More than 116,000 Miami-Dade property owners got notices recently that show increases in their special taxing district assessments for the first time in at least four years — some as much as 22 percent.

Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera got the green light from his wife. C-Lo told a group of close to 750 Republicans at the Miami-Dade Lincoln Day Dinner that he was “considering” a run for the U.S. Senate seat that will be vacated by presidential hopeful Marco Rubio in 2016.
