		<description>Sue Gunzburger could beat Steve Geller with one hand tied behind her back.

Steve Geller is a pompous, sleazy, self-serving, public trough feeding, disgusting pig of a man.

Hopefully he will get caught up with his pal Russ Klenet and go to jail.

This guy is an un-indicted co-conspirator on many fronts. He is just slippery enough to not get caught.

Look at his net worth back in the day when he first ran and look at it now. Think he&#039;s been saving his money or stealing it?</description>

		<description>Ken Gottlieb is not the answer.  Trust me. He has always been  ineffective.  Tell me what he has done if you disagree. No one outside of Pemb Pines Century Village and Hollywood ever heard of the guy.  Small fish.</description>

		<description>I just googled it.  They had only 2 jail escapes in Miami in the ten years:
http://origin.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,181215,00.html

Have any escaped from the Broward jail or stockade in the past few years?  I have no idea.  Do you?

FROM BUDDY:

Regardless of how many escapes there have been, the commission in Miami-Dade has done a horrible job of running the jail system. 

The Dade system has had continued problems because the commission refuses to allot enough money to run it properly. 

Don&#039;t believe me?   Here is part of a Miami Herald article about the jail system: 

&lt;strong&gt;JAILS DIRECTOR TO STEP DOWN&lt;/strong&gt;Miami Herald, The (FL) - Wednesday, April 5, 2006 

After two years as director of Miami-Dade&#039;s jail system, Charles J. McRay announced his retirement Tuesday, leaving behind a department struggling to reverse what critics call decades of neglect from county leaders. 

McRay, 51, stressed he was not forced out by county leaders. 

``It&#039;s a personal decision. It was something we felt was in the best interest of our family,&#039;&#039; McRay told The Miami Herald. 

McRay joined the department on Oct. 4, 1976. His last day will be July 1. 

His announcement comes four months after the escape of accused serial rapist Reynaldo E. Rapalo from a county facility sparked a comprehensive review of the nation&#039;s sixth-largest jail system. 

The Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department daily houses about 7,000 inmates in six facilities and one community corrections center. 

Rapalo escaped from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center using a rope made of bed sheets, later shedding his uniform for street clothes. He was captured six days later. 

There is no question that problems plaguing the department long preceded McRay&#039;s tenure. 

DEPARTMENTAL WOES 

Still, critics viewed McRay as part of a problem group of high-ranking officers overseeing a department plagued by low morale, poor training, lax internal oversight, racial tension in the ranks, underfunding, understaffing and a growing inmate population. 

Many of those critiques were found in reviews of the department over the years. 

Back in 1997, a county task force found that staffing was inadequate and more facilities and inmate bed space was needed. 

A police and fire task force formed in December after Rapalo&#039;s escape found that jail buildings were severly outdated, officer training was poor and security was lax. It also found the department had 134 positions unfilled. Its final report is pending. 

Peter Newman, a corrections sergeant attached to the Police Benevolent Association, said McRay&#039;s departure will not solve the department&#039;s problems. 

``It&#039;s a department that is starved for resources. Whoever they put in his place, if they don&#039;t give him the resources to do the job properly, they will also fail,&#039;&#039; Newman said. 

County Manager George Burgess said Tuesday he has not decided whether he will look locally or nationally for a replacement. ``I want to evaluate all the options,&#039;&#039; he said. 


POSSIBLE CANDIDATES 


For months, it has been rumored that several top Miami-Dade police administrators have been asked to take over for McRay. 

Cory Barney, the outspoken president of the Organization of Minority Corrections Employees, said current brass should not be considered because many have long been part of a broken system. 

``We support a qualified outsider,&#039;&#039; he said. 

The Rapalo escape helped highlight to county leaders and the public long-evident internal corrections problems, notably funding issues, McRay said Tuesday. The department has a $241 million budget and employs more than 2,400 people.

		<description>Gunzburger must have a short or failing memory. Isn&#039;t it the Miami jail where so many people escape from and then they have to spend more money to catch them all over again often after they do another crime or two. Good idea Sue. Spend our tax money to study how we CAN&#039;T AFORD to let the commission run the jails.</description>

 Why don&#039;t you ask Geller what his position is on this.  He is probably a lobbyist for someone vying for a piece of the action if the county takes over.</description>

		<description>If I understand &quot;Sorry Sue&quot; correctly, we shouldn&#039;t look into whether or not this idea could save us tax dollars ........ just because we don&#039;t have an independently elected mayor?  Maybe I&#039;m slow, but I don&#039;t get the connection.  Less spending is less spending, no matter who gets the credit for it.</description>
