Next week will be all about the free turkeys given away by the costly turkeys, but today Political Cortadito’s Political Pics of the Week are kind of scattered about. We have county commissioners in their districts doing their thing and Congress members being honored or interviewed on the immigration thing. We have Coral Gables Commissioner Pat Keon for the very first time.
In other words, we’re pretty much all over the place.
Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart was on numerous TV interviews Friday after President Barack Obama’s action on immigration, saying that while he supports various parts of the executive order, he doesn’t think he has the legal authority to do it on his own.
Meanwhile, on the same day, Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen was hanging out with Willy Chirino’s family at the Miami-Dade Public Schools Alumni Hall of Fame induction. IRL and Congresswoman Federica Wilson were inducted.
That same morning, Miami-Dade School Board Member Raquel Regalado spoke before the membership at the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce breakfast.
Friday night, Miami-Dade Commissioner Juan Zapata hosted a tree-lighting ceremony at Kendale Lakes Regional Library, part of the West End holiday extravaganza he planned.
Miami-Dade Commissioner Audrey Edmonson stopped by the 7th Avenue transit village project Wednesday to thank the workers — including Miami-Dade Transit’s Froilan Báez, Albert Hernandez, Eric Thorne and Jose Vidal — who have been toiling away on the mixed use project that will include a transit hub with retail and office space, some housing and a movie theater.

On Saturday, State Rep. David Richardson — who celebrated a glorious bike ride from Miami to Key West for charity last weekend — celebrated National Adoption Day with new families at Miami Children’s Museum.
