Former Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell who lost her seat earlier this month to termed-out Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez said she’s not even thinking about a rematch or challenging Sen. Marco Rubio in 2022, as some have speculated and, likely, prodded. It’s time to take a step back and look at what happened in congressional District 26 […]
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.

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.

It’s extra special, he said, because the recognition honors military vets who, […]
Dear Marquito, it’s over. This may come as a shock, but we’re through. And it’s not me. It’s you. Sorry (not sorry) but you are just not the man I thought you were.
