Miami-Dade gives Donald Trump his bridge for 10 years

He may not have gotten his hands on our public golf course, but President Donald Trump gets to keep a golf cart and pedestrian bridge on Miami-Dade property for the next ten years.

Doral councilman succeeds in ousting clerk — now what?

Here we go again.

Brito recall brings Doral drama to a new award-winning high

Brito recall brings Doral drama to a new award-winning high

Doral exploded alright. And the sparks seem like they will continue to fly for at least a few days. But it wasn’t, as expected, because of the kinetic energy between the two alpha males — Mayor Luigi Boria and City Manager Joe Carollo. I thought they would get into a mess all by themselves. Nah. They never stood a […]

Political rematch for campaign pros in Doral mayoral race

The sleepy little suburban bliss that is Doral is about to get a muddy political makeover. Even in this year’s cornucopia of campaigns, the Doral city elections are worth watching.
