The Miami city commission appointed a temporary District 5 commissioner to finish out the term vacated by Keon Hardemon, who was termed out and is now the county commissioner in Miami-Dade District 3. It wasn’t who everyone expected. But some suspect a fix anyway. And it looks like Commissioner Alex Diaz de la Portilla doesn’t […]
Madeline Pumariega, executive vice president and provost at Tallahassee Community College, was raised in Hialeah. She went to Miami Dade College and later became president of the Wolfson Campus in downtown Miami. And now she’s coming home to MDC as its new president — the first female president of the largest and most diverse community […]
Miami-Dade’s first female mayor was sworn-in Tuesday at a ceremony that was long on pomp and circumstance — there was even a marching band — and short on specifics. It was a bit anticlimactic. La Alcaldesa Daniella Levine Cava, who alternated to short brief Spanish summaries of what she said in English, did name the […]
Miami City commissioners could decide on Wednesday who to appoint to the District 5 seat to replace Keon Hardemon — who was elected to the county commission last week — from the 12 candidates who applied as of Monday afternoon. Or they could be split 2-2 and come back later. But they have ten days […]
The Miami-Dade Commission had another “last” meeting Monday — this will really have to be the last because the new guys get sworn in Tuesday — to vote on a resolution that would allow some of them to keep meeting virtually during the COVID19 state of emergency.

One of the first decisions the new Miami-Dade Commission must make next week, with five new members on board, is whether the county should have a special election in District 8 to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava — who is now mayor elect — or appoint someone. Guess […]
They had their goodbye ceremony already and each got a key to the county, but the termed out commissioners who are being replaced next week just had to have another fire sale, er, another meeting to give away more county land, move around and allocate more GOB monies, and dole out the rest of the […]
President Elect Joe Biden‘s transition might not be going along as quickly as some might like, and Miami-Dade Mayor Elect Daniella Levine Cava doesn’t get sworn in until next week, but she’s already taking charge at County Hall, making key hires and meeting with department heads. She might want to try to pace herself. This […]
If people want to see a stolen election, a real stolen election, they need to stop looking at the presidential race and check out Florida Senate District 37, where an unknown plantidate helped the GOP cheat. What’s more: It looks like it’s not the only race has a fake candidate propped up by unknown sources […]
