  1. City's rejection of report is sad commentary

    For the city to completely reject the grand jury’s report (“City to ignore jury’s report,” June 13) is sheer fiscal absurdity. Ignorance is bliss, but arrogance in government by city officials is perilous and reckless. “He...

  4. My Word: Just following the rules in Winter Park

    I ran for Winter Park City Commission to help bring a divided community together. As a commission, we have been working to achieve that goal and bring harmony to our community.

  5. Cottage-style homes planned for Montex fire site

    When the old Montex Textiles plant burned in 2005, it was no ordinary fire. Hundreds of barrels of chemicals, including toxic powdered aluminum, sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide fueled the blaze, which was later ruled an arson. Federal officials...

  6. Appearances matter, your honor

    Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's trip with her family to the beach house of lobbyist Lisa Harris Jones during Memorial Day weekend may have been exactly what she claims — two friends getting together ("Friends in high places," June 14). However, as an elected official, the mayor needs to understand that appearances matter, and spending a weekend with one of the biggest lobbyists in the city, no matter how long you have been friends, just does not appear correct.

  7. These hires sure look political, Sheriff Israel

    Broward Sheriff Scott Israel is getting quite a reputation these days for being very good and generous with his friends.
    Broward Sheriff Scott Israel is getting quite a reputation these days for being very good and generous with his friends. It's just not the reputation we think he should seek. Israel was quick to tell Sun Sentinel reporter Brittany Wallman that his...

  10. The mayor and the lobbyist

    Based on what we know so far, there does not appear to be anything illegal about the way Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has carried on her friendship with City Hall's top lobbyist, Lisa Harris Jones. Strictly speaking, there may not be anything unethical about it either. But it is certainly unwise. Both parties may have good motives, but the situation does damage to the public's trust in government, and it is up to the mayor to find a way to rectify it.

  11. Earl Maucker, commissioner, Lighthouse Point; former editor, Sun Sentinel

    <strong>Last Week:</strong> The story of the week in my mind involved Chief Judge Peter Weinstein issuing an executive order requiring defendants accused of residential burglary to appear before a judge rather than being able to post an automatic bond.&nbsp; As an elected official I can speak first hand of the damage done by residential burglars who not only violate a person's privacy, but can cause extreme damage to an individual's quality of life through fear.&nbsp; Police Chief Ross Licata is to be complimented for his initiative in bring this to Weinstein's attention and the judge is to be lauded for his quick action.&nbsp; These are two public officials who have the community's interest in mind. It's also a very positive sign that the judge has ordered a complete review of the current bonding structure.
