The results are in...
Margate Voters have decided our city's fate for the next couple of years.
Congratulations to the victors. Thank you to the candidates that decided to run for office. It is not an easy task. And definitely not for the faint of heart.

It's really no surprise that Mayor Arserio has aligned himself with one of the most notoriously crooked guys on the Broward Politics scene. The man circled is Percy Johnson. He has been charged several times with grand theft among other criminal charges. He uses unethical tactics, including telling untruths about candidates.

Mayor Arserio... You ARE the company you keep.

Here's a laugh for you Margate Residents...
Nina Culver says let's have ALL voices be heard... Meanwhile she has blocked DOZENS of residents from her personal, campaign and feel good group Margate Neighbors. The reason for being blocked? VOICING THEIR OPINION! She's off to a good start fitting in with the clowns on the dais.
Is this what residents are to expect if she is elected?

Don't be fooled Margate residents. This charlatan isn't in the helping business. He's just another con man trying to make money on the backs of small businesses.
Rob Reiner touts himself as the Messiah for small business in Margate. He is far from it. He claims to be doing charity through KOMIM Kares... But the BUSINESS is a for profit entity.

His Business and Home Improvement Expo is the new scam he is pushing off on Margate Small business owners. Below is a shot of the application. $150 for a booth space. What will be included for that price?
He will undoubtedly be granted a fee waiver from the Commissioners (with the possible exception of Commissioner Simone) he is requiring businesses to provide their own event insurance, so there's no cost incurred by him there. Plain and simple terms, he's looking for a payday.
Don't fall for it Margate Small Businesses.

Wow... The hits keep coming across the interwebs. Not very tasteful... But hilarious all the same.
*trigger warning*

Happy Halloween Margate.
We don't know where these originated... But they are too good not to share.

22/10/2022

Let's talk about Arserio...

Aside from being a smarmy, dick head of a human being, he is out of step with what the majority of Margate residents need and want.

He opposed projects that would bring safe bike lanes, and covered bus benches, that were not going to cost Margate taxpayers a dime.
He opposed improvements to public transportation, again paid for by MPO, not city taxes. Proving that he is completely out of step with the needs of many working class residents who rely on bicycles and public transportation for their livelihoods.

He has shown complete disregard for city sign code, citing 1st amendment infringement for his flagrant violations. Funny he is concerned about his 1st amendment rights, while he violates thousands of residents rights by TAKING AWAY residents ability to speak at commission meeting via Zoom.

He has had several chances to sever the tie between commission members and senior staff. This tie was bound by commission so that when senior staff receive raises, so do commissioners. A simple vote would sever that tie, he has chosen not to do so.

He has openly mocked residents at the podium, played laugh sounds on his phone while residents are using their 3 minutes to address commission as is their right. (link below)

To date Arserio has taken $60,000+ dollars in campaign contributions from real estate developers, all of whom have Section 8 housing. $60,000! Less than $700 from residents. Who do you think he will work for?

He made a big stink about the Downtown development plan made before he was in office, stating that he was opposed to more apartments, but also approved the new apartment complex going in at Coconut Creek and Banks Rd.

Arserio was one of the Commissioners who voted to have the debacle of a fraudulent fair come to our City. It started with gunfire injuring an elderly woman. Boasted animal cruelty acts that attracted negative publicity around the protests. And numerous fights broke out. And hundreds of residents were charged for expensive arm bands only to find a large number of rides to be broken.
Then.... After all that... He voted to bring it back this year.

Arserio initiated the new Roof ordinance that takes the power of making decisions about roof materials away from homeowners.

He has used code enforcement officers to carry out his personal vendettas against residents in the form of fines.

He uses the Margate Police Department, by claiming threats that haven't happened. Forcing them to go to residents homes over Facebook comments. Wasting valuable resources, and leaving residents feeling intimidated.

He was complicant in the unethical hiring of the Asst City Mgr who has never attained the qualifications required for the position.

He has voted to keep the elevated fire assessment fee, even though the fire station is completely funded.

