so....because nothing you say is true...And I dont know what Xmas event you went to, but it wasnt for Children who had no gifts...Dont worry your little head about a replacement for JA...WONT NEED ONE!!!

Lets just wait to see. Joe you should not be so sure. If your not in jail with big bubba (all thought you might like that) people are tired of your crap. Do you think they will elect someone that has been under investigation? You and Nick can write all you want on these threads, to try to make it look like nothing has happened but people are not as stupid as you think they are.

Yes let's see who is right. Joe Angelo and Nick Boyko have been scammin the citizens for many years. People need to see that Angelo is under state investigation for public corruption and people need to research Boyko's resume that he submitted for appoitment on numerous city boards. Several highly qualified candidates will be filing and running for commission seats this and the public really needs to be informed to make an ETHICAL choice.

05-25-2008, 05:13 AM
Everybody knows Joe Angelo will be crushed by Resnick if he runs for mayor. And if Joe Angelo quits his run for mayor as he usally does when he is challenged or faces a problem, Zollo will kick his butt for city commission.

Great post. Do not underestimat Flippen. Got a lot of supporters and gaining momentum while Angelo is losing it along with a lot of supporters. He is trying to make up lost ground among the employees but we are much to smart to by the smile. A wolf in sheeps clothing is a great description of Joe Angelo.

06-01-2008, 07:00 AM
Most of this group should be in state and federal pens by the end of the year. And Joe Angelo is so under state investigation for public corruption and mis-use of public funds. See ya Joe. You screwed so many FP &L and general employees to fuel your own ambitions that when they say but your hands behind your back we hope the WM COPS are at scene to put the cuffs on. People need to realize that there are many more qualified people running for city election than this fraud of a public official.

Remember Joe Angelo is nothing more than a city CARPET BAGGER. He trolls for what will get him ahead and will use people to get him ahead and then discard them like trash when he is done, Is this the erson you would like as a friend, neighbor or my GOD, as a MAYOR. He needs to go away as the city grows. JOE ANGELO IS bad for business. Big Time.

Great Post. HE HAS DONE NOTHING FOR THE NW HOMEOWNERS.LOOK AT THE CRIME INCREASE IN THE AREA THAT JOE ANGELO LIVES IN. TALKS A GOOD GAME BUT DOES NOT DELIVER. THIS CITY NEEDS A WHOLE N EW DIRECTION OF CITY GOVERMENT. NOW WE ARE SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS OVER BUDGET ON A NEW CITY HALL. THE TAXPAYERS VOTED ON A 6 MILLION DOLLAR COMPLEX. IF ONE MORE PENNEY IS SPENT, EVERY COMMISSIONER AND MAYOR SHOULD BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE.

so, tell me...how does a commissioner control crime?? Do you think he wants crime in his area....??? City govt. is not to blame for every problem you have...get over it and get involved yourself. Why dont YOU start a crime watch if there is a problem in your area....I think not , you just wanta ***** instead of do something...people like YOU are the problem.

Great posts. I actually called the police chief 6 weeks ago ( 4/27)to see if the crime watch sign I requested the wmpd put up in march of 04 could be replaced due to the sign being weathered and hard to read. In 04 the sign was put up within 4 days of my wife asking for it. I am still awaiting a return phone call from the police chief. One of the police officers who works radar on NW 29 st. at nw 3 ave says the wmpd has shifted away community policing to being a reactive force due to severe manpower shortages and the commission changing the officers pension to the state. If that is the case I think the voters need to change the makeup of the city commission, mayor and review the lack of performance of the city manager who lives in our neighborhood.

06-08-2008, 05:08 AM
Hmm. Is Joe A leaving the Island City and moving up to Beantown. As usual he is a quitter when facing any type of pressure. LEADERS step up, QUITTERS step back. He always talked a good game but he will not be standing up at the end. The city goverment of Wilton Manors will be stronger and better lead with him and Scott Newton given the boot from Wilton Manors. Neither Newtons or Angelos brains were considered the sharpest knives in the cupboard during their horrible tenures.

JA should take that nut job Nick B with him. Guess he didn't like what Steve Kelly was writing so he started to write his own column. He put Tom Cruise in it. What a jerk. I see Celeste is part of it too. We need to keep all these Newton buddies out of office. The group of them have been planning this for a long time to keep control of the city when Newton leaves. Lets get the people out that have been part of destroying our city.

Respected...??? now thats funny. Anyone with a brain can see that SK has a personal agenda. This article had no new info. just the same rabblings as before., WHY?? because this investion is over...and SK is still trying to pound it into the ground.

You're praising the same guy that took your police contract, your employees by name, and your photographs. Then he published exactly how much money each one of you made. Then he trashed your professionalism and said anyone can earn over $100K in salary, OT, benefits & get a car all with nothing more than a HighSchool diploma.

You guys have a really short memory! really short!

Think back to the contract negociations. The city manager, mayor and each city commissioner trashed all of us equally. So you are right. Each of us should not have a short memory. Remember what Scott Newton, Joe Angelo, Joseph Gallegos and the rest of the commission said about us in conjunction with Ezzrol as we "negociated". We all got trashed either by the city side or the press. And do not forget little miss Brenda of our pension board. Yea she is really looking out for the employees best interests. NOT..... She is pure evil but may have more free time now that a certain captain is making cheese.

