The Hallandale Beach Commission may have been the best free show in Broward until this week.
Commissioners bickered their way through meetings with bombast and bluster. It was laughable and, after all, the staff managed to hold City Hall together.
Hallandale Beach government was a great show….until this week.
The feuding Commission clowns are not so funny anymore.
They have now put themselves and city residents in a box they created:
Pending fiscal disaster!
A deadlock has prevented commissioners from passing a required budget for next year.
If the budget isn’t passed soon — like next week — the city will be unable to collect property taxes.
Talk about a mess.
Blame commissioners, who are more interested in scoring points over opponents than policy!
The consequences of no budget agreement by commissioners are explained in a 12-page September 22 memo written by City Manager Roger Carlton and obtained by Browardbeat.com.
