As REDBROWARD reported last week, Mark Daniel, aka “The King Of Tamarac” spoke highly of Commissioner Marlon Bolton at the recent Key To The Region event. Daniel is married to staunch Bolton ally and fellow Tamarac Commissioner Dr. Kicia Daniel. Bolton dubbed Kicia Daniel the “Queen of Tamarac.”
At the event, “King” Mark Daniel said, “Anybody wanna win, go see Marlon.”
Did Mark Daniel mean local elections? Legal cases? Mediations?
His Tamarac “subjects” deserve answers, right?
The political committee chaired by Broward School Board Member Allen Zeman picked up another large contribution from a local developer, State campaign records show. On May 24, 2024, The Corradino Group made a $5,000 contribution to the Keep Students First Florida political committee. As REDBROWARD reported last week, Allen Zeman is the chairman of the Keep Students First Florida PAC.
On November 1, 2023, The Corradino Group made a $10,000 contribution to the then newly-formed Keep Students First Florida political committee. Records show Zeman opened the political committee on October 2, 2023 even though he does not face re-election until November 2026.
In a follow up, REDBROWARD reported the company owned by Allen Zeman’s brother does business with The Corradino Group. Zeman Consulting Group is owned by Derek Zeman. A social media post revealed Zeman Consulting Group has a continuing services contract with the Broward School District.
Allen Zeman did not respond to our request for comment.
Now, State campaign records show Allen Zeman sharing the Corradino Group wealth with his former school board aide.
SHARE THE WEALTH?
On May 31, 2024, campaign records show the Keep Students First Florida PAC made a $500 contribution to Rebecca Thompson, a candidate for the Broward School Board District 2 seat. The contribution was made one week after Keep Students First Florida picked up $5,000 from The Corradino Group. Until very recently, Thompson was an aide for Allen Zeman.
The $500 contribution may seem small, but The Corradino Group made up for that in previous contributions to Thompson.
On November 27, 2023, the Thompson campaign reported a $1,000 contribution from The Corradino Group. On that same day, Thompson reported a $1,000 contribution from Corradino LLC.
Those contributions came three weeks after Zeman’s PAC received $10,000 from The Corradino Group.
Why is The Corradino Group so willing to fund Allen Zeman’s PAC when he is not on the ballot?
Why is Zeman and Corradino investing big bucks in Rebecca Thompson, a political newcomer?
Broward voters deserve answers.
