POMPANO BEACH MAYOR LAMAR FISHER MISUSES PUBLIC

OFFICE - CALLED OUT AS CROOKED KINGPIN

Pompano Beach, FL, July 10, 2010 Pompano Beach Mayor Lamar Fisherhas a record of misusing his publicly elected office for his own benefit, and in a

recent scandal involving the improper use of eminent domain to take properties

from Pompano Beach citizens, churches, and businesses, Lamar Fisher is being

called out as a crooked kingpin.

One eminent domain case in the scandal involves a newly restored

historical multi-million dollar landmark property that the Pompano Beach

Community Redevelopment Agency seized in its desire to demolish its buildings

and resell the valuable land to unnamed developers. Lamar Fisher in addition to

being Mayor, is also the Chair of the so-called Pompano Beach Redevelopment

Agency and under his leadership this agency seized properties left and right for

years. However, a Broward Circuit Court and Florida District Court ruling found

that at the time of the eminent domain filings, the Community Redevelopment

Agency wasnt authorized to be formed, let alone seize properties through the

highly regulated power of eminent domain. But this did not stop Fisher, and he is

still pursuing the seizing of property for private development (and one might add,

private profit).

Mayor Lamar Fisher has been a longtime commissioner and CRA member,

his family are longtime Pompano Beach power players, and he is currently the

President and CEO of the familys Fisher Auction Co. specializing in auctions ofyes, real estate and government surplus. He has already been penalized for

Florida State ethics violations in 2007 by doing city business as Mayor with his

own auction company. So it is no surprise that Lamar Fisher and the Pompano

Beach Commission are in a massive fight to block the adoption of a City ethics

code for Pompano Beachs public officials.

Even now Lamar Fisher while at the same time Mayor, is currently

auctioning foreclosures in Florida for the profit of his nationwide company and

huge lenders. In January of this year, Lamars Auction Company also profited

from the ponzi scheme of Floridians as his company received 10% of proceedsfrom auctioning off former Fort Lauderdale attorney and $1.2 billion dollar Ponzi

schemer, Scott Rothsteins office effects.

Back in 2005, Lamar Fisher was also found to have violated the Floridas

Government in the Sunshine Law (or Open Meetings Law) for meeting in private

with then Sheriff Ken Jenne (who would later be sentenced to a year in prison on

federal racketeering corruption charges) before a vote to extend the citys contract

with Jennes office. Yet so far, Lamar has always seemed to escape any real

punishment, able to buy his way out of trouble in fines and receiving only slaps on

the wrist while still remaining in office.

That is, perhaps until now. Recently the Mayors resignation has been

openly demanded in televised Pompano Beach Commission Meetings by scores of

citizens and justice groups looking to stop the racketeering and restore a

government of the people for the people in Pompano. Also, the Supreme Court of

Florida has recently convened the 19th Statewide Grand Jury on Public Corruption

to root out the corruption epidemic in Florida, and thanks to FBI stings, those

close to Fisher have been recently sent to jail for fraud and bribery, such as

Vincente Thrower, an advisor to the Community Redevelopment Agency.

As far as the eminent domain fraud, it has come out in the way of letters

about the eminent domain takings as well as the findings of the courts denying

Fishers Community Redevelopment Agency seizure of property for lack of

authority that the Mayor knew of the abuse of public office and the illegality of the

takings. Yet Fisher is continuing the same crimes to this day, specifically in taking

of the aforementioned landmark property in Pompano Beach CRA v Gil Eriksen

Properties, a case that has been also called out for obstruction of justice on the part

of the Community Redevelopment Agency, the City Attorney Gordon Linn, and

case attorney Mitchell J. Burnstein.

It seems now Mayor Fishers influence may have worn out, the emperor is

suddenly without clothes, and even his cronies may not be willing to risk theirnecks to help him out of yet another tough spot.
