Omg that's a load of crap. I went through the hiring process 2 months ago, took a stupid test, went to an oral board, PASSED my oral board, and then I was rejected because they found someone else (whom ended up being the mayors son). Now instead of the department going through the 2 month old pile of applicants they post a NEW hiring announcement? That city is corrupt, forget Wilton Manors...Peh.

That's messed up...and yeah Wilton Manors has seen tons of trouble in the last year or so. But as far as the hiring of the Mayor's son, if this is something that can be substantiated you should try to find an attorney to see if there's any legal recourse. I'm sure there are plenty of attorneys that would be willing to take a contingency-based case against a city for employment discrimination. Nothing gets a p.o.s. politician's/ bureaucrat's attention better than a nice lawsuit. Keep us posted.

Thats not exactly true. I know someone that got hired in that last job announcement. He is defiantly not the mayors son.

sorry hit "reply" instead of "edit", disregard

Really? They're "corrupt" because they didn't hire you? Calling a department "corrupt", especially when unfounded, isn't exactly what other departments are looking for in a candidate. The test was "stupid"? Your level of maturity seems to be somewhat lacking. Maybe Dr. Stillman had some well founded reasons for not passing you?

FYI - The mayor's son was not hired and has never worked for WMPD.

took the words right out of my mouth

Granted, bringing a case against an employer for discrimination surrounding nepotism is a tough one, but like I said that's something an attorney would have to research based on its merits. Sometimes a particular act may noy be strictly illegal, but peripheral ones surrounding implementation and procedure are, so that's why professional legal advice is needed in a case like this. I'm not an attorney so I don't have the answer to that, and unless you are one you can't say it can't be done, anymore that I can say it can, with any degree of certainty.

As far as not filing a case against Wilton Manors for fear of retaliation by the LE community, employment-wise, are you kidding me? Are you saying that if you were discriminated against (by them or anyone else, in a general hypothetical sense) you would not defend yourself and do whatever had to be done, because of fear that you would not get an LEO in the future?

If so, that's your prerogative of course, but you can bet your a55 that if I felt discriminated in an employment process I would not hesitate to take whatever legal action needed. It's called doing the right thing.

P.S. And for clarification I am discussing discrimination in general, and the issue of legal recourse and its consequences (real or imaginary), not arguing whether Wilton Manors did or did not commit discrimination.
