Mike Greene issued a brief comment about the gentrification of Parramore and the lack of leadership in the Black community.
As I ran for Sheriff last year, and I will again in 3 years, I was the loudest voice who publicly stated what I saw.
As I was labeled an "outsider" because I was a relatively new resident, I explained that a fresh set of eyes and no connection to Orlando politicians was needed. I announced what I saw.
I saw Parramore fading. I saw Parramore residents voting for leaders that were actually the ones pushing residents of Parramore out. Voting for people like Daisy Lynum was a kiss of death.
I hold no political ties, and I call it like I see it because I'm not a politician. I'm a veteran law enforcement officer who recognizes the destruction of a community when I see it. Parramore will be gone within the next 10 to 15 years.
Mark my words. Residents MUST vote into office true leaders who aren't looking for a nice paycheck and power if they want to stop this and also have a better way of life.
