FULL VIDEO OF GREGORY EDWARDS FINAL MOMENTS

During a workshop meeting on Monday, the council revisited the issue of finding long-term leadership. While Councilman Langevin proposed former City Manager Gregg Lynk for the position, his recommendation was not supported, given Lynk’s controversial past, including allegations of bribery that led to his firing in 2020.

Those of us who seek to represent our fellow residents in government must search to find meaningful solutions, which gives residents confidence and hope that the dream is within reach. Our government is beholden to self-interests and not the interests of what will grow our economy. We need to make it possible for residents to make the investment leading to home ownership and better communities. 

Palm Bay Fire Chief Richard Stover stated, “The opening of Fire Station 7 will significantly improve the response times for our citizens and visitors in this rapidly growing part of our city. Our members are excited to have the opportunity and ability to increase citizen engagement from a modern facility that was designed to meet the needs of our community and the firefighters living there. None of this could have taken place without the continued support of our Mayor, City Council, and City Manager.”
