Just one month after his hiring, Opa-locka City Manager Steve Shiver — the focus of spending audits and ethical scrutiny in assorted past government dealings — has been accused of trying to shake down a local contractor.
George Howard, in a letter obtained by the Miami Herald, contends Shiver solicited a $150,000 bribe in exchange for the city paying his final invoice for work on a sewer project —a $272,000 bill that the manager and Opa-locka City Commission have previously refused to pay.

This is so funny. He was accused of soliciting the bribe for one of the council members? He is so dutiful.
other stories filed under the not if but when category, the NWS reported they are expecting temperatures to cool in South Florida sometime in the next few weeks....;)
That was fast! We knew it would happen eventually but we didn't think he would act this quickly. #SMH
Maybe he was looking for a way to Fund his friends Larry Meno's Campaign in Homestead? Just asking?
...but it's for the Mayor, who just happened to be the swing vote making Shiver the City Manager.
In related news why not just eliminate the middle man like Otis Wallace does in Florida City with a strong mayor government? No need to act on anyone's behalf be selfish all of the time.
How about a crowdsourcing campaign to send Shiver back to Maggie Valley?
He must be there for a reason; maybe he's the cleaner !!,,,,,!,,,,
HUDSTEAD would like to thank Opa Locka for taking him off their hands.
Hay crowdsourcing, above anon. Maggie Valley merchants and sub-contractors would hang him by his feet on the roller-coaster he screwed 'em on.
