School Plan Booted
A proposal to build a vocational high school on county land next to the fairgrounds pits a political activist against County Mayor Sara Baxter. First, activist Jorge Garrido had Sheriff Ric Bradshaw’s support to give up 11 acres at the shuttered stockade, which is set aside for the sheriff’s use.
- Garrido believed that the vocational school would provide much-needed job training and education to local youth.
- However, when Sheriff Ric Bradshaw suddenly withdrew his support, Garrido was left scrambling to find a new partner.
The reason for Bradshaw’s sudden change of heart is still unclear, but sources close to the sheriff suggest that he may have had second thoughts about the project due to concerns over land use and zoning regulations.
Billionaire Philanthropist for Congress
Meanwhile, billionaire philanthropist and businessman, Michael Bloomberg, has announced his candidacy for Congress in Florida. Bloomberg, who made his fortune in finance and founded the data analytics firm, Bloomberg LP, is known for his progressive policies on issues such as gun control and climate change.
Policing Breakthrough for PEACE
PEACE (Police-Engaged Community Engagement) has announced a major breakthrough in its policing program. According to officials, the new initiative will focus on building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. The program aims to address issues of racial profiling and police brutality through community-based training and outreach.
