Now that matchups (or lack thereof) are set for mayor and city commission in Wilton Manors, we’re getting a look at how much financial support each is getting. Candidates have filed their second quarter financials, spanning April 1 through June 30.
Welcome to the Wilton Manors Gazette where we cover all things Wilton Manors and Oakland Park.
Residents of Wilton Manors overwhelmingly love their police department, and are willing to pay more to keep the service. That’s according to an exclusive new survey conducted by The Gazette.
Days after questions were raised about his eligibility to run for re-election, Wilton Manors Mayor Scott Newton addressed the issue during a campaign event.
With three months left in the budget year, Wilton Manors is rearranging the budget to fit reality. At their meeting on June 25, the commission unanimously approved changes to various city funds.
Wilton Manors’ police department is facing major staffing shortages; nearly a third of sworn officer positions are open and more possibly on the way. Many are leaving for better pay and cheaper living in Palm Beach County.
They’re starting to say the quiet part out loud. They’re not shouting it or declaring it a fait accompli. But they’re starting to nibble at the edges and think the unthinkable. Can Wilton Manors afford to keep its police department?
