So it didn’t go over well when Broward commissioners recently told Tony no, that his proposal for a 48 percent budget hike – to more than $1 billion – was unworkable.

Tony’s unsociable retorts on social media: Broward County Administrator Monica Cepero “fabricated a falsified and misleading audit report.” County commissioners are “complicit in this destructive narrative/audit” and “are attempting to tarnish BSO’s successful management of this project to justify underfunding our organization.”
