Who's to blame for CRA




In light of the devastating City of Homestead CRA audit performed by Miami Dade County's Audit and Management Services Cathy Jackson, there have been no public comments by former Homestead Mayor Roscoe Warren. All of the activities cited occurred under his administration and were managed by Curt Ivy and Rick Stauts.




When the Homestead City Council Internal Auditor got too close to the CRA inner workings he was put on leave and subsequently fired by the Fab Five Council who voted for those same audit highlighted activities. As a matter of fact Rick Stauts was cited by the Ethics Commission for his wife having a business in the Carrie Meek Business Incubator. That was one of the Internal Auditor findings as well as Miami Dade's Audit and Management Services.



Submit a question and who knows maybe the minions will answer for the former Mayor, who certainly has no obligation to answer any inquiry. By the way, where is the media? Maybe they are both waiting for this CRA audit to blow over before any answers are forthcoming. $1.2 MM unaccounted for, that is the question we should all ask, how did it happen? Lynda Bell is what happened.

FYI   At the time that all this fraud was taking place Mrs Holly than thou Lynda Bell was our vice Mayor. Why no mention of that? Why no inquries and media attention focusing on the corrupt doings of our former vice Mayor and mayor for what she and her friends did to our city? If she wasn't involved, Why didn't she blow the whistle, her being a born again christian and all that crap.

Curt Ivy was a paid employee at the time, who was Ivey to question the very people who could hire or fire him? When in that position you do your job and try not to piss off the boss. No one knew what Rossco was up to but Lynda and Rick. Everyone was fooled.

The media will not touch this one. There is no reporter who can fit the pueces together.

Who is to blame ? Everyone who either voted for or benefited from the shotgun houses, the makeover and any other questionable CRA funding or hiring during the 5 years covered by the audit. There are issues in the audit ... technical compliance stuff that I wonder if the city attorneys should have caught.
