		<description>PBAs endorsement of Gunzburger was made without the knowledge of the BSO PBA members. BSO union reps have threatened that if the PBA does not rescind its endorsement, BSO leaves the PBA.</description>

		<description>You are reading too much into the endorsements, Buddy. 

David Brownnose is Geller&#039;s campaign manager.  David Brownnose bought the fire fighters endorsements by hiring a retired union member to work on the campaign. 

Gunzburger doesn&#039;t buy her endorsements.</description>

		<description>&quot;allowing Hollywood PD and Fort Lauderdale PD to both bid against BSO for providing police services at the port and airport&quot;

I was not aware of this.  If she did this (opened it up to bids), it would be a legitimate reason for them to support her.  This is actually a good idea.</description>

		<description>I would guess this hs very little to do with giving/paying to the cops, and hs everything to do with PBA&#039;s current fight with Sheriff Lamberti for trying to break the contract deal he reached with the BSO deputies in 2008.  Everyone knows that Lamberti hates Gunzburger for two of budget proposals involving BSO: Having the County take back the jails from BSO and runit themselves, and allowing Hollywood PD and Fort Lauderdale PD to both bid against BSO for providing police services at the port and airport.

Maybe I&#039;m wrong but I think this PBA endorsement of Gunzburger was simply meant as a big F*** You to Lamberti.</description>

		<description>The County has nothing to do with fire or police or any other union matter in cities.  For those cities to endorse a county commissioner seems a waste of their member&#039;s dues.  

What real motives unions have when they endorse candidates, whether those motives imply deals tentatively cut with officials to bend over to union demands, people have to decide that for themselves.  To be certain, unions are special interest groups that lobby elected officials very hard.  One would hope that they are also deeply vested in the success of the communities in which they operate.

For my part the endorsement of unions has become meaningless.  I ignore that entirely and instead look to why someone is running, what they have done in the past, and what they are looking to do in the future.  

Those considerations alone lead me to decide which candidate would be best for me, my family and the community.  I then vote that way.  In my view that is the most proper way to cast a vote.</description>

		<description>I agree Buddy, way to go.  Why arent you hammering the Sheriff about that in Pompano.  That is the real problem and these cities are simply financing these unions - plain n simple</description>

		<description>I know this is a canned phraze &quot;As a county commissioner Iâ€™ve worked closely with the brave men and women of law enforcement to make our streets and neighborhoods safer&quot;

But what does the county commission have to do with law enforcement in Hollywood, Pem Pines, or any of these cities that all have their own police.</description>
