The role of government is to protect its citizens.


This basic concept applies to local state and local government as well. North Bay Village residents will be placed at a disadvantage and could face possible dangers that could be a matter of life and death if the planned cuts to the fire department and fire rescue take place. Our Village has an elementary school, multiple day care schools and a senior citizens facility all of which will be placed at risk should an emergency arise and help is not available or  takes too long to get here. We have multiple high rise condos and apartment buildings that could suffer should an emergency arise and help is delayed.  Mr. Kevin Vericker has published all the stats and North Bay Island Commissioner Richard Chervony has clearly explained what these cuts could mean to North Bay Village residents.  On Tuesday August 27, 2013 at 6:00 pm there will be a meeting to decide the future of engine 27 at  Little Haiti Cultural Center 212 - 260 NE 59 Terrace Miami, FL 33137. 

I will not be able to attend because our neighborhood crime watch meeting had been previously set up for the same day. I am asking all our North Bay Village residents to answer the call and attend this crucial and deciding meeting. Please be there and let Mayor Carlos A Gimenez know that this is a dangerous and intolerable choice that affects the safety of us all in North Bay Village.

Honesty Opinionating

PUTTING NORTH BAY VILLAGE FIRST
