She was charged with six felony counts, including two counts of bribery, in June 2010, and was acquitted of all charges on Dec. 11th.
During the trial, convicted real estate developers Bruce and Shawn Chait testified that they paid $6,300 in exchange for Atkin-Grad's vote. The pair was seeking city approval to develop two golf courses in Tamarac between 2005 and 2010. Atkins-Grad declined to testify.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott issued an executive order revoking her suspension last month.
