The wife of Tamarac Commissioner Marlon Bolton uses a separate Shaker Village address for voting and business purposes, official records show. Last week, Bolton voted to spend $1.9 million dollars of taxpayer money to purchase the dilapidated Shaker Village clubhouse. Last May, Praise Experience World Outreach, Inc., a non-profit organization operated by Bolton and his wife, purchased the Shaker Village unit where he resides.
As REDBROWARD reported on Tuesday, Tamarac residents were outraged their tax dollars would be spent on an eyesore owned by a private community. The outrage grew after learning Bolton’s Praise Experience World Outreach could profit from the deal. One Tamarac official told REDBROWARD each Shaker Village homeowner could receive a $5,000 share of the clubhouse purchase.

Bolton and his wife, Carla Tyson-Bolton, have deep ties to the Shaker Village community. According to a July 2020 lawsuit filed by Tyson-Bolton against the Shaker Village Homeowners Association, the Boltons lived on Ann Lee Lane between 2017 and 2020. The Boltons moved to their current Ann Lee Lane residence in the summer of 2020.
In March 2021, REDBROWARD revealed Broward Sheriff’s deputies reported to a domestic disturbance call from Mrs. Bolton at this Ann Lee Lane address.
In April 2021, REDBROWARD reported North Lauderdale Commissioner Regina Martin, a close Bolton ally, used the same Ann Lee Lane address to obtain a suspicious COVID-19 relief loan from the Federal government.
So why does Mrs. Bolton use a different address for her business records?
According to Florida corporate records, Marlon Bolton and his wife own and operate Tyson, Bolton and Associates LLC. Since its formation in 2017, the Boltons have listed its principal address as 76 Pleasant Hill Lane in Shaker Village.
State records show Mrs. Bolton’s real estate license lists 76 Pleasant Hill Lane in Shaker Village as her address.
State and local records show Mrs. Bolton is registered to vote at 76 Pleasant Hill Lane in Shaker Village.
Marlon Bolton also used this Pleasant Hill Lane address.
Just after midnight on June 28, 2018, Marlon Bolton received a traffic ticket for disobeying a red light in Margate. The ticket listed 76 Pleasant Hill Lane as his home address.
Who actually lives at 76 Pleasant Hill Lane?
Attempts by REDBROWARD to contact the owner listed on property records were unsuccessful.
It appears Marlon Bolton blocked all communications from REDBROWARD.
Is the owner of the Pleasant Hill Lane home a friend or family member of Marlon Bolton?
Does Marlon Bolton have any ties to or interest in any other Shaker Village properties?
Tamarac taxpayers deserve answers before this nearly $2 million dollar deal is finalized, no?
