THE $200,000 CLUB

165 Comments

Who wants to join the $200,000 club of elected officials?

State Attorney, Public Defender, and Clerk of Courts are all up in 2024.

There’s a lucrative pension, health benefits that can’t be beat, plus $202,400 annually for SAO & PDO, and $203,466 for the Clerk. And don’t forget – all the free rubber chicken you can eat on the banquet circuit.

Harold Pryor has already submitted his paperwork for a 2024 run, and Brenda Forman has too. Gordon Weekes will also most assuredly be seeking reelection.

Will the elite, highest paid constitutional officers in the Broward courthouse face opposition in 2024? Or will they go unopposed?

WAIT AND SEE …

LA TIMES – How a convicted murderer’s bid for freedom sparked a fight between L.A. County judges

As L.A. County Superior Court Judge Daniel Lowenthal was weighing the case — including the discovery of information that arguably should have been turned over to Flint more than 15 years ago — he received a motion to disqualify him from hearing the proceedings.

The motion wasn’t written by the prosecutor in the case. Its author was Connolly, his fellow justice …

      To stir up readership for this loser
      blog, Bill Gelin wants others to
      run against three of Broward’s
      black office holders. Gelin won’t
      run for office himself because he
      has already lost twice, getting a
      whipping in 2020 and getting
      demolished in 2022 by even a
      larger margin.

          Whoever files against Díaz- will be a judge. Not too many people are going to give him $-because he isn’t even serving a full term. The campaign can point to the fact that voting for Díaz is giving DeSantis another judge.
          What I don’t understand is why Díaz is putting himself through this. I’m sure he can collect his full salary and retire. Hasn’t he been a judge for like 40 plus years? He should retire, collect his pension and leave the courthouse.

              Imho Diaz will be worse than Laz or Stone and never leave. He has to be voted out. This place never improves until all the old JQC types are gone. We need to make sure we vote in a new Chief who isn’t connected to JT too. We know JT and his puppet will bring Diaz back and keep all the old ways. Scherer is gone now and things are finally looking up. Broward can be great if all the old bad traditions are broken once and for all. Yeah then. People we can get this done.

    And how much is this county clown going to make? Just saw this in the last thread. Copy pasting. But she’s one of several incompetent county clowns. Feld and Evans to name two more.:

    Are there any PIP lawyers on here? We need a support group for having to go in front of Tabitha Blackmon. How does she make so many clearly bad rulings?? She puts people in a position to have to spend money they don’t have on an appeal or fuck off and eat her bad ruling. It’s really bad. And it’s really dangerous. I know nobody cares about pip but it’s getting crazy. I just don’t think she’s very smart. And She can’t interpret case law to save her life. A lot of us are forced to settle so we don’t put our cases in her hands because she’s that incompetent and it’s so frustrating. Also, suspiciously, her bad rulings are always in the favor of very specific law firms….I’m not saying this is a fact but…I’d bet my life on those firms being big donors to her re-election campaign. Might be worth looking into…it’s egregious enough where you should be able to find a pattern pretty quickly.

      A travesty. How does someone with 6 years as a staff attorney from a weak law school become a Circuit Court Judge? The process is shameful. The family lawyers are not happy. Has she ever argued a case before a judge on behalf of a client? Just so wrong.

        She’s out of a robe in two years. Stop crying. Start planning. An experienced (20-25 yrs) person wins. There’s no coming back against real experience. The voters will be aghast at Desantis’ hubris in appointing her. Together with his toxicity in the Gay, Black and general Demo pop of Broward. It’s easy pickens for someone with stones.

      Is this word salad intended to mean something? At least get a good grasp on what gaslighting means before you try to use it as a burn against lawyers who are clearly much more intelligent than you. I’m guessing you’re either a judge or a friend if judge? But you sound dumb and you’re not accomplishing what you think you’re accomplishing. Thanks for making our point for us: not smart.

    The first thing the new crop scumbags wants to do is get paid more for being the same old as well as the new breed of scumbags that Satz and his team have been for over 40 years. So now we have the 200K club instead of the 150 k club. And you’re still a joke- and criminals.

            She has support in her community. So She definitely wins again. Sorry people but all her horrible baggage didn’t bother the voters last time. And it won’t this time either. Again, her community will vote her in regardless of her indiscretions.

      It would be perfectly acceptable that the black leaders in the community made an equal salary as the white leaders. The problem lies with the specific black leaders that “lead” in Broward. Pryor, Weekes and foreman are true examples of corrupt, incompetent and lazy leaders. We all know it. So stop your bitching and do your jobs with integrity. Fair is fair. Earn your pay you rejects.

She gets paid more than the top homicide lawyers. It’s all part of the same crap pushed by the same players with no talent except being able to worm themselves into a position where they play around if they come into the office at all and collect a hefty check for doing nothing. Political patronage costs taxpayers a lot to produce nothing. All playing the demo card.

          She is leaving the bench to make more $$ and probably have a TV show. He looked like an ass on the news. I think if someone runs against him they will win. The public hates him because of Cruz. But that isn’t cool or fair- because he was doing his job, and from what I hear he isn’t doing a bad job. But in terms of the public- I think he should be worried. He is the Cruz defense attorney- regular people hate that. (Unjustly so- he was just doing a job)

She is going to make more $$ now. She could have stayed on as long as she wanted. No one would be able to match her $$ or fame. You live in a courthouse bubble to think the people give a fuck about some hugs.

          Not so sure that either of them couldn’t be bounced out of office considering the incompetence shown on both sides. Tuter should never have allowed Scherer to handle such a case, and Weekes is just a clown looking for a captive audience.

              The simple answer to Liz Scherer’s departure is she got her fragile ego shattered by her own inexperience and immaturity in a case she should never have been allowed to preside over.
              The blame resides with Tuter and his decision to allow her to do so thinking he was tossing her a bone.

    Just saw Debbie Wasserman Schultz on channel 10. DWS what a disgrace, the hair the eye makeup to start. All she cares about is her Wasserman name. So I’m gonna tag her Sgt Schultz from Hogan Heroes fame – Hogan I see nothing, know nothing – about the border, inflation, gas prices, illegal immigrants infiltrating our states and cities, crime, corporations closing stores because of crimes and gun violence, it’s hard to regulate gun violence when the guns used in the crimes are stolen.
    Please Sgt Schultz address these issues too.

      Right on–Wasserman needs to address all the reasons Florida has become a dump.
      1. We have more shooting crimes even in broad daylight. Almost as bad as Texas.
      2. Why is Florida the capital of Medicare and Medicaid Fraud? We the tax payers are fed up with it
      3. Why do we pay more than auto insurance than in California? Insurance execs are making record money and we are still stiffed?
      4. Why did the Florida Department of Insurance not investigate the Insurance companies who changed the Adjuster’s Reports?which denied Homeowners the true amount of money due to them?
      5. Why are Homeowners being penalized and Insurance Companies get the green light to double and triple our premiums?
      6. What are there so many Neo-Nazi’s and Fake Patriots in Florida?
      7. Why are property taxes so damn high?
      8. Why does FPL get a green light to raise our rate? This is reverse Socialism and the only winner is FPL
