Countywide fire service reform effort halted (Broward Sheriff Ken-Ken Defeated)

The Broward County Commission voted down two proposals Tuesday that could have reformed the county's fire rescue service.

One would have set in motion earlier plans to accept a proposal from Sheriff Ken Jenne to run the Broward County Fire-Rescue department. The other would have asked voters whether they want to set minimum standards for all fire departments in Broward County.

There has been a push to reform the fire service since last year, when outside consultants condemned the county's system of 24 departments and 11 dispatch centers as "wasteful and inefficient."

Tiny Sheriff Ken-Ken (about 5'0") is a real piece of work. He has this Napoleonic Complex that has given him the personality of an arrogant shmuck. Because he is so small (and bald) he has to constantly find way to make himself feel bigger. Sheriff Ken-Ken has been involved in a continual grab for power ever since he was appointed Sheriff of Broward County a few years ago. He continually comes up with County reorganization plans that just "happens" to consolidate all power in the Sheriff. However, since his personality is so loathsome, even his fellow Demmycrats in that most Demmycrat of all Counties, Broward, despise him. Therefore they shot down yet another Sheriff Ken-Ken bid for personal power. But don't worry, Sheriff Ken-Ken will come up with another county plan that will give him more power and make him feel better.

Perhaps Sheriff Ken-Ken should consider wearing elevator shoes. It is much cheaper than reorganizing Broward County just so Little Napoleon can feel bigger.

He's shrimpier than a ventiloquist's dummy ..... And has a head that looks like one and carved from wood.

To paraphrase Dean Wormer: "Short, bald, and ugly isn't a way to go through life." Plus one should add "angry." BTW, look for Sheriff Ken-Ken to run for the U.S. Senate if Bob Graham announces that he won't run for re-election in 2004. Sheriff Ken-Ken's problem is that even his fellow Demmycrats can't stand him. I've heard that Mitch Caesar (actually a nice guy if you overlook his politics) who runs the Demmycrat Party in Broward, absolutely despises Sheriff Ken-Ken. And you can see that the other Demmycrats who run Broward County can't stand him either because they keep shooting down his dopey ideas to consolidate power in Broward County in the Sheriff's Office.

p.s. I wonder if we will soon see Sheriff Ken-Ken dolls on the market. At exactly 5 feet tall they will be life size.

Look for Sheriff Ken-Ken to run for Senator in 2004 if Bob Graham retires. Sheriff Ken-Ken won't get far, however. Not only do his fellow Demmycrats despise his repulsive personality, he wears a perpetual sneer on his face that highlights the ugliness of the tiny one. I once saw Sheriff Ken-Ken riding a horsey during a parade (and struggling to keep in the saddle) and I didn't once see him crack a smile.

Re your post #6, PJ - David, check it out.

I doubt Sheriff Ken-Ken will even win the primary. Too many Demmycrats dislike him. Mitch Caesar, mentioned in the other article, can't stand Sheriff Ken-Ken.

I don't follow local politics much, but, he does sound like he has a complex.

It's called a Napoleonic Complex. However, I think Sheriff Ken-Ken is even wackier than Napoleon who wasn't really all that wacky. A local Demmycrat politician said that Sheriff Ken-Ken can look into the eyes of a friend and see ONLY an enemy. Sheriff Ken-Ken has a reputation of never letting the slightest disagreement with him go unavenged....ever.