You're praising the same guy that took your police contract, your employees by name, and your photographs. Then he published exactly how much money each one of you made. Then he trashed your professionalism and said anyone can earn over $100K in salary, OT, benefits & get a car all with nothing more than a HighSchool diploma.

You guys have a really short memory! really short!

Think back to the contract negociations. The city manager, mayor and each city commissioner trashed all of us equally. So you are right. Each of us should not have a short memory. Remember what Scott Newton, Joe Angelo, Joseph Gallegos and the rest of the commission said about us in conjunction with Ezzrol as we "negociated". We all got trashed either by the city side or the press. And do not forget little miss Brenda of our pension board. Yea she is really looking out for the employees best interests. NOT..... She is pure evil but may have more free time now that a certain captain is making cheese.

I do remember when the PBA sent out all the lies in the mail with the commissions home phone # listed. Boy did that back fire on you...lol...Pissed off the citizen big time..and they lost all faith in the PD., and the bond issue passed BIG time. WE REMEMBER VERY WELL!!
Got our contract though, didnt we LOL LOL LOL :P[/quote:2fj5tcer]

yea and maybe you would have gotten more if you werent jerks...youll never know, lol lololo

Anyway Joe Angelo says he's not running for office (YEAH) And that he thanks the City Manager and the Employees of Wilton Manors for their dedication and hard work. What a joke he hated them and they hated him. Then he states to be sure to look for reliable information and updates in the only local news sources he trusts. What a fool- he is the one you can not trust. Why would anyone care what he thinks? Especially being involved in something that is being investigated by THe States Attorney's Office. Go back to PA.

No he's going to beantown MA to hide for a while. Can't take the heat and what will come down as his being Treasurer of the BEOO ( jail time ?) along with run huge cost overuns on the new city hall/pd complex. But everyone from the city manager,mayor and commissioners are going the pay for the costs or the building and not getting input from the public. And taxpayers better be checking that no PUBIC MONEY be used for his trip up to HARVARD. Seems to me last time the city manager, Joseph Gallegos okayed and signed off on the city taxpayers paying for his airline tickets for a private trip. SHAME ON YOU Mr G :!:

HMM. Last time he traveled to HARVARD was it on a city dime for a private purpose? Seems Joe A has been cheating taxpayers for quite a long time. And if he did do a public trip on a private dime, isn"t that a misdemeanor. ATTENTION Mr District Attorney with the City Managers ( JOSEPH GALLEGOS) signature on the city travel documents?

Got to love the latest edition of the well respected ISLAND CITY NEWS. Got Joe Angelo in the headlines once again on how he is focus of a public corruption investigation by the Broward District Attorney. Thank you Steve Kelly for letting the citizens informed on what is going on in the community.
Just read the Manors Matters (the paper that has popped up because of Steve Kelly). Anyway Joe Angelo says he's not running for office (YEAH) And that he thanks the City Manager and the Employees of Wilton Manors for their dedication and hard work. What a joke he hated them and they hated him. Then he states to be sure to look for reliable information and updates in the only local news sources he trusts. What a fool- he is the one you can not trust. Why would anyone care what he thinks? Especially being involved in something that is being investigated by THe States Attorney's Office. Go back to PA.

are you really that stupid??? If he was in any trouble do you think he would be allowed to leave the state...or be accepted to Harvard?? Dont think so......[/quote:6v5d1n9u]

HMM. Last time he traveled to HARVARD was it on a city dime for a private purpose? Seems Joe A has been cheating taxpayers for quite a long time. And if he did do a public trip on a private dime, isn"t that a misdemeanor. ATTENTION Mr District Attorney with the City Managers ( JOSEPH GALLEGOS) signature on the city travel documents?[/quote:6v5d1n9u]

Seems Joe A will be gone at the end of July. The City Employees will have a party soon afterword. Don't let the door hit you in your arse, you carpetbagger from Philly. Go back to where you came from. So lets see what his/her replacement will offer to the general employees. Any more to the cops? How much more can they get from the city manager and Brenda. Seems that they are force fed benefits while the rest of us have to pay more for benefits and gas.Could Joe A replacement be Celleste Ellich ? If it is, seems that there could be some major sunshine law violations that are out in the mix, Mr Broward County District Attorney. Could it be payback as she lives next door to Newton and Galatis and did all the work for Joe A for the Pace Race? Time will tell. And she hates Resnick.

Last time I checked, the commission works for the citizens of WM, not the general employees.

See you Joe Angelo. You were a waist as a city council person then city commissioner. You bragged a lot but as we all knew you are just a carpetbagger passing thru wilton manors. Thank you gary resnick for helping to get rid of this sack of S*** that NEVER deserved to have a voice in the city goverment of wilton manors.. Angelo fooled a lot of good city workers but in the end stabbed them in the back and twisted the blade. But do not worry, he will be followed to HARVARD and be dealt with. This post has allready been forwarded to people in mass that will deal with him. And who will Eric be doing...................................

