Federal investigations have led three Palm Beach County commissioners to resign and two West Palm Beach city commissioners to resign and go to jail since 2006. The feds have recently turned their attention to Broward County, where three politicians were arrested Wednesday on corruption charges.

Not the judges yet, we need them to hear the cases of Jeffrey Hernandez and Art Johnson when the time comes. Their is more corruption in the Taj Mahal Building then there is in any one single building in Palm Beach County.

How about the former state atty that allegedly now works for PBSO?
Why did not he ever uncover anything.
How close is he with Mr. Looobin….Funkels x….?
That could explain the whole Taj Mahal disaster……
Nothing seems to stop these people…and you elect one you think is better and it turns out worse.
its not the individuals…its SYSTEMATIC…..until we change the corrupt culture that now thrives within our govts, nothing will change.
voting in new people, does not work.
this country was founded revolutionaries trying to get away from big corrupt govts….we have come back to where we started.

Pretty soon we will be hearing about corruption coming from members of this new Office of Inspector General and the independent ethics commission. These administrators could have prevented all this by firing all these dirty commissioners, but they let the problem get out of hand. Or is it because they were in some way involved in these crimes?
