Beverly Kennedy, a 30 year experienced Financial & Strategic Planner, with 22 years of consulting for the past 2 Clerks of Court has announced her success at several Democratic clubs. Her 4 year Strategic Plan of the return of Democratic"checks & balances"for the people of Broward County has been realized. Now Kennedy works hard every day to win the Democratic nomination to become the first Broward County Clerk of the Circuit Court, as the public trustee and auditor, August 14th, 2012.
Kennedy's priorities as the new Clerk of the Circuit Court:
#1. to bring back Democratic civil rights which have been taken away from the Clerk's office workforce 6 years ago; and to give back to Broward County the democratic principles of public service and Constitutionally mandated government "Checks and Balances" for the people .
Kennedy's Solutions for Improvements !
- (A) remove the "without cause" dismissal direction from the incumbent Clerk of Courts' Employee handbook.
- (B) remove the"at will " unconstitutional employee status mandate imposed by the incumbent's administration.
- (C) initiate a fair "Collective Bargaining" process ( State Clerk's Assoc. & State Public employee union approved) .
- (D) initiate an efficient complaint process directly to a new "Kennedy"Courthouse system that will immediately help the public and the legal community report, rectify, and correct: Court administration errors, corruption reported about falsified documents, obstruction of justice, and clerical mistakes, or poor service.
- (E) provide free handicap & suitable senior parking with safe drop off areas; and free wheelchair availability at all Broward courthouses.
# 2. Kennedy will bring back the foundations of a Democracy..."Checks & Balances" to Broward County's Justice and Government oversight; which has been missing for 11 years ! This will ensure the people's voting rights and not lobbyist's priorities are restored permanently. This is a very important duty of the Clerk of Circuit Court, as a Constitutional Officer! Also, the County Auditor department should be under the responsibilities of the Clerk of the Circuit Court for "checks & balances" ; but it is not! Kennedy's experiences as a Public Trustee are needed now! Kennedy, as an experienced strategic financial planner, wants to help avoid further expensive problems without County budget oversight. The County neglect of Engineering procedures and project oversight and the improper maintenance of county courthouses and government buildings are also obvious. The proposed new Courthouse downtown Fort Lauderdale project must now be rebid all over again ! The problems because of the lack of planning for in ground plumbing and sewer line infrastructure renovations and professional maintenance & cleaning up rodent, mold, and plumbing problems of the Courthouses, have not been rectified for the last 6 years. The lack of common sense solutions are so obvious!
Problems like the lack of updated electronic filing and administrative technology procedures in our Broward Court systems all have been identified and changes are being initiated statewide by the Florida Supreme Court; thanks to Kennedy's communications skills on her web pages the last 4 years! She has led the reform for greater transparency of the Court's budgets and expenses also! Kennedy also helped lead the the transparency of www.flclerks.com!
