The Tamarac Commission
approves the wage ordinance
worthy for employees
from the city
The Mayor and the Tamarac City Commission passed a living wage ordinance at the October 28 City Commission meeting that will guarantee the salaries of City employees that would allow them to live in the area.
"South Florida is an expensive place to live and our staff works tirelessly to help the community," said Deputy Mayor Marlon D. Bolton, who proposed the ordinance. "I am pleased that my colleagues have supported this ordinance, which codifies our commitment to providing fair wages."
According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which created a living wage calculator, a living wage refers to a threshold that allows workers and their families to have decent standards of living. It is calculated based on the location.
Currently, the minimum hourly wage Tamarac pays employees is $ 14.64. The City Commission will establish a living wage that will take effect on October 1, 2021.

to control the pandemic of
affects our lives and businesses
On this occasion, In the USA it took the pulse of professionals in various fields and activities in South Florida, and other destinations internationally for being a global pandemic, to know what they have experienced in this quarantine and social distancing; some working from home, others with their businesses running half way to cover only basic expenses, and those with less luck did not receive a salary for the closure of the companies where they provided their services.

In April 2012 I took on the task of writing the novel "The Candidate's Son", which would have a close relationship with the elections that would take place in the United States that year. There was then a growing polarity between the traditional parties. Nothing new, of course.

At the time of Covid-19, a series of unanswered questions comes to mind. What is going to happen in a short time when we come to the complete realization that we are living in one of the most crucial periods in the entire world? I have had to pause to ask myself that question and I discover that life is subject to the ups and downs and chaos of the planet. Spooky!

Since the pandemic began, my work as a Spanish teacher took a turn. I went from teaching in a school to doing it from my own home, in a room that I was turning into a classroom, and through a screen.

No person in the entire history of the United States has done so much damage to democracy as Mitch McConnell who has altered the functioning of the government with his continuous and violating decisions loaded with racism and bigotry.