07-11-2008, 05:32 AM
As of 7/22/08 we can all be very thankfull that we will all be rid of Joe Angelo. Remember all of the posts where he said he would be in the mayors race inclusive of him being investigated by the district attorney for public corruption. Hey Joe, we all know that you used many a person to get elected but you could not handle the position and you betrayed many a honest taxpayer who trusted you. Thank god you are leaving wilton manors. It will be a much better place with you gone. And don't forget to take eric with you. He is pretty much useless as a city resident. Joe Angelo will always be remembered as a quitter who could not face the public when things could not go his way. The employees of the city probably will be much better off with him off of the council.See ya LOSER !

Finally the sun-sentinel writes an article telling the truth to the citizen's of Wilton Manors regarding Joe A. departure. Steve Kelly is nothing but a slime ball writing articles for his own agenda. I for one will never trust what he writes in his Island City News. It should be called WM Inquire.

Actually Steve began the whole " Joe Angelo" scapegoat exit by reporting the truth. The Sun Sentinel article actually did a dis-service to the residents of wilton manors by not reporting that he ( JOE ANGELO) is under criminal investigation by the district attorney of fort lauderdale and that is why he has to leave town in a extreme hurry leaving his buddy eric behind. Elgin Jones or the South Florida Times should win a journalistic award for exposing the corrupt Joe Angelo. The city he lived and corrupted in as a carpetbagger will be a much better place to live in with him GONE. Remember all the posts about Joe Angelo standing up with the Mayors race over, well guess what, he is crawling out of Wilton Manors like the piece of C*** he is because that is what cowards do. Yea, he really did a lot for the employees. Question is, will they appoint his buddy, Cellesite E to fill his position or the "boy"ko toy. Guess Joe could not face some pics being released. That okay Joe, you were figured out as a two faced politician a long time ago so on 7/22 a lot of us will celebrate but feel bad that HARVARD will get a imposter to fill a vacancy that could really be a benefit to a institution or business.

Not Really. It is kind of fun when you expose a fraud and their is no bigger one than Joe Angelo. The city will be a much better place when he is gone which will be very shortly. Joe is nothing more than a political hack or whore which tells you he had no base for the future. He quit when the time got tough but history always repeats itself so you know he had no chance at mayor. Remember all the posts that he would be their at the end when the votes are counted, well you know what , he will be hiding out in Massachusetts ,absent as usual, not man enough to finish out his term as he was voted to. What a piece of scum. You really need to leave the city. The employees need people who have direction, not ones who lie and cheat to get a step ahead. Your putrid scent will not be forgotten.

Come on now. Everybody in city hall and the pd know why JOE ANGELO quit on the taxpayers and the people who supported him for election by resigning in disgrace prior to his term ending. For starters he is going to be under charged with public corruption in the black elected officials probe. Huge embarassment to the city so he needs to bail out right quick. Second he and brandon are going to MASSACHUSETTS to get legally MARRIED. Nick Boyko is the bridesmaid and Scott Newton is the ring bearer. Rumor also has it that Joe Angelo will be the one wearing the dress at the alter. But who will catch the bouquet is the 64 thousand $ question?

Maybe JOE ANGELO quit and ran out of Wilton Manors with his tail between his legs because of the Ann Barnes situation. Could not take the press so he takes the easy way out. Typical of botox Joe.

Prosecutor says Broward group's fundraising galas DIDN'T violate law
By Juan Ortega | South Florida Sun-Sentinel
August 22, 2008
The Broward State Attorney's Office said Thursday that it has closed its investigation into the finances of the nonprofit Broward Black Elected Officials.

The inquiry showed the group spent most of its money on fundraising galas, rather than scholarships, a concern that Lauderdale Lakes residents raised last year when they called for an accounting. The dispute prompted six officials of the group, including four Lauderdale Lakes commissioners, to withdraw in protest.

Mike Horowitz, the attorney who handled the case for the office's Special Prosecution Unit, said no laws were broken.

"How money is raised and spent by the BBEO is a decision left to the organization," Horowitz wrote in a memo about the investigation.



Lauderdale Lakes Commissioner Levoyd Williams, the group's former president, acknowledged past gala expenses were high, but said the spending was necessary to attract donations.

"We knew we were innocent to begin with," he said.

After the spending controversy surfaced last year, the State Attorney's Office subpoenaed the nonprofit group's financial records and hired forensic accountants to review them, Horowitz wrote in the memo.

The group seeks to foster leadership skills among elected officials and to raise scholarship money for high school and college students. Formed more than a decade ago, it began operating as a nonprofit organization in 2005 and has since held at least three fundraising galas.

Of $373,000 the group raised between 2005 and March, 4 percent, or $15,000, was given in scholarship money to Bethune Cookman College, Florida A&M University and Florida Memorial University, according to a list of expenses compiled by the accountants for the State Attorney's Office.

The list didn't detail what payees did for the money, but apparently most of the remaining money went to entertainment groups that helped present the galas.

Williams said the nonprofit group has raised more scholarship money since March.
