“Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and look, I think I'm going to borrow a quote from my colleague. I'm not going to tell you I told you so, but I told you so. Years ago when I was in Tallahassee, I organized all the South Dade leaders to push against Foreseeing a mode of transportation particularly the BRT against the wishes of the people. I stood there at that podium and we had all the research we needed to convince the commission then that going opposite of what the people wanted was truly going to be a disaster. We stood at that podium, we gave every reason why rail should have been the preferred…”

“Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and what I'm about to say is probably not going to be popular, and I don't expect to be the popular kid on the dais. But I am putting the county attorney's office on notice. I'm also putting the state on notice. Hell, I'm putting everybody on notice. As a personal person, not as a commissioner of this body. Correct, correct. If removal is what it's going to take to stop me from urging the folk of Miami-Dade County, especially those in my district, who are going to be affected. If removal is the option of the governor, then removal is going to have to be. I intend to…”

“Look, I don't want to inconvenience anyone here, but at the same time, I do know there are individuals from the community that are there. I guess my question is to the county attorney, to the administration. Do we have to suspend this meeting and then bring forth the CRA meeting right now in order to reschedule? All right, when is the next CRA meeting scheduled for?”

“Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to the sponsor of the item. My questions are to the county attorney's office. Help me understand this, because I do have some reservations about what I've heard, and I don't want to create a burden on the folk who are Miami-Dade County residents, but who chooses to live on board, right? So help me understand. The state preempted the municipalities and local government from passing ordinances, laws that would impact those who made that choice, right? But the state also did a carve out that would allow for an exception to the rule. Are we today discussing…”

“Thank you. My next question is to the county attorney's office. We've heard that the municipalities, Actually, I'm looking at here, the municipalities actually have the authority to pass its own legislation to deal with it. How many municipalities have enforced that particular exception?”

“Okay. And I guess my final question is if, And it's not so much a question, it's just so much a perception of what we're doing. I just philosophically disagree that we should turn our full force of the county's weight against individuals who are living on board of a boat because what? I still haven't gotten to that Why are we doing this with the exception of a few photos been shown of other vessels? I'm pretty sure we've found those individuals and prosecuted them for leaking gas into our waterways. But I'm talking, I cannot wrap my hands and my head around the hundreds if not thousands of…”

“Look, I'm, I'm going to be in favor of, of pushing it out based on your representation and your, and I trust that you will deliver the information that we've requested. And I do trust you on that one, but I just want to let you know how this looks in our history. There has been. Movement. Let me just repeat. Let me start all over on this one. I'm going to paint this picture, and I want you to look at this through these lenses. A group of people who are accused of committing crimes on the waterways. Then we pass legislation to push those people out. But we're not pushing them out on land,…”

“Thank you, Commissioner. Vice Chair. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I'll be very brief. Listen to everyone who had a hand in this. This is huge. I'll say it now and I'll say it again. We're going to pass hundreds if not thousands of pieces of legislation from this dais. But I do honestly believe this is going to be one of those most consequential ones that we'll be able to look back on and identify that moment and that memory that actually gave birth to something that so many people in this community definitely need. Secondly, let me just say this, my favorite line in life is, bear one…”
