Miami-Dade County commissioners gave preliminary approval Tuesday to an ordinance that would force elected officials and any candidates for elected office to disclose when they were soliciting funds for any political action committee. Hmmm. Doesn’t that sound familiar? Am I the only one having de ja vu? Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava, who sponsored the measure, said […]
Among some of the quick things that will get approved at Tuesday’s Miami-Dade Commission meeting is an item pushing for equal pay for women. It’s cleverly disguised as a local equivalent of the United Nations Convention to End Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and a proposal to simply study the disparities in pay and pain if […]
NBCUniversal employees may soon be banned from Trump National Doral Miami resort and spa and all his other properties, too, now that the network has cut ties to billionaire clown act and GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump and will cease to air the Miss U.S.A. and Miss Universe pageants after The Donald offended Mexicans and all Hispanics in his […]
During the next two decades or so, the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department will undergo and oversee the largest capital improvement program in the county’s history — with $13.5 billion in projects just in the southern part of the county. Members of the public will get a chance to hear about these projects — which […]
Maybe it’s because she’s new. But on Tuesday, freshman Miami-Dade County Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava showed that she does something other Miami-Dade Commissioners find it hard to do: She listens to the voters.

But it was a busy week on Instagram, twitter and Facebook, as electeds took part in MLK events, a rodeo, two parades — […]
Sure, there was some big football game, I hear. But this week was marked mostly by races — a runoff in Palmetto Bay and the NASCAR races at Homestead-Miami Speedway, a three-day speed fest that ended with the championship Sunday night. Both are very competitive sports. In Palmetto Bay, where the former founding Mayor Eugene […]
Freshly chosen Miami-Dade Commissioner-Elect Daniella Levine Cava seemingly can’t wait to get started. She’s not only been attending all the commission meetings since she was elected in a heated race against Vice Chair Lynda Bell Aug. 26, she has also been getting to know the district.
