Controversy Surrounding Palmetto Bay Councilman Steve Cody's Social Media Post Sparks Calls for Resignation
Calls for the resignation of a Palmetto Bay councilman have intensified after he made a controversial social media post regarding the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The post sparked outrage among residents and officials, with many expressing their disapproval outside City Hall. The councilman, Steve Cody, later expressed regret over his remarks but stated his intention to serve out the remainder of his term until 2028. Mayor Karyn Cunningham and Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier have both condemned Cody's post, with Uthmeier calling for his immediate resignation. The issue is set to be discussed at a council meeting on Sept. 17, but the final decision rests with Cody himself.
