On Jan. 29, Cooper City Commissioner Lisa Mallozzi certified that she had completed four hours of annual required ethics training. She did the same for 2022 and 2023. Unfortunately, there was no requirement that she learn what she was taught.

Four months later, in a May 28 special recognition ceremony at city hall, Mallozzi took the podium to hand out scholarship awards to four high school seniors provided by the city’s longtime, though recently replaced, trash hauler Waste Management. Company lobbyist Andres Limones Cruz stood nearby holding the obligatory giant presentation check.
