📰 News we're reading
1. Pair accused of having sex at Pembroke Lakes Mall arcade bar in front of patrons (pembrokepinesflnews.com) — Pembroke Pines police arrested a Miramar man and a Pembroke Pines woman after staff at the Round1 bar in Pembroke Lakes Mall reported they were engaged in sexual activity at the bar in view of patrons. Security footage supported the bartender’s account, and both 35-year-olds now face exposure charges and have pleaded not guilty while the case is reviewed. 
2. Victim chases Facebook buyer accused of robbing him, causing crash, Pines cops say (pembrokepinesflnews.com) — Pembroke Pines residents are being reminded to stay cautious during online-sale meetups after a Facebook Marketplace deal at a local 7-Eleven turned into a robbery and crash. Police say a Coral Springs man grabbed a $7,500 gold chain, tried to flee, then hit a nearby home’s fence as the victim struggled with him, leading to an arrest and minor injuries.
3. Deco dives into the best places to beat the heat in Broward (wsvn.com) — Families in Pembroke Pines can cool off close to home at Paradise Cove in C.B. Smith Park, a full-day water park with slides and a lazy river. The guide also points you to a dog-friendly swim lake in Fort Lauderdale and an ice cream destination in Coral Springs, offering several nearby ways to escape the Broward heat.
4. Judge orders rewrite of ‘biased' and ‘political' property tax measure (floridatrib.org) — Homeowners in Pembroke Pines could be affected by a sweeping statewide property tax amendment that a judge just ordered rewritten for being too political and misleading. The proposal would sharply increase homestead exemptions, potentially eliminating most city and county property taxes on many homes and forcing local governments, including Pembroke Pines, to rethink how they fund basic services.
