  His people arent happy because they have to work now. They are mad because he put in a system where workers are tracked. They just cant come and go as they please anymore. Even worse is now the money taken in by the clerks office is accounted fore. The employees are mad because the ability to steal is gone. For years everyone knew Lockwood nor Kennedy could not stop the stealing go on there.
  
  I for one am glad he was able to run his office not wasting money and being able to give money back to the State. Are we really faulting him for being efficient?
  
  Face it not much is going to change. Typical state/county employees most are lazy who work for crap wages with great benefits.
  
  Someone on the other thread complained about dockets on line. That is not a Clerk issue, but a Circuit issue. Tobin claims that he is going to put this stuff on the Circuit website. I am sure that is coming along with a Magistrate Judge, County Judges picking their Admin Judge, Judicial Rotation, and the Easter Bunny.
  
  Sadly, this is a good thread but JAAB shows it immaturity by posting an insulting picture with Forman. Maybe they should post some pics of the JAAB elite with mocking photos. Ivashuk with Skeletor. Marshall with Barry Manilow. Bill with pic of a crying baby.

  I'm offended you want to put that anti-global warming hack Ivashuk next to my picture. I only wanted to destroy He-Man and take control over the Castle Grayskull and all of Eternia. Jeff just takes out Small Claims Court Judges to lunch. Ewww....creepy.
  
  Given his former employment, wouldn't it be better to put Jeff next to a photo of Chris Farley doing the Chippendales audition?

  Why would you put a picture of Marshall next to me? Oh wait...nevermind....ha ha....very funny....
  
  Maybe you'd go with Streisand instead....
  
  Not that there is anything wrong with that.

  Don't put Bill next to me...wah wah.....
  
  If you want to put him next to a real crying baby....stick him next to a photo of Craig E. taken just after: (1) he realized he had been booted by his friends at JAAB in favor of the ponytailed media whore; or (2) after he realized his $20k was being used to buy ROC Court Guy a new wardrobe.

  Forman works in concert with the judges. There's no desire to update or provide information to anyone. That way it continues to protect the status quo and bog down the system at the same time. Broward's a Banana Republic and likely to remain so until the whole thing is busted open. Graft, corruption, back room deals ... it's all there.

  Thanks to Howard Forman's good business practices, Broward County is able to fund court projects that other counties have lost. The position of County Clerk involves much more than meets the eye and but for Howard Forman's collection practices and diligence, Broward County public defender, state attorney, law library and legal aid would be in major trouble.

  Apologist, how much did it cost to get a case on the secret docket? [a shining example of his sound business practices?] Does Forman care to elaborate on court appointment wheel abuse and the fleecing of this circuit? Is he ever going to cough up the records?

  Forman has the records as Bill knows. They are available the issue is who is going to pay for the manpower and the cost of the copies of the volumes of records. It is right in the public records statute that no gov entity has to pay the costs. Maybe Jaab should use some of their money to cover the costs. not like they are doing anything else with it.

  Too many nicknames on this BLOG now. Who is "Apologist"? Seems like someone got a new nickname.
  
  And since you're making accusations of someone paying (and Forman taking) money to get a case on a "secret docket" (which sounds like the offering and acceptance of a bribe by a government official), why don't you have the cajones to make those allegations publicly and "name names" versus doing it by innuendo here?
  
  Oh wait, you must be one of the head JAABers. They don't make formal complaints....they just whine like crying babies on the blog. They don't affect change by having the stones to put their money where their mouths are in a formal complaint. It would take away from their BLOGGING time.
  
  I guess the Chippendales don't like dancers with tiny stones.

  Not all public employees are lazy. The truth of the matter is that Broward County is advancing and becoming larger. There is a need for certain change. I believe that most clerk employees understand that. It's when you have supervisor, managers, and directors that abuse their employees, employees that constantly work themselves to the bone and cannot pay your bills, and when you have employees that have made their job with the Clerk's office a career and cannot advance because people are being hired from outside with little to no experience. Morale is low because members of administration and management make it quite clear that they have a low opinion of the employees. It would also not surprise if it were so that the person that posted the prior comment and called clerk employees lazy was a member of clerk management. Hint: Buzz words - tracked and efficient All words all too familiar to the lowly public servants that cant parent their children sometimes due to the stresses and abuse that they endure during the day just to be able to feed them. I invite anyone to fill those shoes.

  Anonymous 11/13 6:33 P.M.- Sounds just like something Forman's administration would write about thier employees. Thought it might be Iris but she was busy in Georgia closing on her second home. Must be nice to have access to unlimited funds. The clerks are not mad for having to work obviously they are grateful to have jobs. Being tracked by Stronmberg does not stop the few that may take advantage of time. As you can clock back in and leave again, what a waste of money. The clerks are frustrated from the unprofessional attitude that comes from Forman's administration. That is not to include the majority of the supervisors and management. I for one have had great experiences with them (glad to see Kimberly Purcell gone) she was a hire by Iris who was later fired for stealing sick time, not a bargaining unit employee. The stealing goes up the latter not down. Although we are unfamiliar with the new supervisors that Orfie and Pat Mosley have hired off the street without posting inhouse.
  Also found out they are posting on Monster.com rather than local papers. Is that tax payer money they are using?
  
  Doing such a thing is just another example of how they feel of their long time employees that have the hands on experience and years in the office.
  
  In reference to efficiency, what a joke. Iris hired her nail technician's husband at $8,000.00 more per year than the starting pay who had no experience (a bargaining unit position that is non-negotiable). How is that being efficient? That is just one example of the Clerk's favortism that has been shown along with the recently hired friends and few family members that his admin has hired as supervisors. Wonder what pay they started at? Howie I know your busy politicking are you aware of what they are doing? The employees are.
  
  So before you start comming down on employees attitudes you need to take a look at yourselves. Show some respect and appreciation to your online employees.

  The former Director of the Felony Division, Kimberly Pursell, was not fired. She was the best thing that ever happened to the messed up Clerks office. She changed several policies that were out dated and made things better for everyone including the employees. while she was on a medical leave Dian Diaz and Iris fired several of the felony staff employees. When you talk about the problem you need to be looking in the right places.
