Tamarac held its Neighborhood Meeting on Wednesday night where the mayor, commissioner and city staff members discussed the latest projects and future events with the city. Â This particular neighborhood meeting which was held for Tamarac’s District Two was a chance for neighbors to ask newly reinstated Commissioner Patte Atkins-Grad questions for the first time.
Several Woodlands neighbors were in attendance including our Woodlands Homeowner’s Association President Patti Fox, Section 1 President Alan Sloane, Section 3 President Michael Delemma and Section 5 President Bonnie Schultz.
Atkins-Grad read a carefully prepared speech, where she said the one issue that she will not discuss was stepping down, and after she was accused of corruption a jury found her, “innocent of all charges.” Â She never says what she will do for her city or her constituents. Â Never mentioned are what meetings she has attended or anything else she has done since she has been back in office.
Immediately, in defensive mode, Atkins-Grad walked away without so much as applause from the over 100 in attendance.
