Broward Sheriff "Dr." Tony's attacks lead to a lesson in reality of governance
By Dan Christensen, FloridaBulldog.org
In the halls of BSO headquarters, Sheriff “Dr.” Gregory Tony is accustomed to hearing “Yes, sir!” from his overly fawning command staff. 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. Further aggravation arrived in the form of an independent county audit that pointed the finger at the sheriff for tens of millions of dollars in cost overruns on his pet project, BSO’s new training center.
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.”
