This low-rent attack looks like the handiwork of another local machinista, but sources

tipped off RED BROWARD weeks ago of the Jedi’s tactics. Let’s see the Machine-apologists explain this one away…Issues. Issues. Issues
Stoned: The Plantation Jedi Hit Candidate Lynn Stoner
Top five reasons Scott Cowan went to Jail. Top five reasons Tom Armstrong lost his seat in State House. Top five reasons Rabbi Harr is a Woman Basher and a foul mouth terp!
She received every endorsement available: FOP, Realtor Association of Greater Ft. Lauderdale, South Broward Board of Realtors and The Sun Sentinel. She obviously has the answers to the issues at hand and these organizations realized it. A pretty lame attempt if you ask me. One made by an opponent, and his “machine,” that has no clear knowledge of city issues and thinks the process is a “pain in the ass” by his own admission. I think the negative BS will be ineffective this time around. I think that people are tired of the shenanigans!
In my opinion she is the logical choice when you compare her to the other two candidates, but I do think this is a legitimate issue to be raised. I don’t think it is worthy of a negative mailing late in the game, but the question should have been asked of her at a candidate forum.
All the candidates voting record should be made available without having to pay to view them. Not bothering to vote in our city elections shows true apathy, wanting to know why the change of heart is legitimate.
Since time immemorial it’s been if you don’t like the message then shoot the messenger. Yes the message probably came from an opponent but did you think Lynn Stoner was going to bring up her atrocious voting records, hardly.
If RedBroward found a Democrat Congressperson, State Senator, State Rep. you don’t think they would bring it to the voter’s attention? Get Real!
Well, all I been hearing from Ms Stoner is how she’s always at the Council meetings and stays to the very end while no one else even comes. Guess she just forgot that you gotta vote, too. Seems like she starting planning to run so sat at Council meetings but can’t outrun her voting record. 18 elections and she never thought about the candidates or the issues locally? Really? Why should I believe her now?
Greetings,
I welcome any and all who choose to enter the arena, whenever they enter.
Plantation City Council Meetings are held at City Hall, 400 NW 73rd Avenue, on Wednesday evenings beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Sadly, one may attend any or all of these Meetings, “swing a dead cat” (As the saying goes in the foothills of The Appalachians, where I’m originally from.) “AND NOT HIT ANYONE!”
Anyone EXCEPT, Mr. George Lord AND Ms. Lynn Stoner. With all due respect to the City Department Heads (Whom put in long hours all day and then have to be ready to be called upon during Meeting agenda items.) and the media representatives.
If asked, two years ago, I’da given my opinion (for what it’s worth) that Ms. Lynn Stoner was testing the waters in preparation to run for municipal office.
“Doing her homework.” you might say. Not just Council Meetings but others, too. Homeowner Associations, other City Meetings and, I believe she has even been serving upon City Advisory Board(s) for some time now.
I’d just like to say that where I’m originally from men and boys are taught as manners that “You don’t hit the girl.” And it kinda’ looks like what’s going on here. Looks desperate, too.
So, in closing, I admire all of those gladiators who enter the arena to achieve victory and risk defeat. You have shown a citizen’s courage that has exceeded my own.
Regards,
Dennis
another resident very well stated. 85% of voters do not vote in municiple elections and I wish that would change. When people do start to change and vote they should not be viewed as second class residents or their opinions are as well intended. It looks like Stoner voted last election and has been attending council meetings for the last three years. I think that has taken quite a bit more effort than Harr taking the fifteen minutes to vote for Armstrong’s his whole life.
The reason I mention Rabbi Harr is that the mailer is from his group, headed by the Plantation power group. The stamp that was used instead of bulk mail permit is exact same stamp he used on his absentee ballot mailer. This is the same group who put out these type of mailers for Pete Tingom. Rabbi lost every interview because he is uninformed on any issues that our city faces. Rabbi had forums, sun sentinel editoral interview and many mailers to let Plantation know why we should vote for him. Yet the Rabbi chosed a last minute mailer by a group that can not be connected to him. Not very Rabbi like, not even very plantation like. You see Rabbi people do not like people who can not look them in the eye and say what you have to say. That is why I look you and the machine in the eye and say ” you are bad for my city and I will not vote for you.” again great comments another resident, now let’s go destroy the cancer that is the Plantation Machine! p.s. Ask Harr why he sent out this type of mailer and why he has Scott Cowan working on his race when you see him.
