Holy Dancing Salami! Did Stacy Ritter Team Up With Judy Stern?

1 Reply

Did Broward’s favorite dancing commissioner just enlist the aid of uber-lobbyist and salami sandwich doyenne Judy Stern? Tipsters told us about a recent luncheon for Stacy Ritter (D-Booby Trap) hosted by Stern, but Ritter’s latest campaign report offers more proof.

Ritter paid $8000 to The Kitchens Group for “polling and research”. Another Stern favorite, Fl State Rep Joe Gibbons (D-Jacksonville) paid $5,500 to The Kitchens Group. Gibbons paid Judy $4,694.90; Damn the price of salami has really gone up. Heck, Julio Gonzalez only paid Judy $3,575.

Back in 2008, Democrat Sheriff Candidate Scott Israel (D-Former Republican) enlisted The Kitchen Group at the behest of his consultant…Judy Stern. Broward Beat covered the lawsuit filed by Kitchens against Scott Israel:

“Israel told Kitchen that the bill was the responsibility of his former campaign manager Judy Stern, who often works with the Kitchens Group.

‘The law says the candidate is the agent for the campaign. The candidate is responsible,’ Kitchen said.

‘I have no comment,’ Israel said. ‘It’s in litigation and there are a plethora of issues. Obviously, I believe I acted honorably and honestly as I always do.’”

Not-So-Ringing Endorsements

Many asked if RED BROWARD will make endorsements. Nah, that’s too easy. Loyal readers should be able to figure out who deserves your vote. So we’re making a “DO NOT VOTE FOR” list.  All you naughty ones might find your name on our list.

We’re focusing on local races, mostly judicial and school board races.

Good luck to Democrats voting for Sheriff; Neither guy deserves your vote.

In Florida State Senate District 34, do not vote for Mike Lameyer.

In Florida State Representative 100, do not vote for Joseph “Joe” Gibbons. This Judy Stern crony is rumored to live in Jacksonville WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN.

For Broward Circuit Court races, do not vote for Michael “Mickey” Rocque or Julio E. Gonzalez, Jr. Help Me Howard and the salami sandwich doyenne shouldn’t get to stack the courts.

In Broward County Judge races do not vote Melanie Golden (salami), Robert “Bob” Nichols (baloney) or Ilene Lieberman (mango). You should know our take on Ilene Lieberman. Retire her tomorrow. Do not put her on the bench. Bob Nichols represents convicted Broward politician Sylvia Poitier. Sure everyone deserves a defense Bob. But you’re not a public defender; You DID NOT have to take her on as client. You wanted to. Ms. Golden seems perfectly nice but she acquired a taste for salami sandwiches so that’s a no-no.

In the Broward School Board District 3 race, do not vote for Michael E. Levinson. The Plantation teacher was busted writing a gay-bashing memo to a voter.  We don’t care for bigots, especially opportunistic bigots looking to score points with voters.

The Broward School Board District 8 race is easy, do not vote for Franklin Sands. We don’t need a school board lobbyist’s stepfather on the dais. Period.

Sadly, the Broward School Board District 4 race is another easy one. Do not vote for Nick Steffens. He says Stacy Ritter is his “biggest fan”. We need less Ritter in this county not more. This isn’t the first time Ritter and Lieberman have monkeyed in the District 4 race. We’re told both women put up a candidate in 2006 because they disliked Stephanie Kraft. Voters should pick someone else in that crowded field. (Although we hear Franklin Sands was pushing Abby Freedman on voters).
