During the next two decades or so, the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department will undergo and oversee the largest capital improvement program in the county’s history — with $13.5 billion in projects just in the southern part of the county. Members of the public will get a chance to hear about these projects — which […]
Maybe it’s because she’s new. But on Tuesday, freshman Miami-Dade County Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava showed that she does something other Miami-Dade Commissioners find it hard to do: She listens to the voters. Levine Cava sponsored an item to urge the legislature to set aside $500 million for land acquisition and Everglades restoration from somewhere, […]
Way more than a little early in the game, State Rep. David Richardson has announced a “key endorsement” this week in his bid to become a state senator: Miami-Dade Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava. Say what? Levine Cava is the newest county commissioner and, as such, probably wields the least power on the dais. She is […]
It was a busy week for Miami-Dade Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava, who was at all the parades, a Catalyst Miami event, the transportation summit and the opening of her office in Homestead. But it was a busy week on Instagram, twitter and Facebook, as electeds took part in MLK events, a rodeo, two parades — […]
Sure, there was some big football game, I hear. But this week was marked mostly by races — a runoff in Palmetto Bay and the NASCAR races at Homestead-Miami Speedway, a three-day speed fest that ended with the championship Sunday night. Both are very competitive sports. In Palmetto Bay, where the former founding Mayor Eugene […]
Freshly chosen Miami-Dade Commissioner-Elect Daniella Levine Cava seemingly can’t wait to get started. She’s not only been attending all the commission meetings since she was elected in a heated race against Vice Chair Lynda Bell Aug. 26, she has also been getting to know the district. On Tuesday, she went up into the sky in […]
When Daniella Levine Cava was running for a county commission seat, she got a little help and moral support from her friendly neighborhood Democrat Congressman, Joe Garcia. Now she wants to return the favor. Levine Cava, whose grassroots campaign beat Miami-Dade Commisioner Lynda Bell Aug. 26, appealed to her supporters Wednesday in a last call for […]
Ding, dong, the witch ain’t dead, folks. She’s only injured. Miami-Dade Commission Vice Chair Lynda Bell may have been defeated a the polls last week, bounced by voters that were tired of her self-serving, anti-employee rule. But Commissioner-elect Daniella Levine Cava is not sworn in until mid-November, which means Bell is still a vote on […]
Many of Miami-Dade’s much beleaguered labor unions started reaching hard-fought agreements with a compromising county administration. This came on the heels of their victory last week when they helped elect a newcomer and unseated an incumbent — only the the third time that’s happened since 1960. Coincidence? Probably not. It’s more likely that labor — […]
Commissioner-elect Daniella Levine Cava is not the only one who won Tuesday when she was able to get 52% of the vote in District 8 over incumbent Miami-Dade Commission Vice Chair Lynda Bell. And Bell is not the only one who lost something. Like always, there will be those who benefit from this regime change […]
