Commissioner Marlon Bolton Promotes Garbage Deal With Coastal Waste In Misspelled Email Blast Sent To Tamarac Residents

Marlon Bolton may be running for re-election in November, but right now he is campaigning on behalf of Coastal Waste and Recycling—a company that made large contributions to a PAC tied to Bolton. In an email blast to Tamarac residents, Bolton bashes the current company that handles garbage collection in the city. Bolton urges residents to watch a YouTube video.

The video, set to the Pink Panther theme, documents Bolton’s past interaction with the crew of a disabled Waste Management vehicle. Bolton declares Tamarac deserves better.

Just one problem.

In a rushed attempt at damage control, Bolton misspelled better as “brtter.”

Guess Happy Feet didn’t use any of that $50K on spellcheck software.

Here is the complete Bolton email:

Hello XXXX,

I am writing to you today in response to the recent email from “WM” regarding their waste collection services. While WM has served our community for many years, I believe it is time for a change.

Here’s why:

  • WM’s proposed prices are too high for Tamarac taxpayers, with a total cost of $83,431,021.80.YES, more than 83 million Dollars!
  • There have been too many complaints from Tamarac residents regarding missed trash pickups and more.
  • Coastal Waste & Recycling, their competitor, scored an impressive 94.20 points in the evaluation process, demonstrating their commitment to excellence.
  • The City Commission directed staff to issue a Best and Final offer to get a better price from the companies who are bidding on the contract, WM, Waste Pro, and Coastal. Coastal Waste and Recycling submitted the lowest price with superior customer service, saving YOU MILLIONS!
  • The City of Coral Springs has already made the switch to Coastal Waste and Recycling, and they will enjoy superior service at a fraction of the cost. Why shouldn’t Tamarac?
  • Coastal Waste and Recycling is the only company testing electric vehicles for collection services and promises to provide all new trucks for our community.
  • Unlike WM, Coastal Waste and Recycling will not use subcontractors, ensuring uninterrupted service for our residents with 100% accountability.

I urge you to research this issue before emailing the City Commission to express support for any company.

I remain committed to looking out for Tamarac residents and holding the city accountable for contracting with a company that provides stellar customer service, newer trucks, and superior service at a fraction of the cost.

I believe it is time to lower your tax bill and join other smart cities like Wilton Manors, Davie, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, and others in making this positive change for our community.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Marlon D. Bolton

Marlon Bolton and Coastal Waste

In light of our latest story regarding large campaign contributions to the Broward Vision PAC and Marlon Bolton’s refusal to abstain from voting in a new garbage contract, REDBROWARD is reprinting this story from April 2023:

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.

Does Marlon Bolton regularly solicit checks from companies that do business in the City of Tamarac?

Earlier this month Broward County Commissioner Hazelle Rogers (D-Purple Bird) rehired Bolton as her commission aide.

Will Marlon Bolton solicit campaign contributions from companies doing business with Broward County?
