Hallandale Beach Moves a Step Closer to Terminating City Manager

• How many tickets does it cost for the good rides at the Ex? I've never been to the Ex before, and I'm going today, and I was thinking of just getting tickets for the rides instead of the all day thing because I don't want to spend 50 bucks just to get in and go on rides. But it's not one ticket per ride, right? How many tickets does each ride cost? What ride charges the most tickets?

• Change Hallandale you just have half the story. Did you forget that Bad hired John Canada's daughter as the deputy city clerk without any prior experience. Oh, she worked for her father the city clerk and Southwest Ranches for a few months. So the minutes went downhill from there. Of course, that was after John Canada hired his wife Charity, at $100,000 to Moonlight in her second city manager position.And of course, he also hired his future son-in-law( Doug Baber) into a position he created at a high rate of pay. his prior experience: bartender. According to the budget, he is compensated over $90,000 a year. Joy Cooper and Ross sat there and praised him all through his unethical practices.

• Both Good and the Mayor oppose real transparency. The city commission used to approve meeting minutes months, and sometimes years, after the meeting occurred. No one complained except London. Sometimes the wording of motions were changed to whatever the city manager wanted, and when London objected he was overruled. Finally thanks to pressure from the State Prosecutor's office, they got the minutes up to date, but change the format to "action" minutes only...meaning that all the minutes now show are the motions. Nothing on the discussion. Again, that was to decrease real transparency, despite the Mayor's claims that anyone can get the Commission meeting recordings to watch...its ridiculous to think anyone can actually sit through 7 hours of her rants. The city attorney was recommended to his job by the city manager...very cozy, right? So do you think he's going to say anything negative about Good? No. And his primary objective is to retain his job, not to enforce the city's own laws. So he does whatever the Mayor tells him to. Its a disgrace how they are now reviewing the details of this contract. That should have been done when Good resigned and asked to be rehired. But what did they do instead? Whatever they were told to do by the Mayor. Only London objected asking for details and more specifics. These commissioners have failed to do their job for years, and now they are kicking Good out while saying how great he is....more hypocrisy.

• I'd like to see minutes of meetings from all departments posted on our city website. Just get it up there so all the voters can read what our government is doing & spending. Why in this day and age with the internet does someone have to request this information by piece meal? I'm really curious why the mayor's head spins around, her eyes pop out and gets ants in her pants whenever London brings this subject up. I don't know much about London except he wants transparency. If you have nothing to hide upload it. Also, why didn't our city attorney come up with alternatives to good's severance package on his own to save our city some money. Why did the commission have to come up with ideas late into the night? I thought lawyers were supposed to be like pitbulls.
