It turns out that the City of Lauderdale Lakes...

The city in Broward County that is asking for a bailout from the County won an award for their budgetary accounting...not unlike the one that the City of Lake Worth was presented at the last City Commission meeting.  Lauderdale Lakes is being accused of not being forthcoming with its actual financial condition over the years, leading to the current City Commission throwing a past City Manager under the bus.  See previous post.

It seems, then, that the winning of this "award" has little to do with sound fiscal and financial management practices.  It was clear that at our City Commission meeting this was being treated as some sort of vindication for the current administration.
