The financial numbers are in. The Broward PBA has taken in half in dues in 2016 compared to 2015. However, the salaries remain the same at the PBA. Marano is still taking $54,000 from your dues while holding the title as the leader who lost BSO. Rod Skirvin took $13,000 in dues money as a salary. To do what we may never know. Ace lawyer Gonzalez who expects you to give up on your case gets $78,000. Staff is being let go and the smoke a the PBA is getting thicker. Hollywood negotiations are a mess and Pines is out of contract since 2015 but as long as the dues money keeps coming in and the leadership of the PBA gets paid, who cares right? How much money was wasted on billboards that only pissed off city officials in both Hollywood and Pines? What was the return on that investment? A personal grudge between the PBA and certain leaders was fueled and the only people who suffer from this petty personal battle is the everyday police officer. Keep paying the dues to stock the Downtown Cigar bar where Marano smokes for free and you must pay. Keep paying for the daily lunches at Slackers and Anthonys Pizza. Keep paying for the Lexus car leases for the staff. Keep paying for the golf course membership of Marano and the Boat club membership.
