“As a city, I'm saying for those of us who live through the racetrack issues. And I know Commissioner Clark lived through it on the Eastside Residence Association. We lived up here repeatedly for many, many meetings. This is a credit to each of the commissions before who stood strong to city staff who refused to agree and continued to fight back against that. And Pinnacle has a great track record here in the City of Sunrise, as I've explained to you. We were fortunate not too long ago that one of the aides to a congressional representative, grew up in the pinnacle that you approved and talked…”

“All right. This is a topic that is worthy of the time being dedicated here tonight and one that is part of a larger discussion that we're all struggling with and that is technology in our lives. We're not struggling with technological advancement of the Walkman to the iPod. We're struggling with far deeper concerns, from AI and the impact on our economy, on our workforce, and even our own safety, to the expansion of technology tools used by both private and state actors. How many of us have walked into a store and surprisingly received a coupon or an email or a text from that store, and we…”
