Going into the fall, @MayorDaniella thought the new sheriff, clerk, etc would be Democrats who lately owed their wins to her and her political backing. Instead, Republicans she tried to defeat are taking power. In Jan, county govt will have a GOP tilt. https://t.co/MMhLafyzYP

Miami-Dade commissioner on the Camillus House board is demanding an investigation into why shelter residents there were moved to Miami Beach. Garcia supportive of Camillus. His statement comes a day before BCC votes to keep Ron Book head of homeless board. Sure to come up
Does Chair @Ogilbert want to install someone other than Felix Jimenez as Inspector General? Looks like it. Last-minute legislation would lower qualifications for the office, allowing govt admins to apply. He is declining to bring the Jimenez contract renewal up for a vote.
Update : Gilbert says he wants IG to reapply for their job every four years as contract expires. “Let’s have a competitive process.” Would eliminate the job security that exists under the current system for the county watchdog (renewal votes every 4 years)
