Miami Commissioner Miguel Gabela and the Bayfront Park Management Trust board are in charge of a multi-million dollar public park AND THEY CAN'T DO BASIC MATH! #BecauseMiami

I questioned them about their recent vote to give their unqualified interim executive director and Gabela crony, Raul Miro, a 70 PERCENT RAISE, from $150,000 to $255,000 - plus a wildly generous benefits package that gives him over $350,000 in annual compensation from taxpayers.

Miro, who may (or may not) have a high school diploma, failed to meet the advertised minimum job requirements for the position and now makes over FIVE times Miami's median household income of $66,000.

Incredibly, Gabela ADMITS that Raul Miro only got the position he's unqualified for is because he's politically connected to him! It's so rare to see anyone confess to this kind of cronyism, it's almost refreshing.

And now Gabela and board member Carlos Martell wanna argue with me about my math, gaslighting that 70% is not really 70%!

@newschica @PortMiami Which one is repped by Ulvert? There’s no way a grift of this magnitude is going down in the county and he doesn’t have a piece of it.

Miami Commissioner Miguel Gabela is weaponizing government against his political enemies (real and imagined). And he's so desperate, he's willing to break the law on live TV! #BecauseMiami

Gabela is PISSED about my video last week breaking news on the suspension and criminal investigation of his Sgt. at Arms, and he's demanding, in violation of the city charter, that police chief Manny Morales investigate who "leaked" that publicly available information to me (SPOILER ALERT: public records can't be "leaked")…

At the next #Miami commission meeting, commissioners are expected to rubber stamp those $770K settlement with ex commissioner @JoeCarolloNow This is from a long dormant lawsuit about his pension from when he was elected years ago, the first time. https://t.co/BB7Fg7UPEQ

[Elaine de Valle @newschica]

The verdict is in. There was no crime committed by @commishariel Fernandez in #CoralGables with the survey, just more @Vince_Lago lies and smears. What authorities should investigate is the defamation that got this started. https://t.co/NEi4AvZqzL

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a hypocrite and disgrace.

At a time when Black districts are being eliminated and those voters disenfranchised... she of course, as always, puts herself ahead of everything and everybody.

@DWStweets has never represented Florida or her district... only herself.

It’s time she gets a real job for the first time in her failed career.

Was the only democrat I know of that fought the legalization of medical marijuana that now benefits over a million Floridians.

I have always wondered who bought her. Debbie Downer needs to go.

Remember when they told us no taxpayer funds would go towards this stadium?

“Shev” is an establishment politician who helped sink the Florida Democrats into (over) a quarter century of irrelevance. He’s on the (long) list of reasons we’ve suffered single-party rule in this state since 1999. Proving once again, @FlaDems never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

[Peter Schorsch @PeterSchorschFL]

tl;dr on FL CD 24:

-At the appropriate moment, @RepWilson will announce her retirement

-State and nat'l activists and donors are rallying to @ShevrinJones to run to succeed her; he's instant frontrunner if he does

Who needs Republican gerrymandering when you’ve got a white Democrat trying to hijack a Black-majority Congressional district…

[Debbie Wasserman Schultz @DWStweets]

Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Florida’s 20th congressional district.

I’ll continue to use my seniority in Washington to make Broward a safer, less expensive place to live, raise a family, and retire. We cannot let Trump and DeSantis take away Broward County’s power.

@terrymurphy06 @culvert @davidjollyfl Ulvert has helped as many (if not more) Republicans get elected than Democrats.

[Billy Corben @BillyCorben]

Ulvert is a primary reason Democrats have been a non-entity in Florida since 1999. This political grifter is a cancer on the party and has profited from every loss. He, along with his puppets @MayorDaniella and @EileenHigginsFL, conspired to turn the Miami-Dade Commission red — by coronation NOT election.

[Christian Ulvert @culvert]

I’ve spent nearly two decades in Florida politics building campaigns, crafting messages, and helping candidates earn the trust of voters across this magnificent, complicated, deeply misunderstood state. I’ve watched Florida drift. I’ve watched it stumble. And I’ve spent the better part of the last few years asking myself the same question a lot of Floridians are quietly asking: how can we restore decency, respect and a commitment to improve the lives of our families, friends and neighbors.
Today, I have an answer. And his name is @davidjollyfl!

When a constituent tried to ask Mayor Eileen Higgins at a community event when she would fulfill a campaign promise to end Miami’s police-ICE collaboration, she was kicked out. Miami is the city with highest levels of immigration enforcement according to a state database.
