At Tuesday’s Palm Beach County Commission meeting, a vote to voice support for a proposed state boater safety law got very emotional.
Representative MaryLynn Magar, R-Tequesta, stood alongside Austin’s Dad, Blu Stephanos, at a Palm Beach County Commission meeting as the board voted unanimously to endorse proposed bills intended to enhance boater safety in Florida.
