This is exactly mean, petty, and extremely partisan crap you can expect out of the local governments in S. Florida. This is like all the frivolous code violation citations written against homeowners who displayed republican yard signs before the 2004 election.

“Commissioner Stacy Ritter said she did not want to support a station that’s out of step with area politics. Ritter, a Democratic stalwart in the state Legislature before being elected to county office, cited talk shows hosted by Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and WIOD’s partnership with Fox News. “

This guy thinks like Rudy; that a constitutional right (free speach) is a local issue, just like the 2nd amendment is a local issue.

Broward county is a lost cause. Its the most corrupt county both morally and financially is the state .In addition, its inhabited by the most unfriendly and nasty group of foreigners and Northern transplants in the country .
We live there for two years and left. It was a nice beach county 25 years ago but the New York / Boston / New Jersey transplants ruined it.

If Rush was on at the time of a news conference, then Rush would not be broadcast; the Emergency Operations news conference would.

I thought about that. I guess Stacy Ritter's concern is that conservatives would be more likely to survive a hurricane with the latest EO news. NPR listener corpses would be hanging from the palm trees.

They’re probably the strongest transmitter in the areas, too. Does anyone know how to check on that?

Stacy Ritter is the Ray Nagin of the Fort Lauderdale area.
Her petty political bullshit may get some schlub and his family washed out of their home or worse, next Huricane of significance.
A radio station more in tune with her political drumbeat?
How about Radio Mugabe, or Radio Granma. Pravda -on line?
This twit is the best we have ; a Chinese meleamine clone of Debbie-Wasserman-Schultz-Clintoon, and THAT ain’t nuthin’ to be proud of. An’ you KNOW what I’m talkin’ bout.

Maybe we can give them a new nickname, like “Broward’s Cowards”. (Although other less polite ones come to mind)

Stacy has a bright future as a future commissar of the nanny state. There are some exceptions but by and large I vote against any woman in politics or up for a judgeship. They are worse idiots than the run of the mill male hacks

Stacy level of integrity is only sufficient enough to be running a kindergarten. Of course this budding commissar is a lawyer——>>>

State Representative Stacy Ritter was born in Washington D.C. and moved to Broward County in 1974. She is a graduate of Piper High School in Sunrise, received her Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Rollins College in Winter Park, FL and her Juris Doctor degree from Nova Southeastern College of Law.

Putting partisan politics before public safety...How pathetic. Everyone in Broward County will deserve what they get after the next hurricane, thanks to their county Commissioners.

They have forgotten a golden rule...Politics have no place after a disaster.

Pure Bulls$(^t.

During hurricanes Jeanne, Francis & Wilma, all TV and radio was on generator power, all live feed programs were suspended and local DJ’s gave power up-dates, road closures, water distribution locations, explained looter shooter laws, aired call ins from people thanking them as their only lifeline and isssued emergency information.

When you have nothing but a battery operated radio to keep in touch with the world you don’t care if its a pubbie or rat station as long as it’s a voice.

So basically these clown politicians want to straighten out that little non-problem before anyone notices it’s never been a problem.

What about the people that did NOT vote for her.

Also her office is NON-partisan. Why is she being partisan? For all she knows it was conservatives who put her in office.

Also, what is the power output of the station? Seems they should want the high output station.

Also she is under the confusion that somehow Limbaugh’s being #1 in that market is not because of the people who voted for her.

She is behond ignorant. Obviously she needs more campaign donations from developers to help her brain work.

By a strange coincidence, EIB Command is located in Broward County! Its fun for Rush to live in Palm Beach. Where else can liberals cancel a radio station he's on? ;-)

To: All

for those whoe don’t know, all 67 counties have websites:

from broward’s: http://www.broward.org/stacyritter/

’m Stacy Ritter, your Broward County Commissioner. I represent the residents of District 3, which includes portions of Coral Springs, Tamarac, Sunrise, and Parkland.

There are many challenges that face Broward County — the second largest county in the State. Together we must focus on streamlining our county government to make it more efficient and responsive to residents. Among our challenges are our transportation systems including mass transit, the crisis in affordable housing, emergency preparedness as hurricane season approaches, and managing the growth of our county. We have to face these issues with the knowledge that government must lower residents’ property taxes. That’s why we must look for efficiencies in the way we do business.

I recently hosted a town hall meeting at the Tamarac Community Center with Congressman Robert Wexler. The three hundred residents who participated asked questions about a host of State, Federal, and local issues. One of the Broward County issues on the minds of many people at the meeting was the status of our airport expansion project, the progress that is being made to build a new runway, and the creation of a new terminal with additional gates. Many may not realize, but oversight of the airport is under the jurisdiction of the Broward County Commission. The airport is an enterprise venture, meaning that it is financially self-sufficient and does not utilize taxpayer dollars to operate. I am the County Commission’s liaison to the airport. I know just how important to the economic development of Broward County our airport is.

The issue of property taxes was also discussed at the town hall meeting. The County has implemented a new budget process to examine all facets of county government. The zero based budgeting process should help us identify waste in government and places where we can cut spending. The Florida Legislature is considering rolling back our tax collections to a level that would save residents as much as 35% of their current property taxes for residents of homesteaded property. Because of these looming cuts and the growing needs of our County, we must use every tool at our disposal to save money.

I want to give a special note of appreciation to everyone who helped make this town hall meeting a huge success. Congressman Wexler and his staff worked very hard and together we had an afternoon that proved informative and useful.

I look forward to continuing our efforts to meet with the residents of District 3 and all of Broward County and provide you with updates and seek your input on the issues facing Broward County.

My office at the Broward County Governmental Center is located at 115 South Andrews Avenue, Room 413, in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Our district office is located in the Family Success Center at 10077 NW 29th Street in Coral Springs.

We are always available to our constituents, and I personally would like to hear from you as we move forward together. Please contact me with your questions, concerns, and requests by calling my office at (954) 357-7003 or e-mail me at sritter@broward.org.
Thank you again for your overwhelming support!

Sincerely,
Stacy Ritter
Broward County Commissioner
District 3
