Re: Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) v. Gil Eriksen
Properties LLC; Case No. 06-004169 (21)

THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN - GRAND JURY

INVESTIGATION OF SOUTH FLORIDA CORRUPTION
UNDERWAY
Pompano Beach, FL, May 18, 2010 – A long history of untold corruption in
South Florida is starting to be exposed. The illegal taking of private property by
the Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency under the guise of
'eminent domain' while not actually having the right of eminent domain to seize
property, and the complicity of Broward County as a whole in the land grab scam
that has irreparably damaged countless citizens and businesses for the nefarious
profit of the rich and powerful is but one of the abuses of public office being
revealed.
There is a 'new sheriff in town' by way of an anti-corruption grand jury that
has been convened to investigate South Florida's public officials. Governor Crist
requested the Florida Supreme Court empanel the 12-month 19th Grand Jury on
Public Corruption as in recent months FBI investigations have exposed an entire
wave of criminality in the highest seats of South Florida government. Judge Victor
Tobin is presiding over the grand jury and jurors have been chosen from multiple
South Florida districts. Victims of corrupt officials are pleased at the prospect of a
real investigation into the good ole boy (and girl) networks tied to big business and
racketeering that have taken over government at the expense of the people.
Recently a hand-appointed member of the Advisory Board to the Pompano
Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, Vincente Thrower, was arrested for
bribery and unlawful compensation for misusing his position and making deals
with developers and money lenders. Thrower's appointment to that advisory board
was made by current Commissioner and CRA member, Woodrow Poitier, who
himself has also faced FBI investigation in his past position as chairman of the
city's public housing agency who 'misused' one million dollars in federal funding
meant for low-income housing programs. The Pompano Beach City Attorney

Gordon Linn knew of Thrower's extra-curricular 'consulting' work as he is
reported by The South Florida Times to have issued an opinion on it in 2006.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. The current and five year long case of the
Pompano Beach CRA v Gil Eriksen Properties LLC whereby a multi-million
dollar restored historical property was taken without the authority of eminent
domain by a phantom agency, without due process in the Broward Courts, and
with ongoing intimidation of the respondent and efforts to obstruct justice is a
glaring example of the misuse of public office and obliteration of the US
Constitution and Florida state law.
Land grab racketeering has been committed by the Pompano Beach
Community Redevelopment Agency in Broward County Florida for a decade, and
victims want justice. The City of Pompano Beach was not authorized by Broward
County to create the Community Redevelopment Agency, nor pass the City's
power of eminent domain to the agency, or any agency for that matter, and yet the
CRA took private property from citizens unchecked. The Broward Courts didn't
stop it, nor did the Broward County Commission, but the tide may be turning on
corrupt officials in South Florida.
