So much going on in one video.

Two HPD Police cars colliding for speeding in a residential area with no regard for bystanders.

It’s a good thing Homestead City Council approved Chief Knapp’s $44 million dollar budget.

Make sure you Vote YES on Amendment 3 and we guarantee these officers will drive safer.

Vote for Ram he will stop the corruption and put an end to this wasteful spending by HPD.

Allegedly Exit 1 Commissioner Trina Wilborn did what ??

According to reports, One issue is getting some side eye attention that involves potential financial bank fraud concerning Avant School of Excellence and a payment intended for the City of Florida City.

According to allegations on Aug. 14 a letter from Avant School of Excellence CEO Julie Ravenell addressed to Thompson, Poag and Finance Director Chad Burkhalter.

Did you hear Chad is now the New City Manager??

Back to the potential bank fraud…

Records show that Florida City previously made a $12,000 payment towards a lease arrangement and that the account later reflected an overage of $1,600.

Avant issued a $1,600 check payable to the City of Florida City as reimbursement for the overpayment, respectfully.

Ravenell alleges that the check was altered without her knowledge or authorization after it left her possession. A later image of the check appears to contain an additional handwritten payee.

Ravenell also states that Bank of America placed a stop payment for potential fraud and that a replacement $1,600 payment was later issued directly to Florida City.

They do not establish who altered the check or the elected official that committed the wrongdoing.

But you decide…

**BREAKING**

Tonight’s budget discussion brought some important news for Homestead taxpayers: the City Council has decided to keep the millage rate at 4.96 rather than increase it.

At a time when families are already dealing with higher costs for groceries, gas, insurance, housing, and everyday necessities, keeping the millage rate unchanged means residents are not facing an additional millage-rate increase from the City.

But the discussion also raised an important question about priorities.

One recommendation was to postpone hiring, including five proposed positions for the Homestead Police Department. If public safety staffing is being delayed in the name of fiscal responsibility, residents deserve a clear explanation of how that decision was reached and what data is being used to determine staffing needs.

That is especially important given questions surrounding Homestead Police Department’s crime-data reporting. The department has faced issues with its crime reporting system data for 2 years and residents deserve accurate, timely and transparent crime data when decisions about police staffing and public safety are being made.

Tonight’s message is simple: taxpayers are paying attention.

Keeping the millage rate at 4.96 is an important development for Homestead residents.

The City of Homestead constituents WIN!!

Stay safe.
