Tonight at 6:30pm, Palm Bay Mayor Capote will be giving the annual State of the City Address and Council Chambers. At the same time, a peaceful protest has been scheduled by citizens to voice their opinions about some of the revelations that have come out in the David Isnardi case.

The protest is scheduled to begin at 6:00pm and go on until the start of the regular scheduled City Council meeting at 7:00pm.

Evidence that has come out from the discovery in the Isnardi case shows confessions of wrongdoing from current and former Councilmen and former city employees. Some citizens have called for the resignation of certain Councilmen on social media.

Thomas Gaume, a candidate running for Seat 3, Councilman Brian Anderson’s seat, has been reading the investigative report on a loud speaker and handing out copies of it in front of City Hall. Allegations in the report stem from campaign finance violations, bribery, extortion, drug charges, and even prostitution linked all the way to State Representative Randy Fine and his friend and former Councilman Tres Holton according to statements from the FBI.

Ahead of the address tonight, Mayor Capote says he is thankful for the privilege of serving Palm Bay for the last 12 years total and 8 years as the Mayor. He feels we are better and our growth as a city has increased exponentially than before he became Mayor.

“YOU CAN’T CONTROL EVERYTHING, AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD. I DID WHAT I COULD WITHIN THE LIMITS OF MY POWER TO GET RID OF THE BAD”
Palm Bay Mayor William Capote

🚨 Trump Administration Announces it won't Tap Emergency Funds to Pay Food Aid (SNAP)The Trump administration has announced it will not use emergency funds to pay for November’s SNAP (food stamp) benefits while the government remains unfunded. The decision means that unless Congress passes a funding bill soon, more than 42 million Americans could miss the assistance they rely on to buy food. Speaker Mike Johnson has cancelled all votes for the remainder of October. A memo from the U.S. Department of Agriculture explains that the agency’s contingency fund is not legally available to cover regular monthly benefits without an approved federal budget. However, critics argue that this is a policy choice rather than a strict legal restriction, and that the administration could act to prevent widespread hardship.The move comes as the federal government shutdown continues into late October, with no immediate sign of a budget agreement. If the stalemate drags on, states will be unable to process or distribute November benefits, leaving millions of families, children, veterans, and seniors without critical food assistance.Advocates say this could become one of the most severe social impacts of the shutdown, affecting grocery stores, food suppliers, and local economies as well. Others believe the decision is meant to pressure Congress to reach a deal rather than relying on stopgap emergency measures.Should the government use emergency funds to keep food on the table for struggling Americans, or should this remain Congress’s responsibility to fix?#SNAP #FoodAssistance #GovernmentShutdown #USDA #TrumpAdministration #HungerCrisis #SpaceCoastRocket ...
