Sister Of Slain MSD Coach Aaron Feis Claims Verbally Attacked By Husband Of Broward School Board Member Laurie Rich Levinson

2 Replies

In an interview with REDBROWARD on Tuesday, Johanna Feis describes how the husband of Broward School Board Member Laurie Rich Levinson yelled in her face at early voting. Feis, sister of the late MSD coach Aaron Feis, is at the Davie/Cooper City library supporting Dr. Richard Mendelson. Aaron Feis and sixteen others were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas on February 14, 2018.

Mendelson, a lifelong friend of Aaron Feis, is leading a strong challenge to unseat Levinson from her District 6 seat. Johanna Feis claims Neil Levinson got in her face after both spoke with a voter. On Sunday, Mr. Levinson allegedly told Feis she was mentally unstable due to her brother’s murder. Ms. Feis and Mendelson identify Mr. Levinson in a photo lineup provided by REDBROWARD.

Late Tuesday, a lawyer for Johanna Feis claimed another local Democrat supporting Levinson screamed at her for discussing her late brother and the other MSD victims. Attorney Cathy Lerman tweeted:

“Attorney Randy Fleischer, the head of the Davie Democratic party, today advised families of MSD victims who are at the polls talking to voters for the BCSD seats that they SHOULD NOT discuss their MSD loved ones with voters. So Fleischer wants them to pretend it didn’t happen?”

Candace Lerman tweeted:

“Attorney Randy Fleischer, President of Davie Democrat Club told @MendelsonBCPS6 in front of Ray Feis, brother of MSD hero Coach Feis, that the families of the 17 victims shouldn’t talk about them when supporting school board candidates. @PollackHunter @AndrewPollackFL @jaketapper”

Broward GOP Chair Candidate Received $5K From High School Boosters For Stadium That Was Never Built

Broward Republican Party chair candidate Eugene “Gene” Robinson received a $5000 payment for fundraising work for a high school stadium that was never built. On Wednesday, Robinson told REDBROWARD he had never received any money as a “professional fundraiser.” Florida law requires anyone who solicits funds to be registered with the State Department of Agriculture. Failure to register can result in civil and criminal penalities. Robinson admitted he was not a registered fundraiser.

Following the publication of the REDBROWARD story, Robinson told a Republican group he was a “volunteer” fundraiser.

Now, multiple sources confirm Robinson received $5000 from  J.P. Taravella High School Boosters for his help raising money to fund an on-campus football stadium. Robinson promised boosters he could replicate the work he performed to help build a stadium at Stoneman Douglas High School in Coral Springs.

REDBROWARD obtained a copy of the resume Robinson sent to Broward School District officials. Robinson wrote, “The [Taravella] campaign will involve bringing in between $800,000 and $1.2 million for a stadium, lighting, and a scoreboard. When I finish that phase of the campaign, I will raise the $600,000 necessary to install an artificial playing surface in the Taravella stadium.”

The Taravella stadium was never built.

UPDATE: According to the Sun-Sentinel, Robinson has pulled out of the Broward GOP race.
