“No, and the worst part is that not only, you say, the government of Cuba is benefiting from labor. They're oppressed, and then on top of that, THE PEOPLE BENEFITING FROM THIS ARE DIRECTLY THEIR OPPORTUNITIES.”

“And then the second one was in section two, which is on the last page at the top. The expression of support recognition of Cuban Independence Day, supporting Cuban's right to freedom of expression and support for actions taken by U.S. government. The city commission hereby approves this resolution and supports the Cuban people and further urges the U.S. government to such action in support of Cuban sovereignty. And then you had written as determined by the Cuban people. I went back and forth with the city attorney on this to see if maybe we found a better way to write that, simply because I…”

“I think I was actually at the pool the other day, and I was looking at the field. We've got to make sure that when we do these things that we drop. And I want to say it's sand, but I'm probably thinking it wrong. The grass gets all these divots. And if we don't put that filling sand, maybe that's not what it's called. Oh, there you go. Yeah, if we don't keep that a consistent thing that we do, we're going to see people like bending ankles and falling and all of that. So I think while we do have to stay on top of regular minutes, I think that is key.”

“Do you want me to talk about it? Please, yeah. This puts in place primary election procedures. Maybe I'm misreading this, but I'm like, I thought that the way that it runs is everybody runs and whoever wins, wins, right? And now we're saying we want to add a layer to this?”

“I keep hitting this thing. And then the other one, if we decided to go with five, which is just such an easy one, is the amendment two. if we decide to go with five items on the ballot instead of four, that one is just an easy,”

“You guys are really special. Larry and Lisa are special people to me because I know them here, there, everywhere. It's not often you run into people like you guys. And I appreciate you. And I'm thankful that I've gotten to know you and that you'll be here even when you're not here, because your name will be here. Hopefully, Lisa will be able to party, party, because you'll be retired. She can pretend kind of like she's retired. But in all seriousness, I think that you are what most South Miami police officers look up to, or at least should. I think you're a wonderful person who's, you know,…”

“We briefly discussed today that the landscaping around the building is beautiful, but people walk their pets. And so we need somewhere that has grass that is not the dog park so that people can take their pets to go to the bathroom. Like I mentioned to you earlier, I travel with my dog. And I was in Nashville, in downtown Nashville. And the area that I was at, I had to walk two blocks to find a patch of grass for my dog to go to the bathroom. That is, after staying in a hotel, that accepts pets. And so I said, if your building accepts pets, even just service animals, which by law we have to…”

“Yeah, because if I'm not mistaken, between Miller And all the way to Red Road Commons, the only place there is to cross the street is 64. And then 64, you hit the other light and the other light. And I think we've talked about this in the past. It's like Frogger. These kids are just jumping around.”
