A Proposal that Backfired
A proposal to build a vocational high school on county land next to the fairgrounds has been met with resistance from County Mayor Sara Baxter. The plan was initially supported by Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, but he later changed his mind, leaving activist Jorge Garrido without a clear path forward.
What Happened
- Jorge Garrido had initially secured Sheriff Ric Bradshaw’s support for the proposal.
- Garrido then lost that support, leaving him without a clear plan for the vocational school.
- The sheriff’s office is set to use the land for its own purposes, but it appears that the plan has been scrapped.
A Billionaire’s Bid for Congress
Meanwhile, billionaire philanthropist and businessman Michael Bloomberg has announced his candidacy for Congress in Florida. Bloomberg, who made his fortune with his eponymous software company, is known for his progressive policies and commitment to social justice.
Policing Breakthrough for PEACE
A new policing strategy developed by the Palm Beach County Police Department’s PEACE unit has been hailed as a breakthrough in community policing. The program uses data-driven approaches to reduce crime and improve relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