He voted to give himself a $300 monthly car allowance, $250,000 life insurance policy, full medical coverage, phone allowance, a guanteed COLA each time city employees receive it.... Being a commissioner is meant to be a PART TIME thing to serve your community. NOT a full time career politician job, or a stepping stone to a bigger political stage.

Margate Voters... It's time to rid the City of the bottom feeders. Let's send a clear message that the residents are tired of footing the bill for their lavish lifestyles. We demand honesty and integrity back on the dais.

perfectly fine for a sitting commissioner to disrespect a member of the public who's speaking though!

14/10/2022

The Federal courts have ruled that elected officials who block residents from seeing and/or commenting on their social media accounts are violating the 1st Amendment.

Commissioner Tommy Ruzzano has blocked several residents from his page on which he discusses city business, and closed comments to only people on his friends list. Mayor Arserio blocks some (those who criticize him) residents from commenting on his page where City Business is discussed. These activities are ILLEGAL.

When you are an elected, there is no private /personal account. The residents whom you serve have the right, guaranteed by the 1st Amendment, to criticize, debate, and participate in discussions on social media without constraint. Yet, these 2 elected officials continue to violate the basic rights of residents. Several emails have been sent to Margate City Manager, and City Attorney asking for action to be taken to restore these rights to no avail.

Mayor Arserio is also the elected official who took away residents ability to speak at city commission meetings via Zoom.

Why do these commissioners feel they are above the law? When commissioners are sworn into office, they swear an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

These commissioners have broken that oath. They do not deserve to sit on the dais.

12/10/2022

Ok folks let's talk about the charter amendment to have an elected Mayor position.... it seems like a great idea, right? And it may be a great idea in another city where the Mayor has real power. But in Margate, the Mayor is only as powerful as a Commissioner Outside of approving the agenda, and deciding on the way meetings will run, the position is ceremonial. The Mayor makes a few thousand more dollars than a commissioner as well. Margate Voters elect commissioners. Those commissioners chose among themselves who will serve as mayor for the next year... it is supposed to go in rotation. This is the way our city government has been since Margate became a city. It has always worked just fine.

So why does Margate need to elect a mayor?

Let us look at the commissioner who is pushing this ballot item the hardest. Ruzzano. A few things to note. He has NEVER voted to seperate his salary from senior staff (even though he's had the chance to do this several times). Meaning every time senior city staff members get a raise, so do Commissioners. Commissioner's, and now the Mayor's, salary is decided by the Commissioners. Yes... You read that correctly. They decide how much they make on the backs of taxpayers. Along with a pretty good salary for a part time job, commissioners also receive a very good benefits package with full coverage health insurance, car allowance, phone allowance, $250k life insurance and are vested in the FRS (state retirement system) after 8 years. Ruzzano is fully vested in FRS. When he retires he will receive payments for the number of years served as an elected official. He will be termed out in 2028. If elected Mayor, (of which he is sure he will be) he is guaranteed another 2 years of salary plus benefits, including yearly raises, and another 2 years of FRS pension.
All courtesy of YOU... the Margate taxpayer. This will come in very handy for him. Especially since his house is in foreclosure, the scheme to defraud his homeowners insurance isn't working out, and his wife's wages are being garnished for past debts, not to mention the thousands of dollars she owes the state for the tax fraud arrest a few years ago involving now disgraced David McClean.

They, Ruzzano and Arserio (a wannabe career politician with a political science degree) will tell you that electing a Mayor is to give resident a voice. Meanwhile, these are the same 2 that block residents from their social media pages... Which the federal courts have ruled is not allowed by elected officials at any level. Mayor Arserio, has effectively silenced residents by ending their participation in commission meetings via Zoom. If they really wanted residents to have a voice... They would start there.

This is about circumventing term limits. Margate Voters have already voted on this issue twice. Both times voting to keep term limits in place. 3 terms ( 12 years) is all you get as an elected official in Margate. This is a way to work around that by making up this new position... Nice try.

