Say What Sarnoff?


Miami Commissioner Marc Sarnoff on the proposed 3AM cut-off to sell alcohol in Coconut Grove clubs and bars:

"Coconut Grove needs to start servicing the wealthy people."
HUH??? Maybe I've missed the service to the working-class, low-income residents of The Grove during all my years of growing up there (you know, us on the other side that some wish would go away). Newsflash Commissioner, wealthy people are NOT the only people living in The Grove; in actuality, they are the new-comers. Here's another tip for ya: wealthy people are NOT the only residents concerned about drunk party-goers driving through their streets. Regardless, your mission to push this proposal should be in the best interest of ALL of Coconut Grove's residents. After all, that's who you represent. I'm pretty sure your intentions aren't as one-sided as they sound.
