Antiprotesters plan camp-in at conventions
Miami Beach officials face protests over tent cities planned in public facilities for about 100000 demonstrators at the Democratic and Republican conventions. Operation Backbone leader Elis Rubin seeks July to August camping at Flamingo Park and school grounds, arguing protesters have rights and may seek legal action if denied. Local unions, Boy Scout groups, and high school students join signed petitions supporting the camp-in and sharing sites with demonstrators.

Dade County Plans 500 Portable Toilets for Protesters
John Eckoff of the Dade County Public Health Department warns 100000 protesters at the national conventions will overwhelm sanitation. He estimates 500 portable toilets costing about 115000 are needed from July 1 to Aug 23 with six minutes per person daily. Potential health issues include GI outbreaks and water and food supply strains. The city council votes June 28 on camping space for non delegates.
