Bevo pointed out a number of achievements in his administration.
“Hialeah today is one of the most secure cities in the United States,” he writes. “We have restored the pride of all who cooperates to provide services to our residents, as well as to those who have come to invest and create opportunities.”
Gratitude and optimism for the future
Bovo expressed a deep gratitude to the residents of Hyalea, his colleagues from the municipal council and his family, lending their support as the basis of his public service.
