Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight to pay tribute to the city of West Miami in recognition of its 70th anniversary. What began as a small town of 700 residents has flourished into a haven for nearly 7,000 south Floridians, including my constituents, Senator Marco Rubio and Miami-Dade County commissioners and former West Miami Mayor Rebeca Sosa, who are proud to call West Miami home. While the city itself is less than 1 square mile, the tremendous growth that has graced West Miami in the past 70 years has led to the creation of some of the finest public parks and summer camps in our State. To celebrate its founding, local officials, businesses, residents, and their families will gather together on Saturday, April 8, at Cooper Park, in celebration of this incredible milestone. I am honored to represent the city of West Miami, and I thank all who have dedicated countless hours to making this corner of south Florida special for all of us to enjoy. ____________________
