LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Not enough Holiday spirit at Dec. 2 commission mtg.

Dear Editor:

Such wonderful presentations and speeches at the start of the last commission meeting.

The beginning of that meeting made me feel proud to live in this city.

How too bad that it was so well attended for many of the wrong reasons.

As a citizen of Deerfield Beach, I know that the good folks at St. Ambrose church are the best of neighbors and contribute much to our community. Father Dalton is known to almost all.

The reputation of both is not questioned in the recent report from the OIG [Broward Office of the Inspector General]. The mayor’s actions completely apart from St. Ambrose’s involvement make up the report.

Her good intentions cannot be considered when it comes to the letter of the law and our form of city government. It makes no difference whatsoever that there has been cooperation between the city and St. Ambrose in the past nor that there will be in the future. (There should be, if you ask me). Our system of city government must be followed at all times. There cannot be exceptions.

Further, it appeared to me, that the death of a valiant serviceman from Deerfield Beach was used in an attempted “Gotcha” moment by those who should hang their head in shame. The lengthy prepared remarks and the several who delivered them were totally transparent. How repugnant and misguided they were.

The mayor mentioned our brave fighting men in her remarks at the (wonderful) Ocean Way Holiday event.

All the commission members and city staff worked tirelessly on our Veteran’s Day events. Never would someone have been deliberately excluded. I cannot imagine why someone would hold back information regarding a fallen hero. What a terrible way for that few to conduct themselves during this holiday season.

Sally Potter Deerfield Beach
