Broward County Commissioner Hazelle Rogers wants to hire controversial Tamarac Commissioner Marlon Bolton as her top aide, multiple sources tell REDBROWARD. Rogers won her District 9 race with help from Bolton. Last summer, REDBROWARD spotted Bolton delivering Rogers campaign workers and signs in a Plantation neighborhood. Rogers refused to answer questions regarding Bolton’s role in her campaign.

Even though he is paid to serve on the Tamarac Commission, one source claims Bolton has been seeking a government job for some time. Commission aide is a well-paid position with good benefits. One of its unofficial benefits is serving as a “gatekeeper”—the main contact with local businessmen and women, corporate leaders, developers and lobbyists.

Would these activities as a Commission aide create a conflict for Marlon Bolton as a Tamarac Commissioner? A purple bird tells us Rogers is seeking advice on whether or not she can hire an elected official.

As documented by REDBROWARD, Bolton wears many hats: Commissioner, Preacher, Political Consultant, Tamarac Post Writer. Will Tamarac voters care if he takes on another side gig?
