BROWARD COUNTY

Coral Springs bond referendums:

Coral Springs voters should say no to costly parks and public safety bond measures, but say yes to bonds for fixing roads and drainage.

Pompano Beach bond referendums:

Pompano Beach’s pricey bond measures for parks and public safety go too far, but the city bond plan for fixing roads is worth taxpayers’ investment.

Fort Lauderdale mayor:

Dean Trantalis brings experience, willingness to listen to the public and a commitment to smart growth that makes him the best choice for mayor.

Fort Lauderdale commission:

Steve Glassman offers long-time city roots along with a commitment to fixing failing infrastructure that voters in District 2 should support. Warren Sturman’s willingness to stand up to developers, while getting the city to catch up on fixing outdated pipes and other facilities, makes him the smart choice in District 4.

Hallandale Beach commission:

Mike Butler’s experience in civic involvement gives voters a reason to trust he can help Hallandale Beach rise above corruption scandals dogging city government.

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea mayor:

Mark Brown can bring new ideas, and a commitment to protect the small-beach-town feel, as Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s next mayor.

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea commission:

Elliot Sokolow’s small-government approach is something voters should keep on the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea commission.

Pembroke Pines commission:

Ismael Monroig’s ability to get things done should earn him the right to go from an appointed fill-in to elected commissioner for District 1. Angelo Castillo’s experience warrants another term representing District 4.
