Mayor uses advisory council to push personal agenda
Coral Gables resident calls Vince Lago ‘Mayor Suarez’ of Miami at meeting
It finally happened: Someone confused Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago with Miami Mayor Francis Suarez. Is it the eyebrows?
It must have made L’Ego’s day. He wants to be just like Baby X.
Tampa transplant HD 115 candidate Alian Collazo does not act Republican
Alian Collazo, the Tampa transplantidate who registered to vote at a senator’s house to run for State House District 115 in Kendall, is not really that Republican. He once courted Joe Biden to speak at Florida International University and his social media posts are peppered with his travels to Cuba and other countries with repressive regimes and abysmal human rights records.
His GOP credentials are shaky.
Cutler Bay hotel still best option for homeless housing project, county says
A hotel on U.S. 1 in Cutler Bay is still the best option for a homeless housing project that would serve mostly seniors, according to a memo from Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava that has Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins and Cutler Bay Mayor Tim Meerbott a little unhappy.
The plan by the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust to transform the La Quinta Inn & Suites, 10821 Caribbean Blvd., into 107 studio apartments with kitchenettes, permanent housing for homeless individuals, first came before the county commission last December. Cohen Higgins got her colleagues to support a delay while the mayor’s office sought alternative sites, citing no outreach to the Cutler Bay community and the area’s future development.
What corruption probe? Mayor Francis Suarez enjoys Egypt wedding, Miami F1
It’s good to be the king.
That’s what Miami Mayor Francis Suarez looks like as he jet sets to Egypt for a star-studded billionaire’s wedding and takes in the Miami Grand Prix F1 races, all just days after he testifies in a Securities Exchange Commission investigation into developer Rishi Kapoor, who paid the mayor more than $10K a month as he pushed projects in the city.
Miami-Dade sheriff candidate ‘James’ Reyes is really Jems Reyes on paper
What’s in a name?
For Miami-Dade Public Safety Director James Reyes, a longtime employee of the Broward Sheriff’s Office working in corrections who was appointed six months ago to the new position just before he threw his hat into the Miami-Dade sheriff’s race, it’s an extra vowel. Because James Reyes is also Jems Reyes.

Recall vs Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago is short by 117 petition signatures
A short-lived campaign to recall Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago seemed to fizzle this week after Miami-Dade County’s Elections Department said the group had failed to get the required number of signatures to put it on a ballot.
It may not be dead. Both Maria Cruz, the longtime Gables activist who started the recall, and attorney David Winker, representing her political action committee End The Corruption, have said the petitions that were deemed ineligible may have been planted by Lago lackeys in an attempt to thwart the effort. Especially since there was more than one petition purportedly signed by Cruz, who only signed one petition.
Bryan Morera wins special election in Miami Lakes, creating new majority
The runoff in the special election to fill a vacancy on the Miami Lakes Town Council was won by attorney Bryan Morera, but one could say that three council members also won Tuesday.
Morera, who took 57 percent against Esther Colon‘s 43 percent, had been endorsed and/or supported by council members Marilyn Ruano, Luis Collazo and Josh Dieguez. Both he and Colon, the former manager of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea who beat the supposed mayoral’s favorite candidate to get into the runoff, are longtime town activists who have served on a bunch of committees and the all important Blasting Advisory Board, which addresses the issue of the quarry blasting, which is probably the biggest issue in Miami Lakes (maybe tied with the 170th Street bridge and the taxing districts).
