Today’s news involving Venezuela & Nicolás Maduro has far-reaching effects for many families across #OurCounty. I commend our brave armed services and their leadership for successfully carrying out a mission that has brought hope to so many residents in our community.

[Commissioner Raquel A. Regalado @CommishRR]

Our community has lost a protector, a friend, and a true hero. Rest in peace, @MiamiDade_SO Deputy Devin Jaramillo. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten, and your legacy will live on in the hearts of those you touched.

Miami-Dade @MayorDaniella on the Seaquarium news today. Looks like the park could close by November

As some commissioners push to cut county travel expense, @CommishRR Regalado says discussion should include International Trade Consortium, which funds commissioner travel abroad… Didn’t seem to go anywhere on the dais

Compromise proposed on helicopter funding. @MayorDaniella says over 2 years she’ll shift full cost of program
back countywide property tax, from Fire Rescue property tax — where most of the costs are paid. Used to be CW tax paid all of it. Credits @CommishRR Regalado for deal

Last month the BCC unanimously approved our item to reduce the administration's proposed rate increase to water & sewer. We’ve been working with WASD to reduce costs & streamline projects, that work took us from a 6% proposed increase to a 4%, but I believe we can do better.

“Even when Manolo was mad at you, you couldn’t be mad at him” @CommishRR Regalado says of the late Miami Commish Manolo Reyes. Said he was good at bringing potential solutions when complaining about a problem. He wasn’t “Commissioner No.”

[Doug Hanks @doug_hanks]

Good figures here on spending growth in the general fund in Miami-Dade (and payroll). @CommishRR said staff reductions are coming as county tries to balance its 2026 budget.

Commish @CommishRR on Miam-Dade's prior flush budgets: "Our residents have tightened their belts. It’s time we tighten our belts. A lot of the things created during the pandemic must die."

[Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners @MiamiDadeBCC]

"Commissioner Regalado has consistently demonstrated fiscal responsibility, strategic thinking, and a deep commitment to serving our residents.  I am pleased to appoint her as Chair of the Appropriations Committee, where her leadership will be instrumental in ensuring our county’s resources are allocated effectively."

In honor of #AutismAcceptanceMonth, @CommishRR partnered with @CommishArod and the constitutional officers to announce the launch of Miami-Dade County Neuro-Inclusive Service Days. This initiative will expand access to essential services for neurodiverse residents in #OurCounty.

[Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz @Sheriff_Rosie]

In honor of Autism Awareness Day, I joined @CommishRR and other elected officials to announce Neuro-Inclusive County Services Days - a step toward greater accessibility and inclusion. We remain committed to the safety of our neurodiverse residents by continuing to enroll families in the Occupant with Autism Program. This initiative alerts emergency responders when a person with autism is present in a home or vehicle, ensuring interactions are handled with care and understanding. #WorldAutismAwarenessDay

[Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners @MiamiDadeBCC]

April is #AutismAcceptanceMonth thanks to a resolution sponsored by @CommishRR in #OurCounty. Please join the #MiamiDadeBCC as we celebrate and embrace the diverse strengths of all neurodivergent individuals. Let us spread the message of acceptance and inclusivity.
