Broward County Commissioner Stacy Ritter spent $5,000 on a comedian. No joke. In her latest (amended) financial report, Ritter lists a $5,000 expenditure on Stewie Stone, c/o the New York Friars club. Stone provided some laughs at Ritter’s King’s Point campaign kickoff.

For the period covering April-July, Ritter reports raising just over $12,000 while spending $20, 398.78.
Robert “Bob” Sutton, a former Broward high school “Teacher Of The Year” and current County Commission candidate, spoke to the south Florida media regarding the arrest of former Broward Teachers Union president Pat Santeramo. The media swarmed Sutton following Broward Sheriff Al Lamberti’s press conference at BSO headquarters. Sutton addressed several tough questions to BTU administrator John Tarka who participated in the press conference. Sutton made it clear to Tarka that teachers and union stewards were uncomfortable knowing several BTU officials charged in the investigation were still in powerful positions.
Robert Sutton will face Stacy Ritter (D-Booby Trap) in the November election for Broward County Commission District 3.
