(Not So Full) Disclosure:Broward Edition

When Ilene Lieberman (D-Meow) met with the Sun-Sentinel editorial folks this afternoon the whole Guma Aguiar issue came up. Lieberman represents Aguiar’s mother. Judge Speiser named Thomas Panza as conservator of Aguiar’s holdings. Panza gave Lieberman $500 big ones on June 14th.

According to a source, the conversation at the sun-Sentinel went like this:

Q: Ilene, did you disclose this to Judge Speiser?
A: No.

Q: Did you disclose this to opposing counsel?
A: No.

Q: Did you disclose this to your client?
A: No.

Q: Why not?
A: It’s all public record.

Q: So, Judge Speiser is supposed to look up your campaign finance reports himself?
A: It’s all public record. Besides, I didn’t know he had contributed to my campaign until I signed the report last Friday.

Q: This check is dated or was deposited on June 14.
A: I’m not responsible for knowing who gives to my campaign until I sign the report.

Don’t worry Ilene with these trivial matters; her 12 cats are worried sick about those mango thieves.

Lobbyists And Specials Interests Fund Ilene Lieberman Judicial Campaign

Lobbyists and companies with business before the Broward County Commission have poured thousands of dollars into Ilene Lieberman’s campaign for county judge. Many say Lieberman,currently a Broward County Commissioner, is a professional politician and a novice attorney. Her opponent, Katherine “Katie” McHugh is an experienced trial lawyer. Lieberman touts her experience with the political process at judicial forums.

Lieberman (D-Catlady) received contributions from construction firms, All-Star Toilets, garbage firms, janitorial companies, the Florida Panthers and companies doing business at the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport.

Don’t worry, Ilene is speading the money around. She paid her neighbor $1000 to build a website for the campaign.

Ilene Lieberman’s six cats were unavailable for comment.
