Sunrise Commissioner Jacqueline Guzman Just Hired As Aide To Tamarac Commissioner Morey Wright, Now She Wants Taxpayers To Hire Legislative Aides For Fellow Sunrise Commissioners

Just when you thought you’ve heard it all…

Jacqueline Guzman & Morey Wright

Around noon Monday, the City of Tamarac announced the hiring of Jacqueline Guzman as an outreach coordinator for Commissioner Morey Wright, multiple sources told REDBROWARD. A few hours later, Jacqueline Guzman added an item to the City of Sunrise agenda calling for the hiring of legislative aides for Commissioners. How did she add an item to the agenda?

Jacqueline Guzman is a City of Sunrise Commissioner.

As a City Commissioner, Jacqueline Guzman collects a salary paid by Sunrise taxpayers.

As of today, Guzman will collect a paycheck paid by City of Tamarac taxpayers.

And if her agenda item passes tomorrow, Sunrise taxpayers will be forced to pay multiple salaries for the new aides.

Perhaps Jacqueline Guzman could hire Morey Wright as her legislative aide?

Tamarac taxpayers are used to these shameless hiring practices.

In January 2023, REDBROWARD broke the news on Tamarac Commissioner Marlon Bolton working as highly-paid aide for Broward County Commissioner Hazelle Rogers.

Bolton held the position until late last year.

Maybe Marlon Bolton will apply for one of those Sunrise jobs.

Lauderhill Holding Emergency Meeting To Hire Controversial City Of Tamarac Attorney Hans Ottinot

Hans Ottinot, left, and Marlon Bolton share the last laugh?

***UPDATE*** The Lauderhill Commission voted 4-0 to hire Ottinot Law P.A. as their interim legal counsel. While Commissioner Melissa Dunn was allowed to attend the meeting via ZOOM, she was not allowed to vote. Dunn was not in favor of hiring Ottinot.

The City of Lauderhill will hold a special meeting Monday afternoon to hire controversial City of Tamarac Attorney Hans Ottinot as its new legal counsel. The move comes after longtime City of Lauderhill Attorney Angel Petti Rosenberg resigned Friday. It is the latest personnel move following the election of new Mayor Denise Grant in November.

Like Mayor Denise Grant, Hans Ottinot is a close ally of Tamarac Commissioner Marlon Bolton. Earlier this year, REDBROWARD shared video of Bolton’s Key To The Region gala where he called Ottinot “my attorney.”

“My attorney is here, Hans Ottinot, come on give him a round of applause,” Bolton told the audience. “Amazing guy, keeps me out of trouble,” Bolton said.

REDBROWARD, Tamarac Talk and Voters Opinion have covered Ottinot’s questionable legal opinions as well as his hefty legal fees paid by residents of Tamarac.

Most recently, Ottinot gave his approval of a deal to use taxpayers dollars to purchase a dilapidated clubhouse at the Shaker Village complex.

Records show Marlon Bolton lives in a Shaker Village townhouse owned by his church.

Lauderhill residents should be ready to pay Ottinot’s hefty monthly retainer fee for his legal opinions. These fees will come on top of $175,000 consultant fee to Petti Rosenberg for services through May 2025.
