Joe Campbell is a Palm City resident and is concerned about kids riding around the areas on e-bikes and e-scooters without knowing the rules of the road. He has lived in Martin County for 25 years and used to work in fire rescue for over 30 years.
"It's not a matter of if a child gets killed on an e-bike, it's a matter of when," Campbell said.
Campbell wants the commissioners to invest time into finding ways to further enforce e-bike regulation, and hopes that parents are more aware of the dangers of young children on these vehicles.
Michael Wisowaty spoke with Reporter Jaime Ostroff about a utility pole leaning over his girlfriend's home. He tried for years to get the problem fixed on his own, hopeful when a crew came out to install a new pole, but it has now been months and the old pole is still there. Wisowaty worries for him and his girlfriend's safety.

Also, thank you to everyone who visited us at our last Let's Hear It community meet-ups on Dec. 16 at Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control and the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast.
It was there that Lieghann Fischer, who lives in Palm Beach County, spoke to WPTV Anchor Ashley Glass about the need for Palm Beach County Animal Control to undergo renovation.
Fischer expressed the need for the county to allocate funds for improvements and updates to the shelter.
