Cheers: To the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys, for its new drive to help build a permanent shelter at the former Keys Overnight Temporary Shelter. Our community is accustomed to raising millions for a variety of causes, including the arts, hurricane relief and the recently completed, state-of-the-art pet shelter. CFFKâs efforts to improve situations for our communityâs homeless are greatly appreciated, as are the efforts of the Cornerstone Resource Alliance, which has taken over management of the shelter.
Jeers: To Monroe County government, as residents wonder about the status of the Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursement for the countyâs overtime request during the first weeks of the coronavirus pandemic. There was a large public outcry at the time, leading to an end to the overtime pay, and the county administrator said the county would be reimbursed by the federal agency. Now is the time for transparency.
