Take action on this campaign by @MiamiWaterkpr to ask commissioners to not amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan. This plan protects our drinking water and shouldn't be amended. If you live in Miami-Dade, click the link to take your own action! https://t.co/ySy83zx1Hj

I just wrote a @fl_opportunity letter to save #solarfreedom:
Write your legislators with just a couple clicks here: https://t.co/43RTVBtVPo

[Elaine de Valle @newschica]

Another disappointment from @MayorDaniella when she fails to veto the #Calusa development and save the natural preserve that has been organically created there. It's a trade-off to protect the UDB. Because she can't do both? #SaveCalusa is dead?

[Let's Talk Miami @talkingmiami]

What’s the point of having everyone come and live here if the environment is destroyed and water quality deteriorates? We’re going to have a come to Jesus moment when no one wants to live here anymore because the Miami you’re selling, won’t exist anymore…

[Raquel Regalado @RaquelRegalado]

I have heard & seen how many people feel about the decision the County Commission made to rezone the Calusa Golf Course. I owe it to you to explain why I voted with 9 of my colleagues to allow it.

During a press conference to announce a new round of election related legislation for 2022 session @GovRonDeSantis says "Personally, I don't like drop boxes." Says it's allowed because of Fla. Legislature....DeSantis signed the bill in 2019 that authorized drop boxes

Every Miami founder I talked to is not hiring locally, they're hiring remote or importing talent.

Sounds familiar?

A similar situation happened in the Bay Area which over 10 years drastically changed demographics & cost of living. We are trending towards becoming the new SF.

Miccosoukee Tribe fighting to keep Miami-Dade from extending the UDB, saying the county “seems intent on paving every square inch of undeveloped wetlands” in letter to @GovRonDeSantis

[Jim DeFede @DeFede]

The incomparable ⁦@ErikaCarrilloTV⁩ - chasing down ⁦@FrancisSuarez⁩ who runs away and hides.
Apparently Miami’s Bro Mayor only talks to tech billionaires and Bitcoin enthusiasts.
No time for the people of Miami. https://t.co/ekOsKsItmT

Small business owners: Comcast is now accepting applications for their Comcast RISE Investment Fund, which will provide $10,000 grants for small businesses owned by minorities in our community.

Don't miss out and apply now — applications close tomorrow: https://t.co/eFpnF3cEdu

Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing entitled, "Protecting a Precious, Almost Sacred Right: The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act."

[Transit Alliance Miami @TransitMIA]

We're finally here! Tomorrow at 9:30AM, the #BetterBusNetwork goes before the Board of County Commissioners one last time.

Thank you to the thousands of people that have supported and contributed to the creation of Miami's new bus network.

Tomorrow, let's bring it home!

The fact of the matter is my Build Back Better Agenda costs $0 — and it won’t raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000 a year. We’re going to pay for it by ensuring those at the top and big corporations pay their fair share.

[Daniella Levine Cava @MayorDaniella]

My heart is with you and your entire family, @FLCaseyDeSantis — we know you’re a fighter and cancer doesn’t stand a chance. Get well soon!

[Steve Wright @stevewright64]

Proud that Eric Howk trusted me with his deeply personal and super empowering story. The time for accessibility, equality, inclusion and dignity -- in every service a person could need from substance abuse treatment to seating at a rock concert -- is now.

As long as #SoFlo continues to be a haven for the rich and corrupt to evade taxes and launder money, we will continue being one of the most expensive housing markets in the country #PandoraPapers #affordablehousing https://t.co/MCNsQ2VEvJ

[WPLG Local 10 News @WPLGLocal10]

MIAMI IS THE SECOND LEAST AFFORDABLE: Miami has officially passed Los Angeles as the second most least affordable housing market in the country, second only to New York City. The average household income in Miami versus home price will shock you.

Absolutely shameful!

[Doug Hanks @doug_hanks]

Commish @RaquelRegalado points out @MayorDaniella reducing septic-to-sewer budget from Rescue Act to $108M, with fed dollars going to Ludlam Trail, Sweetwater parks and other places in this budget. Wants a s-to-s reserve.

[Doug Hanks @doug_hanks]

Miami-Dade budget passes. Notable: @MayorDaniella shifted some COVID relief $$ for septic-to-sewer to diff projects ($5M for Ludlam Trail)
Plus Commish @KeonHardemon tried to strip $$ from group run by his ‘20 opponent. Says @mgepsie: “Just wow.” https://t.co/2Hk60VQ3PG

[Daniella Levine Cava @MayorDaniella]

Protecting our Bay must be a top priority. @MiamiDadeRER immediately issued a Notice of Violation & ordered FDOT to clean the storm drains, and we will be coordinating across agencies to ensure better measures are put in place to prepare for rain events. https://t.co/lUSM6aj5jN
