 Still trying to polish the Pompano turd:

City to pump $75,000.00
into PR for new logo

The city is hiring Wilesmith Advertising & Design of West Palm Beach to figure out how to attract investors to Pompano Beach by creating a logo for the city. Their hope is that more hype about Pompano Beach will induce investors to build a hotel here.
City Hall regulars dismissed the move as more corrupt nonsense at the hands of a left wing City Commission attempting to distract voters from a cascade of failures across town.
"A logo for Pompano?" said one Commission regular. "How about a dead fish or a pile of crap with flies circling around."
Critics were quick to point out that Pompano Beach already has an international reputation as a viciously corrupt community that spent millions trying to destroy hotel developers Jim and Tom Stephanis because Commissioner Herb Skolnick and later Beach Commissioner Nate Braverman could not dictate their own terms to the former owners of the Yardarm Restaurant.
After spending millions blocking the hotel project at Hillsboro Inlet the developers declared bankruptcy and the city later bought the property. It remains empty to this day.
Investors have expressed interest in developing restaurants and even hotels at the site but quickly backed away when they researched the history of the property.
"Pompano Beach is well known from New York to Dubai as a place to avoid," said one hotel developer who asked not to be named.
Pompano politicians have spent many thousands of tax payer dollars buying "honors" like 'All American' City awards in a vain attempt to change the city's reputation as a foolish place to invest.
Now city commissioners claim they want Pompano Beach to have a brand that will set it apart and help the city promote tourism and economic development.

 The commission, acting as the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency, gave the firm the go-ahead Tuesday to begin its work. A $75,000 contract will be presented to the CRA in September.
“I don’t think you’re going to have an easy job here. We don’t have just one thing,” Commissioner Charlotte Burrie told company President Margaret Wilesmith.
Beach property owner Gerard Reitano saw a different problem: "What’s the point?" Reitano told reporters, “I don’t know what the logo’s going to do and how that’s going to attract a hotel here,” Reitano said. “I hope it’s better than the image. We’ve got no image. No one wants to come here.”
That’s the purpose behind branding, Wilesmith said — to give the city an image and to define what it is about the city that should be promoted.
She did not explain how she will promote Pompano's public beach with its foul smelling sand along Briny Avenue, filthy bathrooms, sidewalks and an abandoned fishing pier that has driven most local beach goers to use the public beach in Deerfield rather than risking exposure to Pompano's often sewage tainted surf.
“A brand is not a logo. A brand is your DNA,” Wilesmith said. “It may be a feel. It may be an attitude. A logo is just your visual representation of it.”
Wilesmith has done branding projects for a range of groups, including the American Orchid Society and the city of Tavares. Tavares also had many different possibilities, but finally settled on the brand “America’s Seaplane City,” which could then be used as the focal point for promoting the city, she said.



Pompano Freddy sez...
So these so called city commissioners are going to raise our taxes again this year, it seems they do this every year, these people are a disgrace to the city of pompano, they are all going to be voted out that much I do know, what they are doing to us the tax payers of pompano is a sin to say the least, they have done everything they can to run people out of pompano, if thats what they intended it is working,all they know how to do is raise taxes thats it, they need to balance the budget with what they have not tax us more to cover what they want, it does not work like that, the party is over it is time to balance the budget, lay these over paid over benefited people off, stop raising our taxes they are killing us the tax payers all for there benefit and that is all it is, cut back fire people do not raise our taxes, people are leaving here everyday because no one can afford to live here any more and all they do is keep making it worse what a bunch of idiots to put it mildly, we have got to vote them all out of office all of them, get new people in there that care about us the tax payers and not their own agendas but ours, thank you.

Broward commissioner resigns
in corruption probe

A Broward County commissioner has resigned amid charges of improper involvement in county grants handled by her husband.
Diana Wasserman-Rubin notified officials Tuesday in a letter that she was stepping down immediately. Later Tuesday, Broward County State Attorney Michael Satz's office said she was being charged with seven counts of unlawful compensation. Prosecutors say she pushed for her husband's grants and benefitted from them.
A Satz spokesman said Wasserman-Rubin will turn herself in. Her attorney didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Several other Broward politicians have faced criminal charges in recent months, including another county commissioner and a school board member.

Why are so many businesses
abandoning Pompano?

East Atlantic Boulevard has become the elephant's graveyard of business. While City Hall has been funding one grand sounding organization after another to bring businesses here, just the opposite has been happening. The prime tourist area lacks tourists and the annual Seafood Festival is derided by area residents as the "Public Urination Festival."
