Above, Hallandale Beach City Hall Complex on S. Federal Highway/U.S.-1, where attention to details and appearances has never been their strong suit in the nine years I've lived here, since returning to South Florida after 15 years in the Washington, D.C. area. Thanks to the city's incompetent, myopic and poorly-managed DPW, the spotlights seen above in 2011 on the city's monument sign, at the corner of U.S.-1 & S.E. 5th St., have NOT worked since June of 2012. Which is to say that they have NOT worked since City Manager Renee C. Miller has been in place. But attention to details and appearances really DO matter when you are a government, and the situation with the lights is but the tip of the iceberg. The city's log of Visitors & Lobbyists, which is required by law to be up-to-date, was TWO MONTHS old as of last Friday. Really. August 7, 2011 photo by South Beach Hoosier.

Now we need to see some logical follow-up in the way of prosecution.
Please be advised that the report can take up to a minute to open due to the many exhibits.
It took 55 seconds for me.
As a public employee, the most telling item to me is $1,474,739 in payments for "socially beneficial programs". This is how our cronies throw money back and forth. They operate with impunity because there is no follow-up and no accountability. Many of these "programs" never came to fruition, but the organizers got their payment. Trust me.
