Former Wilton Manors Mayor Justin Flippen died of a brain aneurysm while en route to his City Commission meeting on February 25, 2020. He was 41. SFGN asked Julie Carson, his friend and fellow commissioner to write a tribute.

The rules regarding board attendance may get stricter soon. At their June 14 meeting, commissioners debated the possibility of allowing for the removal of a board member if he or she misses three consecutive meetings.

Julie Carson’s 2020 latest campaign began in a straightforward fashion — a familiar run for re-election to the Wilton Manors City Commission.  

Dear Rep. LaMarca, Thank you for taking the time to talk with me.

Somewhat at a loss of words to describe the morning after Election Day.

At the last Zoom City Commission meeting in Wilton Manors, I raised my hand to speak during public comment.
