On any given day of the week, morning or afternoon, you can turn your radio dial and hear either Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos “Cry Wolf” Gimenez and county commissioners speaking to the masses. While it’s not equal time, now the county cops want to reach an audience, too. The Dade County Police Benevolent Association launched its […]
Even though he was always kind of one foot in, one foot out, Miami-Dade Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho is giving up on his idea of running for Miami-Dade mayor in 2016 or 2020. Or turning in another direction, that is. That’s because he now wants to be named president of the University of Miami. Donna […]
FIU president Mark Rosenberg will speak to a group of builders and developers at the Latin Builders Association’s monthly luncheon today, at which the LBA will give the school’s expansion project and the referendum before voters that would be needed to allow them to use the space currently used by the Dade County Youth Fair […]
Round two in the search for a new Coral Gables City Manager has produced a few interesting names that seem head and shoulders above the candidates on the last shortlist — which ended in a fiasco when the commission picked a guy who later did not pass a general background check.

It’s not like she’s going to need Kevlar, but Miami-Dade County Human Resources Director Arlene Cuellar might want to bring some extra chutzpah and a sense of humor to work today: She’s going to meet this morning with the bargaining unit at the PBA, which has what can only be described as pretty hostile relations […]
Traffic is going to be Game Day miserable Friday afternoon around SunLife Stadium, but not because of a game — although politics is definitely a sport and could be a game to some. First Lady Michele Obama will be in Miami Gardens for a Charlie Crist rally at the Betty T. Ferguson Recreational Complex, 3000 […]
An electric fan? Really? That’s what everybody wants to talk about today? It’s not like it was the first time former Gov. Charlie Crist uses what apparently is his travel fan. After Gov. Rick Scott and his campaign complained Wednesday about a portable fan that his predecessor uses regularly and a lot — leading Ladra […]
