The residents of Highland Beach suffered a great loss and shock last week when suddenly and unexpectedly Geoffrey Vanore the much respected and liked building inspector and head of the THB Building Department was fired by the Town Manager Dale Sugarman under the pretext of not "doing his paperwork".
We know that this was just pretext for Sugarman to get rid of Geoffrey Vanore - the question is WHY and was there another reason for this untimely and unnecessary dismissal? Not even the Mayor was consulted before Sugarman made a "feta complis" and Geoffrey was out.
All HB residents and those honest contractors can
attest that Vanore was a straight shooter and
went by the book- everyone was equal before the Law and he upheld and defended the Towns written
codes without bending to outside influences or
compromising his position. He spent the extra time to help and assist residents and contractors to understand what was required and stipulated under the law and he was respectful and friendly to all who dealt with him and his office.
The loss of Vanore only once again proves that the government of Highland Beach is not working for their residents or for the good of the community- based on word on the street rumors,the THB government has for many years lived with the stigma of corruption especially with reference to construction projects- Finally this stigma could have been erased by having a respected and honest building official- SO what REALLY IS THE REASON BEHIND THIS FIRING??
