Margate Florida – City Commission Meetings: Duck Haven

October 27th, 2009

Here is a short primer on how corruption starts. One always needs to be vigilant when serving the public! Yes, do serve your constituents, but you must do it within the law, and apply it equally to all, PERIOD! If you can’t, change the law!

Duck Haven is the name given to a place behind a private residence in a gentrified neighborhood. It may or may not be a non-profit business, that is irrelevant for our discussion.

What is stinky, is politicians using public funds to repair a private dwelling, only because the person cares for injured Muscovy ducks, a Florida non-native bird. While the person who tends the ducks is well meaning, it does create a nuisance for her neighbors. But, you only need to know a commissioner and it opens the public cash register!

What bothers me, is are they extending the courtesy to each and every constituent… homeowner… friend?

I mean, can they come fix my home, too? What would I need to do for that… care for some ducks, while violating city code for years or know some city commissioner?

Oh… by the way, our city commission is non-partisan… wink-wink! But they are all members AND OFFICERS in the city’s Democratic Club… wink-wink! But it is totally non-partisan!

Wanna buy a bridge? Cheap!
