Ivette Arango O’Doski, Alex Bucelo have the most funds in their groups
Wow. Thank you good people of the Gables Good Government Committee. They sent questions to all six Coral Gables commission candidates and got specific answers from all — well almost specific, and almost all.
Rip is gonna be Rip. And Ivette Arango O’Doski found ways to answer questions without really answering questions. Which means she’s already a politician.
The six Coral Gables Commission candidates in the upcoming April election answered questions from both adult residents and students Thursday at the first forum of the 2023 election, hosted by the Coral Gables PTA on Zoom.
The next forum is from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, March 8, hosted by the Coral Gables Chamber at the UM Newman Alumni Center, 6200 San Amaro Drive.
Six commission candidates also qualify for two seats in the April 11 race
Does Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago know something we don’t?
Lago doesn’t have a real challenge in this April’s city elections — Jackson “Rip” Holmes can’t beat anyone, let alone the Gables Golden Boy — but he’s raising funds like he’s going to have an opponent. January was his best month, with $58,650 raised, bringing his total to $69,200.
The mailer that landed in mailboxes Saturday calling Coral Gables Commission Group 3 candidate Alex Bucelo a puppet was paid for by former Miami Commissioner Marc Sarnoff.
What does Miami have to do with the Gables?
