Chaz Stevens Continues to Spew B.S. for City of Deerfield Beach Officials in Futile Attempts to Discredit Citizens

Well, apparently I have made the City's radar again and they processed a request through Chaz Stevens to run afoul of any citizen trying to ensure that we have a transparent City government.  According to Chaz in a recent post entilted, "PedoCody" I am lying about submitting a public records request to the city questioning the pay raises.


So to Chaz and you City folks what is this??? (see below)

Good Morning,
I heard a rumor that upper management either received or will receive pay raises.  Can you please advise if this is true?
If it is true can you please provide a list of the individuals that received or will receive the pay raises and the amounts?

Oh, is that the right question?  


Citizens don't work for the City, so if we don't know the specific report title, file name or list, why does the City consistently hold us to the standard of knowing it.  Yes, that is right!  See the above question, which to any normal person would know what we are requesting, the City will probably want you to know the file name or report name to fulfill this request.


I have an opinion on that and that is because they don't want us to have the information, even though the law compels them to be forthcoming with it.  It's ashame that the law has to compel our government to be responsive and accountable to the residents and citizens that they have sworn to protect.


 Anyway, just in case you don't believe this was sent I had also forwarded this to my Commissioner, Ben Preston.

Good morning Commissioner Preston,
I emailed Burgess and realized that I should have included you on the email.
I heard a rumor that the City handed out hefty pay raises this week to upper management.  Can you please confirm if this information is true.  If the City is broke and needs this utility tax how can we afford to not only pay upper managements salaries, but now a pay increase??/?

To which he responded the following:

Hi David,When Burgess returns I will ask him about this. Hope all is well. B Preston

*This public records request went directly to the man who authorized the pay raises, Burgess Hanson, and an elected official, District 2 City Commissioner Ben Preston, so for the City (Ada Graham, City Clerk) to say that "NO" request was submitted is ludicrous and I am not talking about the rapper.

So, somebody is continuously lying and obviously it's not me because a request was sent to two (not just one, but two) high ranking City officials regarding this matter and neither has responded and apparently the City Manager never forwarded the request or answer down to Ada,  since he himself seems to be unresponsive to residents request even though they continuously tell residents to contact them and that they always respond.  Well, I haven't gotten a response from either.  

So, basically when Chaz opens his mouth, just like the Commissioners, all that spews out is brain farts because it's always B.S and I for one am very tired of it.

So, with that I am including these emails with my complaint to the SAO and the Broward Inspector General so that someone can look into the City for the same mis-management that Chaz and the Mayor is saying occured at the DBHA.  Between the two, CODB and DBHA I don't know which situation is worse.  

I do know I receive all the information and more that I request from the DBHA.  The City, well not so much.

I have seen the blatant lying and spinning of information that the City has done and then has it's acolytes:

Sally Potter (if you hadn't read the latest Observer or heard her speak at Commission meetings) who I personally adore and even celebrate her being on the DBHA Commission, 

Joan Maurice aka Ganz Gremlin, well need I really say more-this woman thinks it's none of the residents business to question how the City spends our money (a sentiment she openly stated at the Sept 20, 2011 City Commission Meeting).  

Chaz Stevens aka "The Genius"- Well, if you read any of the 29 out of 214 post related to him on this blog then you already know his story, so there is not much more truth that can be put out there about him.  No matter how he spins the story, court records don't lie but obviously he and his pals at the City do.

There are many others out there and one of these days I will go to JB's during Happy Hour to see who they are, pictures WILL follow...

So, with all that said all that is left to say is:

The residents are not stupid and the residents are tired of being dicked around by Chaz Stevens, the City Commissioners, and the City Staff and so they in an uproar and walk out of City Commission Meetings, not because they don't understand or don't have the facts.  Just the opposite they have the facts and do truly understand and are fed up of being consistently lied to, cheated, blamed, lambasted, and then ignored by the very people we go to the polls to elect.  

We are outraged!!!  We are appalled at the behaviour of our Commissioners and that hatred has spilled over out into the general audience as they learn and become aware of "truths", not just rumor, conjecture, and spin, as it comes from the City and its people. 

If you pay close attention you will notice that it is only a reflection of the attitude and contention of our elected officials for everyone except themselves and the few acolytes, gremlins, cronies, and neophytes that march with them reaping the benefits of this gross mismanagement of our once fair City.

With each meeting a new person and a new group awakens to the truth so many of us have already seen and mention at the meetings.  I once "thanked" the City Manager and Commissioners for doing what they are doing because even early on I knew that people would see the hypocrisy and mis-dealings and revolt and many have and many more to come.  The City, well the residents are working together, unfortunately, we have been forced to work against the City Commissioners and City Staff, so that we the residents can take back control from these Oligarchs and bring democracy back to Deerfield Beach before they morally, financially, and physically bankrupt our once fair City.

BTW,  Chaz- John Grassi clue was never lost, he even used it to find the "Answer", which is to call for a full investigation into the City of Deerfield Beach City Management and City Clerks Office, he unfortunately left out Peggy and Crew, but for now that will bring some respite to the residents once the City Manager and Staff are held accountable to the residents that they continuously attempt to maneuver around and screw out of tax dollars.
