Miami commissioner lashes out against ‘timid’ State Attorney
Political Cortadito was the first to tell everyone that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his team — principally Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez, because she is from here — recruited hardline Republicans to challenge three Miami-Dade School Board members that didn’t toe the GOP line against mandated COVID-19 facemasks.

Miami Beach voters might think their Aug. 23 ballot is fat, with six city referendums put to them. Just wait until November.
There will be eight ballot questions about the changes in the city charger and proposed developments on the November ballot. Eight!

It’s not just Miami-Dade District 6 where former President Donald Trump has a friend running. One of the candidates challenging Miami-Dade Commissioner Danielle Cohen-Higgins is also a Trumpster.
