Doral Councilwoman Sandra Ruiz will sponsor a resolution next week condemning billionaire businessman, reality TV star and presidential candidate Donald Trump for his “racist, derrogatory” remarks about Mexicans and immigrants in his campaign announcement speech.

Pete Cabrera’s move to fire the city clerk will hinge on one vote — Mayor Luigi Boria’s. But the two men have one thing in common: Campaign consultant Sasha Tirador.

The crowd at Doral City Hall for Wednesday’s State of the City address seemed mostly like supporters of Mayor Luigi Boria, who used the opportunity to try to make nicey nice with the city manager.
