This was left as a comment by cousweb, but we felt that this was important and should be brought to the Front Page...
You'll have another chance to watch the City Council at work with our money on Wednesday, February 10th. The Community Redevelopment Agency (Still our money) is purchasing vacant land on Peters Road for $385,000. We were previously told that this would be bought with CBG funds, but we will never really know. It is supposed to be for a park. Do we really need another park? The contract is interesting. The seller is not paying the documentary stamps on the deed in the amount of $2,695 - why not? This is a standard seller charge. It also states that the "City Attorney may make minor changes to this Agreement as deemed necessary and appropriate. The City Administration and City Attorney are authorized to do all things necessary to close the real estate transaction hereby approved." Another example of the city attorney acting as a member of city council. Why does Council continue to give him (and the mayor) carte blanche? Of course, he will write title, for which he gets a fee, and he will still bill the city for the transaction, an example of double dipping. Also, if you check the state's website you will find that the realtor is on probation for failure to prepare escrow reports and deposit escrow funds in a timely manner. Does the city ever do a transaction that doesn't have a black eye?

Our Taxes to Increase Again |

Did you feel it? Was it at all painful?
While you were at work Tuesday, your taxes went up again. No, it was not the city taxes this time, these only get raised in October. This time it was the Broward County Commission. The Plantation Journal reported in 2009, after the Plantation City Council voted to raise our taxes again, that it was still possible for other agencies, with the authority to levy taxes, to come back for more of our money. Well it has happened! In comes the Broward County Commission, led by Mayor Ken Keechl, and five others (Ritter, Lieberman, Jones, Jacobs and Wasserman-Rubin), who voted to raise our taxes to build a new courthouse. This is the same courthouse that the voters of Broward County rejected with a LOUD 70% vote of NO. The entire cost of this project is $328 million, and this is of course before the myriad of problems which can occur.

On Sunday morning, February 14th at 10:00AM, in honor of the very non-Jewish, Hallmark holiday of "Valentine's Day", Rabbi Andrew will be renewing the wedding vows of any of our members.
All couples who renew their vows will receive a beautiful certificate prepared by Rabbi Andrew. In addition, all couples are invited to a post-vow-renewal brunch hosted by him. We are asking each couple who participates for a $36 per couple donation to Ramat Shalom. Each couple's vows will be renewed individually and can be customized with guidance from the Rabbi. Inter-faith couples may renew their vows too! This is a great way to give Valentine's Day a Jewish twist.
