Stockade off Limits

Good morning, Moon children. For you today, a scuttled vocational school near the fairgrounds, a billionaire philanthropist for Congress, a policing breakthrough for PEACE, a Community Voices report on Riviera Beach and a red-sauce chef in Jupiter. Read more at BocaVibe.com.

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.
