The proposed constitutional amendment known as Amendment 4 would allow abortions up to about the 24th week of pregnancy, just as Florida law had allowed up until Gov. Ron DeSantis enacted a 15-week abortion ban in 2022.
On May 1, DeSantis’ six-week abortion ban became law; many women and girls at that point don’t even know they are pregnant.
History proves that people are going to continue to need abortion access.
FORT LAUDERDALE — A mammoth apartment complex with enough units for nearly 1,000 families would bring new life to a forlorn property that served as one of Fort Lauderdale’s largest mobile home parks for nearly six decades.
The Pan American Estates trailer park, once home to more than 200 families, would be transformed by a new 25-acre development that calls for 10 buildings ranging from five to eight stories.
Q: Would you agree that we are the eighth best team in the East, with seven teams in the West probably better than we are? We’re not even close to sniffing a title, and there are not one or two moves that are going to get us there. Would you agree that the mentality of us being close is holding us back?
Pier Sixty-Six, the landmark that rises high and stands out with its crown of spires, could be deemed a historic structure in Fort Lauderdale, preserving it forever.
The Fort Lauderdale City Commission is scheduled to vote Tuesday to give the property’s original tower a “historic designation as a historic landmark,” keeping the 1950s-era exterior intact, according to city records.
It’s considered important for its historic associations with the Phillips Petroleum Company.
“It is one of the most, if not the most, recognizable and significant structures in Fort Lauderdale and represents an important historical time in our city’s history,” said Vice Mayor Steven Glassman.
The public meeting will be at 6 p.m.