Don't be fooled Margate... This is a con job. The elected mayor is a TITLE ONLY position with no more power than the commission appointed mayor. It's all about the money, as usual.

11/10/2022

Margate Voters...
The time for City Elections are upon us again.
We are here to shine a light on some things you may not know about a few issues.
First up... the Commission races.
Joanne Simone (incumbent) it's no secret that Simone is tight with the City's money. That's a good thing. But, she has been vilified, by namely Rob (the Whiner) Reiner, for not wanting to donate to every charitable cause that shows up at a commission meeting with their hand out. The City has a budget, passed by the commission. There is an allotted amount in the funds for charities. When those funds are exhausted, that's it.... Just like most household budgets. Fiscal responsibility is one of the earmarks of a good commissioner.
She votes for the residents best interest as a whole. She always does independent research on agenda items, and is not afraid to vote her conscience, no matter what the other commissioners do. She doesn't succomb to the pressure put on her by other commissioners. THIS is the kind of INDEPENDENT thinking residents require of a leader.
Most of the donations in her campaign chest have come from Margate residents. That alone speaks volumes about the trust residents have for her leadership.

Her opponent, Nina Culver, has a large portion of her campaign funds from outside interests. Real estate developers, Mgt companies and the like. 🚩🚩

During the last election cycle Ms Culver campaigned against Ruzzano. Even went as far as to remove his signs from public areas. Now she's riding in the front of the Ruzzano bandwagon. 🚩🚩. Is this the type of flip flopping residents can expect from her if elected?

When the proposed Veterens Center was in front of the Commission, she was gung ho!about the project, then she suddenly changed her tune when she didn't see the same response from residents. Then she claimed to do independent research and changed her mind. More flip flopping... More 🚩🚩🚩
Margate needs a steady representative to help steer the ship. One who understands the issues, and votes for the residents best interests. Ms Culver is not the one for the job.

Think wisely Margate Voters. This election is very important.

We'll be back with more...

19/07/2022

Greetings Margate Voters! Another election cycle is upon us. As campaigning begins to heat up, we came across a few things that made us laugh.

23/06/2021

Meeting regarding "Veterens Care" facility has been canceled with no explanation. We've reached out to City Mgr, a screen capture of his reply is below Along with announcement on Commissioner Ruzzano's page...again no explanation as to why it was canceled.

Maybe they just don't want to hear from residents.

22/06/2021

Margate residents let's flood City Hall with our opinions about the proposed drug detox center disguised as a "Veterens Care" facility in the residential neighborhood.
It may not be your neighborhood, THIS TIME. But, if this passes city commission, it will set open the door for drug detox/treatment centers to be allowed in residential neighborhoods in the future.

Once the zoning change is in place, consider this. If this "Veterens" facility doesn't work out for whatever reason, the owners could sell to another operator who could accept whatever type of drug addicts they want to treat. The law cannot discriminate.

We all appreciate out Veterens and the sacrifices they abd their families have given. But a facility of this type is better suited to the medical corridor.

Plan on attending the Workshop on JUNE 30 at 7pm at CITY HALL.

Well it looks like the slow moving wheels of justice are starting to turn. The Office Of Inspector General (OIG) is looking into the alleged bid rigging going on within Margate City Commission.

The Broward Office of the Inspector General has asked for a copy of all quotes, proposals and bids that LeLack Construction of Coconut Creek submitted to the city of Margate,

03/05/2021

Commissioner Arserio here's our question of the day...
Did you ride by Commissioner Ruzzano's house and snap pictures of his code violations?
Don't worry someone else did. Not that it matters, but living in an RV in your front yard is a code violation too.

One would think with all the issues Margate residents are facing, you would be busy trying to help. Not cruising neighborhoods in the car residents pay for, looking for things to shame.

What more can we say about the incompetent commissioners we have? Thank goodness SOMEONE had sense to cancel this horrendously dangerous gathering. Broward County is under a shelter in place order. A sitting commissioner should be leading by example and not encouraging residents to congregate and protest. Especially when NO ACTION has been taken until NOW to make sure Margate children are represented at school board meetings.

