  • OIG 17-023 Final Report
    BROWARD OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL MEMORANDUM To: Honorable Dean Trantalis, Mayor, City of Fort Lauderdale and Members, City of Fort Lauder City Commission From: John W. Scott, Inspector General Date: February 27, 2019 Subject: OIG Final Report Re: Misconduct by a City of Fort Lauderdale Employee Who Lied to Qualify For and Keep His Position As City Treasurer, Ref. O/G 17-023 Attached please find the final report of the Broward Office of the Inspector General (OIG) regarding the above-captioned matter. The OIG determined that Ash Benzo, the city's former treasurer, knowingly made several materially false statements in his employment applications in an effort to appear qualified for the position when he was not. After the city hired Mr. Benzo, he engaged in misconduct by maintaining the fac;:ade of a qualified employee for over one year. As a result of Mr. Benzo's fabrications, the city paid him at least $118,040 in salary as well as provided him with other employment-related payments and benefits. Further, the OIG determined that the city' s then Deputy Finance Director conducted a substandard assessment of Mr. Benzo's employment history, achievements, and references. Despite Mr. Benzo's impressive assertions, such as having been involved in the $350 billion merger of AOL and Time Warner, having been responsible for UPS ' s decision to purchase Mail Boxes Etc., and having audited Detroit and other major cities during their bankruptcies, the Deputy Finance Director did not independently vet Mr. Benzo's employment and consulting history. Instead, she chose to ignore these and other red flags, opting to rely on Mr.

    The Honorable Chuck Schumer The Honorable Mitch McConnell Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate The Capitol, S-221 The Capitol, S-230 Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Re: Over 100 Mayors Call for Background Checks Legislation Dear Senators, The mass shootings in Atlanta and Boulder in recent weeks are a reminder of the vulnerabilities we face when people who should not have guns are able to access them. Every day in our cities and towns, we use all the tools at our disposal to keep guns out of the hands of people who are a danger to themselves or others. But we are in desperate need of the tools only the federal government can provide. We must close the gaping loopholes in our federal laws that have allowed illegal guns to flood our communities for far too long. For this reason, we, the undersigned mayors from across the country, call on U.S. Senators to pass background checks legislation now. Background checks are the backbone of any comprehensive gun violence prevention strategy; they keep our communities safer and are associated with reduced rates of firearm homicide, suicide, and firearm trafficking. We know background checks work and stop sales to prohibited purchasers every day. Since 1994, background checks have blocked over 3.5 million sales to violent criminals and other prohibited people. However, current federal law only requires a background check when a gun seller is a licensed dealer, leaving all other sales, like those negotiated online or at gun shows between perfect strangers, unregulated and unchecked.
