Disgraced Tamarac Mayor Gets Tribute Video?!?!?

Leave a reply

Guess they forgot to include Beth's mug shot

Ah, the beauty of YouTube. This video was featured on the Sun Sentinel awhile back, the link was down but it’s back up. Tamarac mayor Beth Talabisco was removed from office after being charged with bevy of corruption charges. Someone at “Tamarac Talk” produced this tribute to Talabisco; We’re pretty sure Ilene Lieberman didn’t come up with this. The video is described as follows:

“A tribute to our beautiful Mayor who was suspended from office by Florida Governor Rick Scott after she was arrested on public corruption charges. We believe the State Attorney’s office will not be able to prove the charges. We hope that she get’s reinstated back into office as soon as possible.”

Not sure about that optimism…especially when going up against Ilene and Bev. But there are a few pics of Diane Glasser in the video…perhaps all is not lost. Best of luck, Beth.

(Yet Another) Broward Democrat Arrested

Mandy Dawson, former Broward Democrat State Senator, has at long last, been arrested. Prison will do wonders for a bad back…

Here’s the story from The Sun-Sentinel:

“Former South Florida state legislator Mandy Dawson was arrested Wednesday on a federal income tax charge, and she is scheduled to go before a judge in Orlando later Wednesday for her initial court appearance.

The allegations are a troubling epilogue to the 16-year political career of the groundbreaking politician. Broward County’s first black woman in the state Legislature, she came to be known as a champion of the poor and the medically needy, serving six years in the state House followed by a decade in the state Senate. Dawson, a Democrat whose district stretched from Fort Lauderdale to Palm Beach Gardens, was pushed out of office in 2008 by term limits.”