Just wrong on so many levels. No, no, no, no, noooooo

25/03/2020

Meanwhile our "Mayor" refuses to stay home, encourages nonessential businesses to stay open, and votes to spend taxpayer bucks on frivolity.

“Now granted, this isn’t going to make a tremendous drop in the bucket, but what I want to communicate to you is I’m not afraid. If I was afraid for myself, I would be doing something to retain that, but I’m not going to ask you to lose your salary if I’m not willing to do the same at this...

15/03/2020

Copied and shared:

So what I have seen a lot of is recommendations for how to try to avoid getting coronavirus in the first place -- good handwashing -- but what I have NOT seen a lot of is advice for what happens if you actually get it, which many of us will. So as your friendly neighborhood RN, let me make some suggestions.

You basically just want to prepare as though you know you’re going to get a nasty respiratory bug, like bronchitis or pneumonia. You just have the foresight to know it’s coming.

Things you should actually buy ahead of time (not sure what the obsession with toilet paper is?): Kleenex, Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in 325 mg tablets, Ibuprofen (Advil) in 200 mg tablets, Mucinex, Robitussin or whatever your generic cough medicine of choice is (check the label and make sure you're not doubling up on acetaminophen - some brands like DayQuil have it included and you don't want that). You want a cough medicine with both a cough suppressant and expectorant. Vix vaporub for your chest is also a great suggestion.

If you don’t have a humidifier, that would be a good thing to buy and run in your room when you go to bed overnight. (You can also just turn the shower on hot and sit in the bathroom breathing in the steam). If you have a history of asthma and you have a prescription inhaler, make sure the one you have isn’t expired and refill it/get a new one if it is.

This is also a good time to meal prep: make a big batch of your favorite soup to freeze and have on hand. Whatever your favorite clear fluids are to drink (Sprite, juice, ICE waters, Fresca, whatever floats your boat), stock your pantry with those. Maybe get some nice soothing tea too!

For symptom management, use the meds I mentioned. For a fever over 101, alternate Tylenol 650 mg and Advil 400 mg so you’re taking a dose of one then the other every 3 hours.

Drink A TON, hydrate hydrate hydrate. Rest lots. You should not be leaving your house except to go to the doctor, and if you do, wear a mask (regular is fine, you don’t need an N95).

You DO NOT NEED TO GO TO THE ER unless you are having trouble breathing or your fever is very high (over 103.5) and unmanaged with meds. 90% of healthy adult cases thus far have been managed at home with basic rest/hydration/over-the-counter meds. We don’t want to clog the ERs unless you’re actually in distress. The hospital beds will be used for people who actively need oxygen/breathing treatments/IV fluids.

If you have a pre-existing lung condition (COPD, emphysema, lung cancer) or are on immunosuppressants, now is a great time to talk to your P*P or specialist about what they would like you to do if you get sick. They might have plans to get you admitted and bypass the ER entirely.

One major relief to you parents is that kids do VERY well with coronavirus— they usually bounce back in a few days, NO ONE under 18 has died, and almost no kids have required hospitalization (unless they have a lung disease like CF). Just use pediatric dosing of the same meds.

Just be calm and prepare rationally and everything will be just ducky.

Out of an abundance of caution, the City of Margate has declared a state of local emergency to enable City Administration to take all necessary measures to protect the health and public safety of Margate residents due to the coronavirus. While there are no confirmed cases in the City of Margate, the emergency declaration allows City Administration to proceed with all mitigation, prevention, and awareness efforts required to further avert impact from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in Broward County. Our top priority is to ensure our Margate residents are safe.

Margate commissioner charged by county's ethics inspector with violations

16/02/2020

The following has been copied and pasted from Le Peerman for City Commissioner page.

