City Attorney About To Depart?
Rumors circling today that long- time Fort Lauderdale City Attorney Harry Stewart is about to retire.
Well, I just reached Harry, and here's what he said -
"I'm going to give it [his retirement] some thought over the holidays, and I should have an answer for you by about Jan. 5th", Stewart said.
Stewart has served with three Fort Lauderdale City Managers, and has served four different City Commissions.
Stewart is probably the city's highest paid employee, at over $350,000, salary and benefits, but is also widely viewed as one of the most experienced and seasoned City Attorneys in the state.
The rumor also had it that some of the other high ranking attorneys in his office would also be leaving, but Stewart wouldn't comment on that. I haven't been able to verify that as of now.

Wow Tim, Two scoops in one day. You're on a roll. Now if you can just get that interview with Jackie Scott you will have run the table. As for City Attorney, how about Bradford Cohen, if he was good enough for Trump's apprenticeship he should be good enough for us.

Double Wow Tim! Is this the result of the at least 29 years w/city/55 and over early retirement packages from last week's FLL CC mtg?

As long as this area looks as bad as it does nothing will change. Too many weed-infested foreclosures blot the landscape. Th e solution is not easy, it takes a lot of time for code to act and you cannot blame the code dept. The laws are cumbersome and drawn out for good reason. A man's home is his castle and this is a free country. But maybe we have gone a little too far on guaranteeing the rights of the individual when society at large is getting screwed , as we are in this neighborhood......
