President Elect Joe Biden‘s transition might not be going along as quickly as some might like, and Miami-Dade Mayor Elect Daniella Levine Cava doesn’t get sworn in until next week, but she’s already taking charge at County Hall, making key hires and meeting with department heads. She might want to try to pace herself. This […]
When she was a preacher, former State Rep. Kimberly Daniels thanked God for slavery. As a Jacksonville city councilwoman in 2008, she voted against LGBT protections, equating homosexuality with bestiality and necrophilia. And on Monday, she endorsed Miami-Dade Commissioner Esteban “El Bobo” Bovo for county mayor. We know this because Bobo the bozo celebrated it. […]

It’s really rather funny in an ironic sort of way. But sad, too.

In the race to become the next mayor of Miami-Dade, Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava is accumulating endorsements like nobody’s business. Even before round 1 on Aug. 18, it seemed like Levine Cava was in a war with former Mayor Alex Penelas over how many endorsements each could get. She has almost every progressive group (if […]
A pair of caravans in Miami-Dade on the last day of early voting show just how partisan and polemic our county mayoral race has become. In Miami Beach, a blue stronghold with a Democrat mayor, the Miami Beach Democratic Club had a convoy Sunday to kick off the Democratic National Convention, which started Monday, and […]
In what was likely the last televised debate of the four leading Miami-Dade mayoral candidates, the time and drama was dominated, yet again, by former mayor Alex Penelas and current Commissioner Esteban “Stevie” Bovo, who traded jabs and interrupted each other like they were alone on the stage.
