Summary
Okeechobee County commissioners publicly called out racist and ethnic attacks made during a public meeting. It’s a flashpoint in a bigger fight over how public comment is used—and what officials will put up with. Why care? Because local meetings are where residents get heard, and the rules around that are getting tested.
