RE: Ethics Violation Against Broward Clerk of the Court Howard Padding the Numbers

Forman

Dear Sir or Madam:

Please accept this letter as my formal complaint against Broward Clerk of the Court Howard Forman forpossible violation of the State of Florida ethics law.

In support of this allegation, I offer the following for your consideration.

1. On Formans 2012 Form 6 Disclosure of Financial Interests, he claims a net worth of $89,000 anda home worth $250,000.

2. Not. True.3. Ive calculated his homes value at $164,830, meaning he overinflated his assets by $85,170,

putting his actual 2012 net worth at $3,380.4. Forman swore an oath that the information disclosed is true, accurate, and complete.5. Pun!6. For the record, the Broward County Property Appraisers 2012 Assessed Just Value was

$164,830.

Bingo. Theres a violation!

Therefore, I ask the Florida Commission on Ethics to fully investigate this matter, and where appropriate,apply the applicable sanctions, fines, kicks in the ass, and if necessary, send Forman to the timeout chair.

I stand ready to assist.

Happy hunting;
