County has paid for old vacant office for a year
Alian Alejandro Collazo doesn’t seem like a likely candidate for Florida House District 115, which serves the Kendall area. The 29-year-old grew up in the Tampa/St. Pete area, where he claims to own a business. He graduated from a Pinellas County high school. His cell phone still has the 727 area code.
And up until about a month ago, Collazo was registered to vote in Largo, Florida, the fourth largest city in the Tampa Bay Area.
After voting to curtail protests in the light of recent pro-Palestine demonstrations, the city of Miami Beach could now limit free speech at commission meetings as well.
