From a guy who's age starts with 6?

Must be a typical government paperwork error. If that were accurate, they'd be digging around for loose screws to replace or remove. Or be working on my shoulders for weeks at the Vet Clinic or something of that nature.........

Maybe they got our birth certificates switched at birth?

[Serious News]

The city of Miami will spend up to $16 million over the next year to upgrade the grounds outside historic Miami Marine Stadium and host the Miami International Boat Show on Virginia Key in early 2016.

Commissioners voted Thursday to authorize a bond issue to pay for improvements to a 15-acre area outside the waterfront stadium, including seven undeveloped acres to the east of the shuttered venue that will be paved, lined with utilities and covered with artificial turf. Shortly after, they approved a license agreement with the not-for-profit that owns the boat show, which will pay the city $1.1 million per year in rent plus half of net concessions and parking sales from the five-day event.

Commissioners voted unanimously on both the boat show deal and the stadium-grounds upgrades despite criticism from the village of Key Biscayne that the boat show agreement was “rushed.” Commissioner Frank Carollo also said that the deal negotiated with the National Marine Manufacturers Association has no length and could potentially leave the city to finance a $16 million facility without an anchor tenant.

“At this point, I’m willing to take the risk,” Commissioner Francis Suarez said of the financial implications.