So, it is raining today and what better day to address the elephant in the room. It has been, it still is being, and for some people, will always be used against me.
However facts are not being disclosed. Yes, I have two ethics violations from the Broward OIG. Yes, I agreed to settle and paid $150 restitution and a $500 fine. Here is what happened. In 2014, Jan and I were married legally in NY. In FL, it was not legal yet , so we had a fake Florida wedding for our friends and family here. I hired someone to do all the details. She did a great job. I was told, (however, not in writing), that this celebration was in my personal capacity, not my official capacity. First, Jan and I did not want gifts, so we told people if they wanted to, in lieu of gifts to us, could they please donate to our favorite charities, Duck Haven and 100+ Abandoned Dogs of Everglades Florida. That was one violation. Elected officials must fill out paperwork if soliciting for charities. I did not, as I believed it was in my personal capacity. Secondly, a friend gave us the DJ as a wedding gift. I did not know how much it cost him until the OIG started to investigate. It was $150. That was violation number two. An elected official can not accept anything above $50. $100 for the state. As I did not know what was paid I did not fill out the paperwork. Once I did I filed the paperwork with the state. The person was a friend; however, he had two businesses in the CRA district and I was in the CRA board. I was also informed that anyone you meet after you are elected is considered in your official capacity, something that was not ever said at any of the gazillion ethics classes I took. He was NOT, as has been said, a vendor in the city. It states it right in the OIG report that he was not. I asked the OIG if I could tell my commission before it was “leaked to the press”. I knew the night that I told them that the state overruled the ability by charter for a commission to remove another commissioner. However, had one commissioner said that I should be removed, I would have stepped down. None did.
I still to this day am sorry that this was brought onto the city. I understand if you cannot vote for me because of the above. I just want to make sure you are being told the facts.

This is what YOU are paying your city commissioners for a PART TIME job.

Oh boy! Culver's is FINALLY going to start construction (again) on its long awaited project in Margate. There is much fanfare from a few individuals, and a particular Facebook group. Is this an attempt to get the bitter taste out of our mouths?

Sept 2018 Culver's announces they are coming to town.
Culver's (Medalist Restaurant Group) donates maximum donation amount to Commissioners Ruzzano, Caggiano, And Schwartz. Their lawyer and lobbyist Steve Wherry also donated to these 3 commissioners.
Since announcing their intentions to open, the MCRA Grant program was revamped. Previously it was for facade and landscaping, signs for existing businesses to improve the aesthetics along 441. Then the grants were changed. Mr Wherry not only attended the MCRA meeting at which this was discussed, he spoke (for much longer than the 3 minutes he is allotted) giving suggestions as to what the new grant should include,to benefit his client Medalist Restaurant Group.
MCRA has since rewritten grants to favor new construction. They also had a MORATORIUM on any grants in place at the time MRG was awarded a $150k+ grant from MCRA (YOUR TAX DOLLARS).
Now Mayor Ruzzano and his minions are beating the Culver's drum again. Will he pressure THIS business into discounts for mentioning his name? For the $150k gift... I think we should all get free burgers and shakes.

Here are some screen shots and a link to an article on another community news page.

Well folks, there's a new Mayor on the dais. Is this the kind of reckless leadership we can expect from our current commissioners seeking reelection?

Throwing illegal beer parties in parking lots may not seem like a big deal to some, but here's what you may not know.

When the City holds an event, there are PERMITS involved. A TEMPORARY LIQUOR LICENSE must be obtained. INSURANCE must be issued. Why? One reason, is because it isn't legal to consume alcohol in parking lots, parks, or other public spaces. Another reason is it puts the City in serious danger of being sued. If one of these attendees were to have injured or killed themselves, or another person in an accident after consuming alcohol at this rag tag event, they city would be liable through 3rd Party Liability. Do you think Mayor Ruzzano would take sole responsibility, even though he masterminded the event? Doubtful.

Sad to see 3 sitting commissioners, Ruzzano, Caggiano, Schwartz (Arserio appears in video via video chat) and most of the Planning and Zoning board, Chairman Zucchini, Rob Reiner, and Donald Fritz show such Flagrant disregard and disrespect for the LAWS that the rest of us residents have to abide by.

NO ONE US ABOVE THE LAW.
PLEASE... VOTE THEM OUT 2020
