But there's also a parallel universe of "Special Rules for Special People" for pols like Holness, and he thinks it entitles him to egregiously violate those rules, laws and Executive Orders whenever he wants, and nobody in the #SoFL news media or #Broward Business Establishment can say anything about it. Or else, they'll see what the sharp-edges of Broward's #IdentityPolitics are really like!
Yes, Holness has certainly milked and gamed the sytem for everything it's worth, personally and professionally. Today's blog post serves as a reminder of the awful extant system we have here, as well as highlighting just some of the latest examples of him taking advantage and garnering no public criticism outside of the blogosphere.
As is usually the case in South Florida, the legacy news media won't be interested in any of this until someone is attacked, shot, murdered, arrested, or some serious dollar amounts are involved.
Under Broward Country's ridiculous political system of government, where the public at large does NOT actually vote for the county mayor, as is done in Miami-Dade County and the vast majority of Florida's 67 counties, but rather has to sit on the sidelines and watch on helplessly as the nine county commissioners play political charades -and kingmaker- and play pin-the-tail-on-the-mayor, giving Florida's third-largest county an unelected mayor of the people, it's literally the worst of all possible worlds, because it means that no one is held personally accountable for failed efforts, policies, and experiments.
Instead, it's always "the bureaucracy," isn't it?
"The system."
A readly-made excuse is always available 24/7/365.
That's damn convenient.
I've written very often in this space over the years how, in my opinion, as well as many other civic activists and reform-oriented voters, this misanthropic, anti-democratic anachronism effectively prevents the county from doing most things better and more forcefully, not least, to name two examples, moving forward and presenting a more positive, coherent, and coordinated image to out-of-state businesses and potential residents who might be interested in moving here.

In so-called interview, Holness practically dares reporters to look at him cross-eyed or press him for consciously refusing to answer their questions with anything remotely resembling either logic or common sense.
Looks like someone needs to be calling that DOJ fraud phone number pretty soon!
You have to give it to Broward Mayor Dale Holness, one of the chief architects and beneficiaries of the latest version of the county's still-active pay-to-play political system.
Broward has a spoils system that rewards cronyism and the status quo and keeps some highly-questionable people of dubious competency and ethics firnly in office for many years but never quite... well, holds them responsible for the self-evident lack of any tangible success in so many important areas as most Broward residents do and would expect.

That's because having a countywide-elected Mayor would mean that at least one public official is held responsible not just by those people, but by established residents and business people as well.
But if you know going in that the county plays musical chairs with who's actually responsible, and changes every year, where's the certainty and predictability?
Forcing one countywide-elected individual to offer a larger vision of Broward County instead of merely having 8 of the 9 cobbling together a shopping lists of pet causes and projects to be funded in their commission district, would make a tremendous diffence in how things are perceived here.
But naturally, for insiders like Holness, change means danger and loss of control over the purse strings and puppet strings on N. Andrews Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, where the Broward govt. HQ is located.
Our Broward "brain trust"!😬

It's hard to think of an elected official in Broward County over the past twenty years who has so continually, consistently, and egregiously walked up to the line of what is and isn't legal or morally acceptable by either state or Broward laws, ethics rules, ordinances, or so-called Executive Orders -and then so brazenly stepped over the line and dared anyone in authority to actually do anything about it, whether in denouncing him and calling him out publicly, or someone in law enforcement actually enforcing the written law and holding him legally and personally accountable for what he is actually DOING.
No, that has never been a concern of Dale Holness and his acolytes.
Holness and his Caribbean political mafia continue to show everyone that in Broward there remains two kinds of laws and rules that must be followed, and he makes clear thru his words and actions that he believes he is one of the select folks in our midst who gets to live in the Special Rules for Special People Lane, even while you and I must make do with following the laws of this state and county in the other lane, lest we get cited, fined or arrested, no matter how ridiculous the law.
But Holness gets to ignore those laws and rules and protocols whenever he chooses because he knows that the Broward business establishment and Broward Democratic Party are content to just cower in the dark from the corner of the room and look the other way as he does whatever he likes, lest he rouse his loyal cadres in Lauderhill and other central Broward locales against them and redeploy the race card against them.
Oh, how he loves the race card and the sharp edged instrument that is #IdentityPolitics
It's equally true with the South Florida news media. He really does love playing them for fools, too. That much is apparent from watching him in action.
In so-called interview, Holness practically dares reporters to look at him cross-eyed or press him for consciously refusing to answer their questions with anything remotely resembling either logic or common sense.
Instead he trots out his banal blatherings that fall flat in the Persuasion Dept.
He is completely unpersuasive. Shockingly so.
But the thing is, at this point, he doesn't care about making the reporters happy or appearing to TV viewers at home to be unworthy of his job and its many perks and benefits.
He merely sees reporters as a means to an end to advance himself and his causes.
That's it.
That's it.
Before you read the tweets below, many by Tom Lauder of Red Broward, which I've arranged in reverse-chronological order, ask yourself these questions:
How come none of these interesting stories about the unelected mayor of the third-largest county in the state, never once saw a second of airtime on any of the four English-language TV stations in South Florida?
How come none of them rates any air time on local NPR radio affiliate, WLRN-FM, which continues to use its monopoly power on radio to continually underserve Broward County residents?
And of course -surprise!- there's nothing about any of these stories or the facts in the Miami Herald or the South Florida Sun-Sentinel?
Or, better yet, their Editorial Boards?
Yes, how exactly does that keep happening, year-after-year?
That is a serious journalistic intent to ignore what is taking place right in front of everyone by this party hack and unelected mayor.
