The Florida Ethics Commission on October 19, 2018 voted to find probable cause that the former Mayor of Boca Ratón committed eight (8) ethics violations.
The Commission's September 24, 2018 press release (today) states:
In a complaint filed against SUSAN HAYNIE, former Mayor of Boca Raton, the Commission found probable cause on eight allegations of violations of the ethics laws.
Five of the allegations pertained to Ms. Haynie filing inaccurate financial disclosure forms for 2012-2016. Probable cause also was found to believe she misused her position to conceal a business relationship with the Batmasians and acted to benefit her and her husband's businesses and the businesses of the Batmasians. Probable cause also was found to believe she voted on matters she knew would inure to the special private gain or loss of herself, her husband, or business associates and principals. The Commission also found probable cause on an allegation that she had a conflicting contractual relationship because of her business relationship with the Batmasians and their companies while they or their representatives appeared before the city council.
Footnote: St. Augustine Beach Commissioner RICHARD BURTT O'BRIEN's alleged financial disclosure violations remain to be heard -- the October 19, 2018 hearing only reached his letter to County Commission on behalf of the St. Augustine Beach Civic Association.
