Public comment at the Collier County Board of County Commissioners meeting Tuesday was heated over the discussion of an ordinance proposal.
More than 100 people appeared at the meeting to debate a proposal to make the county a “Bill of Rights sanctuary county.” Commissioners ended up voting 3-2 against a resolution for the proposal.
“This could affect our voting rights,” said Janet Hoffman, the co-president of the League of Women Voters of Collier County. “It could easily affect our intra and interstate commerce.”
People indicated the idea behind this proposal is a political move, but James Rosenberger, who started this, claims it’s bipartisan. He told us his hope is to protect everybody’s civil rights regardless of political party.
