Nearly thirty homeowners association officials and activists stormed out of the Parker Playhouse after the Fort Lauderdale commission failed to give City Manager Greg Chavarria a modest raise. The group had been unanimous in its praise of Chavarria at Tuesday’s meeting. But their praise fell on the deaf ears of lobbyist Judy Stern’s allies on the commission—Pamela Beasley Pittman, John Herbst and Warren Sturman (D-Tone Deaf).

Only Mayor Dean Trantalis and Commissioner Steve Glassman voted for the three percent raise.

Following the vote, Glassman yelled “shame” which prompted the petulant Herbst to call for a censure vote.

The gathered crowd was even more blunt. Several audience members yelled out “Judy Stern” or some other combination of her name. Others promised to voted the Stern allies out of office. “See you in November,” one member of the public yelled.

Judy Stern was not inside the auditorium.

No word if the Stern family hired someone to record the meeting, again.
