“It's been a while now, so it's time for a rant. Continuity. Continuity is defined as the unbroken and consistent existence or operation of something over time or a state of stability and the absence of disruption. In North Bay Village, we operate in a sense of discontinuity, the exact opposite. We work hard, and in the end, after a lot of sacrifice, we make it look good and fait accompli, and we pat ourselves on the back. But being realistic and totally frustrated, we need to do and be better. Since August 15th, 2024, the Village was shaken up with Ralph Rosado's resignation, and with it,…”

Not necessarily cite them in a violation that they must pay for, but let them be cited and let there be a record at city hall that we have cited them because there should be open and they're not open. And then we can, you know, there's, we're backing our own actions. for whatever legal actions we need to take next. I'm not talking about suing. I'm not talking about citing them financially, but I…”
