Cooper City Insider Mayor Eisinger's Proven Track Record

Below you will find a rebuttal by a resident to a recent political ad placed in the Embassy Lakes newsletter. It is intended to clearly put the last several years of the current leadership of Cooper City into focus. A recent ad describing the Mayor's track record requires a definite rebuttal.

Mayor Eisinger's Proven Track Record (Yeah Right!)

"Successfully lowered taxes & increased public safety services."

Merely lowered the "millage rate" because the increase in real estate values have resulted in a very significant increase in taxable value, (residential values have doubled since 2000). As to public safety services, they have actually been held in check or reduced as of the 2007-2008 budget recently passed.

"Ensured all city development is in compliance with municipal land use plan & applicable regulatory limitations."

That makes us wonder why we paying zoning and planning personnel and what ever have they been doing at the fun filled hours at the P&Z meetings.

"Initiated the city's 1st Peace Rally promoting community unity."LOL
I bet I can raise a crowd of 50 people who would rush to a city commission meeting to challenge that theory. [Ed: She can't even maintain unity at the commission meetings!]

"Established a City Education Advisory Board."

I looked but did not find the requirement for that one in the city charter. Nor had we heard a clamor from the citizens for that board. [Ed: The Mayor also said numerous times on the record that 'we have no control over the school board']

"Successfully negotiated purchase of open space land for a passive park with Broward bond funds."

Great Job. Isn't that the deal that Channel 4 captured on film? NO, that deal was just listed in the newspapers as part of the story on "Law & Disorder-City Officials Dining on Taxpayer's Dime".

"Brought Adopt-a-street program to Cooper City."

Let's see, did that arrive prepaid or C.O.D.? No problem, we have $8.5 million put away for those kind of emergencies. (Go clean the street Debby!... Hey...maybe your buddy Jamie the Janitor will help you as repayment for your support of him!)

"Advocate of greater code compliance to preserve our property values."

This one really takes a lot of nerve to actually say. The reduction of personnel and the push off to HOA's sets a new standard of diminished veracity. [Ed: All in the name of taking away people's rights in exchange for revenues]

The ad then asks for continued support to use this experience and leadership to keep our community " Someplace Special". I shutter to think what that now says about Cooper City. The image that it had has been seriously damaged by the leadership shown by this Mayor and further tarnished by the flimsy excuse "I sipped but did not swallow". [Ed: or was it "I never swallowed one drop, I was merely holding the glass"]
