Maybe he just doesn’t care anymore, now that he is slipping in the polls. Maybe he practiced. But Jeb Bush sure seemed more comfortable Tuesday night on the much anticipated return of the Late Show with new host Stephen Colbert than he was weeks ago on the Jimmy Fallon show. Heck, he even gave a shout […]
He’s a Marine. A state legislator. A husband and father and a public adjuster. And now, State Rep. Frank Artiles (R-Country Walk) wants to be a bear killer. Among the nearly 2,000 permits pulled for the two-day Florida bear hunt being allowed for the first time in more than 20 years this October, is one […]
Miami Beach Commissioner Jonah Wolfson announced Thursday that he was going to close down the shady Relentless for Progress political action committee he chairs and has been championing and defending for months. He says he will return whatever is left of the $1.4 million they had collected as of the end of July on a […]
To show what a big bull’s eye Congressman Carlos Curbelo has on his back, Democrats are spending money on negative ads against him a full 15 months before he faces a Democratic challenger in the 2016 election. To be fair, he’s not the only one. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee released the Republican attack coupons […]

The deal’s been cut and it looks like Coral Gables City Manager Cathy Swanson-Rivenbark will be forced to name Interim Chief Ed Hudak the city’s permanent top cop after all. There’s been too much backlash on her plan to restructure the police department and name two chiefs who would report to her new assistant city […]
Coral Gables City Attorney Craig Leen told Commissioners late Tuesday that the city has to have one police chief, not two, as proposed by the city manager in her planned realignment of the police department.

Miami-Dade Commissioners will get be told Tuesday that the issue discovered earlier this year where special taxing districts were not paying what they should — either paying higher or lower than what they were assessed — has been taken care of. Everything has been reviewed and adjusted. All good now. You can move on. Nothing to […]
Coral Gables Police Chief Ed Hudak and City Commissioner Vince Lago were the subjects of a secret internal investigation conducted by the former chief last year.
