Need more of these type of events at Pier Park, a central location with plenty of parking for everyone.
Let’s not be distracted with entertainment as we still have to drive home on terrible roads and failing infrastructure. Our new leaders must be encouraged to have a vision for our territory.
Not just new vehicles for every minister. Let’s spend money on community projects that benefit us all.
