Former fire chief is on the short list for Joe Martinez seat in Miami-Dade
Posted by Admin on Sep 15, 2022 | 0 commentsAdd former Miami-Dade Fire Chief and ex president of the International Association of Firefighters Al Cruz to the shortlist of District 11 residents who could be appointed to replace Miami-Dade Commissioner Joe Martinez, who is facing a public corruption trial.
Gov. Ron DeSantis hasn’t yet suspended Martinez, who was charged with unlawful compensation for taking $15,000 in exchange for legislation. But he’s given every indication that he will. Someone close to the talks about Grumpy’s replacement told Ladra Wednesday that the governor said he would name someone in a couple of days. Is that two? Yeah, this feels like a Friday thing.
