PAHOKEE, Fla. â Pahokee Commissioner Sara Perez is heated. I won with 65% of the votes and I m doing what the citizens that supported me wanted me to do, she said.
She s unhappy because Mayor Keith Babb adjourned Monday night s commission meeting just as it fell into chaos. This happens every week, she said. That s why we could never get no business done.
Here s why things went haywire at the meeting. Commissioners Perez, Juan Gonzalez and Regina Bohlen decided they wanted to terminate the contract of City Attorney Burnadette Norris-Weeks.
