Orange County sheriff pushing to shut down businesses riddled with crime

At a commission meeting Tuesday, Orange County Commissioner Emily Bonilla said she believes the county should have more authority to make changes to its own ordinance, not state leaders. She said other Florida counties have made provisions to the state statute for their area. The commissioner said she wants to discuss the issue at a future meeting.

“To see what our options are and how we can make this better for Orange County, so we can make sure that criminals know that Orange County is not the place for these activities,” Bonilla said.
