Marlon Bolton solicited and delivered campaign checks to fellow Tamarac Commissioner Morey Wright from garbage and towing companies, records show. One day after Wright was elected to the Tamarac Commission, Bolton filed a “Campaign Fundraising For Other Candidates Disclosure Form” with the city clerk. Bolton admitted to raising campaign funds for Morey Wright and Wright’s opponent, Stuart Michelson.

On the form, Bolton wrote, “Delivered a contribution from Coastal Waste to Morey Wright on 10/25. Communicated with Waste Management 10/26, provided Westway Towing # 10/27. Provided contact for Malcom Butters to Michelson campaign on 10/27.”

Bolton listed a $1,000 check from Coastal Waste and a $500 check from Westway Towing.

Marlon Bolton signed the form.

The official campaign treasurer’s report for Morey Wright listed a $1,000 contribution on October 25, 2022 from Coastal Waste. On October 28, 2022 Wright listed a $500 contribution from Westway Towing.

Broward County Commissioner Hazelle Rogers introduced herself to her constituents at Wednesday’s Plantation Council meeting at City Hall. The newly-elected Rogers even introduced her staff that accompanied her. But Hazelle Rogers did not want to discuss her newest staffer, Tamarac Commissioner Marlon Bolton.

Last week, REDBROWARD revealed Rogers wanted to add Bolton to her growing staff in District 9. All staffers’ paychecks are funded by Broward taxpayers. Bolton already collects a hefty paycheck courtesy of Tamarac taxpayers.

Rogers refused to answer why she wanted to hire Bolton. She did not answer questions regarding Bolton’s role in her County Commission campaign. Rogers was silent when asked about the mysterious Delaware company known as “Purple Bird Communications.” Last year, REDBROWARD exposed how the Rogers campaign have tens of thousands of dollars to this mystery company.
