One of Broward County's most powerful lobbyists is the target of a smear campaign that alleges she is being investigated for corruption.
Businesses that have used Judy Stern to represent them before the County Commission received letters in the mail last week that purported to be from her. The letters claimed she could no longer represent them because she is about to make a plea deal in a federal investigation into perjury and money-laundering. Signed with her name, the letter said clients should not try to contact her.
Stern did not send the letter and says none of it is true. She is asking the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office to investigate.
"It's someone who is mean-spirited and willing to go to some great lengths," she said.
