Controversy has struck the Pembroke Park commission once again as former mayor and current commissioner Geoffrey Jacobs faces accusations of mishandling public funds. An investigation by the Broward County Office of Inspector General (OIG) alleges that Jacobs inappropriately spent over $10,000 on a 2022 holiday party aboard a luxury yacht-a sum he authorized without the required approval from the town commission. As reported by NBC Miami, the OIG found that this purchase was not only costly at roughly $440.63 per person for the 24 guests in attendance but also bypassed established procedures intended earnestly to protect taxpayer money.