Way too much time is being spent tonight on this “attack” ad against Lynn Stoner issued by the Harr camp.
Let’s turn the tables, shall we?
Just last week we got a troubling glimpse of Rabbi Harr when his Facebook was discussed in the Sun-Sentinel. The Rabbi curses and makes a mockery of his campaign and his Temple on his Facebook page! Embarrassing! Attack ad needed to shift the focus!
In addition, while Rabbi Harr has attempted to run as “Mr. Harr”, a “CEO of a large corporation Peters Avenue”, Mr. Harr is RABBI HARR, RABBI OF TEMPLE KOL AMI on Peters Road. As such, Rabbi Harr has certain LEGAL responsibilities that require him to do his part to preserve the separation of CHURCH AND STATE. After all, it is supposedly because he and his Temple uphold these responsibilities that the Temple is able to remain a tax-exempt institution. Quite a perk!
As many have talked about on this site, Mr. Warren got in a great deal of trouble for linking the Archbishop to his campaign. The Archbishop understood the rules. And Mr. Warren had to cover up the Archbishop on all of his signs. It seems that the Rabbi feels he is above the rules and blurs the line between CHURCH AND STATE.
Take a look at Rabbi Harr’s campaign reports which are all listed in the city clerk’s website – the donations are mainly from his board and his trustees – what does that tell you!? If you are still skeptical: all members of his Temple received a letter months ago asking them to support his campaign. Members have been solicited. Given the separation of CHURCH and STATE, this is illegal!
And we are worrying about Lynn Stoner’s voting history!?
A campaign sign appeared on the Temple’s property a few weeks ago! How is that allowed? Could Lynn Stoner post her sign there? No other candidate’s sign is there. A Temple is not allowed to be involved in any campaign activity according to the IRS. But Rabbi Harr has gotten his Temple involved. Why? How?
And we are worrying about Lynn Stoner’s voting history!?!?
The Rabbi has gotten his staff members at the Temple involved in his campaign – the latest “word on the street” – the Rabbi’s staff is working for his campaign on Election Day!!! Separation of Church and State!?
And we are worrying about Lynn Stoner’s voting history!?!?!?!?!?!?
Come on people – wake up! This attack ad is great ploy by the Harr campaign to keep us from paying attention to the fact that Lynn Stoner has run a clean, ethical campaign. She has been endorsed by the Police, the Realtors and the Sun-Sentinel. She hasn’t tossed mud. She hasn’t been exposed on Facebook. The man of the cloth on the other hand……..
Let’s pay attention to what really matters – electing an ethical, honest, hard working, knowledgeable person into office. Don’t let Harr’s trick hide the truth
There is an old saying where I come from, “put up or shut up”. AS A CANDIDATE, self funded, I have opposed the corruption, nepotism and dirty politics within Plantation. It is easy to attack, but where in the hell were you people just a few months ago? If Diane & Sheldon are elected, it is your faults for failing to pay attention before it was to late. Last October, Jerry and I sat down and we both agreed that the worse that could happen was Diane being elected. Where were your comments then? When Buddy Nevins was rallying the troops for the Democrats attacking me and Jerry, where were you? When Maureen Dinnen was exorting the teachers to get out for Diane, where were you? Where are the republican school teachers for anyone, are you telling me that there are no republican school teachers? Where are the republican police officers and why doesn’t someone organize the “conservative” police officers? Are you all saying there ar eno first responders in Broward that are conservatives? Talk is cheap, and all that I have seen and heard from the “conservatives” is cheap talk!
we have been working Warren, we just did not want to support you. where have you been the last twenty years? Your Johnny come lately campaign has been an embarrassment to Plantation.
Let’s not fight with each other people. That is what those we don’t want in office are trying to get us to do.
Lots of people have worked very hard in many different ways for this campaign. And those who know campaign know that the last few hours can be critical…so get out there and make it happen.
How do you find out someone’s voting record?
Good question. “super voter” lists are readily available; Super voters are those who voted in the last four elections. The records used in the Stoner mailer seem a bit more in-depth.
