The Deerfield Beach City Commission will explore creating an ethics code and will appoint individuals to fill vacancies created by two elected officials' arrests.CLICK HERE FOR ARTICLE
Our city Commission is meeting on January 28th at 5:30 in order to discuss ethics reform. This is something sorely needed. Just because Commissioner Lowe only admits to a "mistake," the Florida Elections Commission says otherwise.
Several administrators in our County have gone to prison. Some have had to pay stiff fines. Some have gotten away with corruption for years and just have not been caught. Sometimes it starts innocently by accepting that free lunch. And it just gets easier the second time, then the third time, etc. Abuse of power comes in all degrees. It is often times very difficult to prove. This time is was proved without a doubt.
The citizens deserve better than a corrupt official. We already have a tough time believing in politicians and Ms. Lowe's actions certainly do not instill confidence in elected officials. Laws were broken here and it was proved. For us to put up with this is just plain stoooooooooooopid.
Sorry Ms. Lowe, but it's time to Go!
