That is the proposed new department to be created in the City of Pompano Beach to continue the sharing of resources to improve the community. A Rick Case Habitat Commu- nity Officials said it took several years to purchase the vast space, one acre at a time. But the plot is set and the City of Pompano Beach will once again partner with private corporations to provide affordable housing. Albeit, in the Northwest side again. Car dealership owners Rick and Rita Case, donated $500,000 to the project and it will be name for the couple. Future homeowners and Habi- tat volunteers will soon begin working together to build the 77 residences. Donations from the Cases and others, including WSVN, helped clear one of the toughest obstacles: finding prop- erty to build on. “It’s becoming less and less affordable.

The American Electoral sys- tem was again upset by a large divergence of the popular vote and the electoral vote. Cities have exploded with racial tension between law enforcement and citizens. And Mother Nature is really upset and seemingly trying to rid the planet of the human species. Again. At least She entertained us pre-storms with a solar eclipse. Then again, we’ve seen the same type of periods in the past we’ve come out strong as a nation, on the other side of the tri- als.
