They ultimately approved it on a 5-2 vote. What You Need To Know The Tampa Bay area is home to the third largest population of Cuban-Americans in the U.S. Luis Viera is the son of Cuban refugees Councilman Bill Carlson introduced his own resolution to show support for the Cuban people City Councilman Bill Carlson objected even before Viera officially introduced the resolution, saying the language in it could be used to justify war.
