For more than four decades, the Dade Heritage Trust — with a mission to protect what little historic resources there is in Miami-Dade — has been housed in a cute little cottage by the bay in the Brickell area that was the 1905 clinic and office of Dr. James Jackson, Miami’s first physician, for which […]
When she was a preacher, former State Rep. Kimberly Daniels thanked God for slavery. As a Jacksonville city councilwoman in 2008, she voted against LGBT protections, equating homosexuality with bestiality and necrophilia. And on Monday, she endorsed Miami-Dade Commissioner Esteban “El Bobo” Bovo for county mayor. We know this because Bobo the bozo celebrated it. […]
United Teachers of Dade, the largest teachers union in Florida representing over 30,000 educators and professionals, released its list last week of Miami-Dade School Board endorsements for the November general election. Because three School Board members are leaving, this year’s vote will mark the school board’s biggest shift in representation in the last ten years. […]
As if we needed proof that the Miami-Dade mayoral race has become a partisan war, the Miami-Dade Dade Democratic Party, for the very first time, has paid to produce and air a television ad Monday for a candidate — for Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava. Sure, they’ve helped in the past but in the background, but […]
In another example of selective enforcement, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle announced Tuesday that it had charged Sweetwater Commissioner Sophia Lacayo with perjury for swearing that she lived inside the city — where she was elected in May of 2019 — when she really lives in unincorporated Miami-Dade. Lacayo was forced to resign as […]
Some of the Miami voters who signed the petition to recall Commissioner Joe Carollo have reported getting visits in the last week or so from young women who ask them to sign another form that, while it’s not clear right away, would recant their earlier pledge, according to several sources. That means that, even as […]
In the race to become the next mayor of Miami-Dade, Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava is accumulating endorsements like nobody’s business. Even before round 1 on Aug. 18, it seemed like Levine Cava was in a war with former Mayor Alex Penelas over how many endorsements each could get. She has almost every progressive group (if […]
Happy Election Day! By the time you read this, by the time 7 a.m. rolls around and the polls open, more than 300,000 voters have already cast ballots in Miami-Dade — that’s almost 50K more than all the people who voted in the August 2016 mayoral race, including on Election Day. An astounding majority of […]
A pair of caravans in Miami-Dade on the last day of early voting show just how partisan and polemic our county mayoral race has become. In Miami Beach, a blue stronghold with a Democrat mayor, the Miami Beach Democratic Club had a convoy Sunday to kick off the Democratic National Convention, which started Monday, and […]
Miami Comissioner Joe Carollo on Thursday lost yet another attempt to stop his recall. This time, none other than the Florida Supreme Court told him and the city of Miami they have no case. The city of Miami was sued by the political action committee behind the recall in March after City Clerk Todd Hannon […]
