Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Florida City. Over the past century, Florida City has grown from a small stop on the road to become the official gateway to paradise. I would like to recognize the city commission, including Mayor Otis Wallace, who has served as mayor for over 30 years, managing the redevelopment of the city after Hurricane Andrew in 1992; R.S. Shiver, the longest serving municipal elected official in Florida; Avis Brown; Sharon Butler; and Eugene Berry. These dedicated public servants are just a few of the many lifelong citizens who have tirelessly worked to improve and grow our community. As we look forward, I know the next 100 years will be filled with success and growth due to the commitment and service of so many over the last 100 years. ____________________
