The campaign for the re-election of Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava responded quickly and harshly to the 30-second web video ad launched Sunday by Miami Lakes Mayor Manny Cid, who is challenging La Alcaldesa this year, attacking her $2.5 billion bond initiative.

Here’s a commercial you didn’t see during the Super Bowl. The first and anticipated video attacking Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava for her $2.5 billion bomb, er, bond initiative, revealed last month at the State of the County address, is out.

But will they have a chance to make any meaningful input? That is the real question. Are these just futile […]
The Miami-Dade Commission talked about garbage this week. Not the usual garbage. Real garbage. Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has suggested a $36 annual garbage fee increase — or $3 a month — as part of her 2023-2024 $11.6 billion budget.
