The Broward County Police Benevolent Association’s insulting questionnaire below is why most endorsements mean very little.
Here’s a little history:
Less than one year ago, the PBA lost its right to represent more than 1,400 road patrol deputies and sergeants at the Broward Sheriff’s Office. An affliliate of the International Union of Police Associations – part of the AFL-CIO, which the PBA is not – beat the group in an election.
Because the sheriff’s office was the biggest portion of the PBA, the result of losing all those BSO members has been less income in dues and less clout in politics and government.
Apparently seeking to strike back at Sheriff Scott Israel, the PBA sent him an endorsement survey that was essentially a diatribe about the way he runs BSO.
Scott fired back. He took to Facebook to explain to his deputies why he would not participate in the survey.
