” I AM NOT ASKING ANYONE TO DEFEND ME, I AM ASKING YOU TO JOIN ME AND STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT, WHAT IS JUST.” -CITIZEN ACTIVIST CHAZ STEVENS

CITY OF RIVERSIDE’S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, PAUL SUNDEEN, STATES THERE IS A POTENTIAL  5 MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET GAP HEADING INTO 2012-2013 FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JULY 1, 2012. CITY MANAGER SCOTT BARBER, STATES IT IS MANAGEABLE, WHILE RESIDENTS REMAIN CRITICAL OF THE CITY’S FISCAL MANAGEMENT.   

Barber and Sundeen have no concerns about how the City will make payments on debt because : a) they are part of the team that created the enormous mountain of debt, and b) the payments on the debt are the responsibility of City taxpayers/ratepayers. Success has many fathers. Failure is an orphan.  -whosincharg, commenter on the PE

In times when the frustration levels is at an all time high, and government trust at a all time low.  The Community looks out for that cape crusader, the captain America who will help them bring justice to a culture of official representatives who have not dutifully represented the community in good faith.  For this reason, TMC salutes Citizen Activist Chaz Stevens, August hero of the month.  Prosecutors secretly admire him. Defense attorneys openly loathe him. And followers of Broward County politics can’t seem to get enough of him. Chaz Stevens noted citizen activist recognized by the community for using email blasts and his personal blog site, My Acts of Sedation,  to keep politicians honest. Since launching his tech-savvy anti-corruption crusade in 2007,  Author Chaz Stevens political muckraking has led to the jailing of three local politicians; including ex-Mayor Al Capellini and former commissioners Stephen Gonot and Sylvia Poitier all on charges of political corruption.

Stevens filed the initial complaint that led to an Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation of Gonot in 2008.  He later followed up with additional  leads for investigators and prosecutors to Assistant State Attorney David Schulson, who had already rested his case but reopened it to share the new evidence with the jury.  Stevens’ tip to Schulson: that Gonot had flown to Las Vegas to participate in a poker tournament the morning after his best friend had cashed a $5,100 campaign check at the center of the state’s theft and misconduct charges.

Stevens has also been credited with with leads to financial investigators which ultimately led to an audit by the U.S. Housing and Urban and Development’s Office of Inspector General, which ordered the city to repay $224,000 in grants after finding that Poitier and another commissioner, Gloria Battle, had violated federal regulations intended to curb special interests.

His feats of activism have captured the attention of the South Florida media, including a MiamiHerald front-page profile about Chaz’s tech-savvy anti-corruption crusade.
