The opening of the Broward County’s new courthouse has been delayed again and one of construction snafus involves the wrong seal hung behind the judge’s benches.
The seal of Broward County was installed in the new building.
The court system is a branch of state government, not the county.
The $262.4 million courthouse tower was supposed to open in the summer of 2015.
It is still uncompleted due to snags with the utilities hookups, difficulties completing a elevated pedestrian walkway, many changes the judges requested and now the seals
And now the wrong seals.
Chief Judge Peter Weinstein confirmed the mistake and said he has demanded they be corrected before the judges move into the building.
“We are a separate but equal branch of state government and not part of the county,” Weinstein told Browardbeat.com. “I told them to replace all those seals or I will have to order seals of the State of Florida and paste it over the Broward seals.”
One source told Browardbeat.com that not only was the wrong seal installed, but the seal misspelled “Broward.”
