@doug_hanks @Ogilbert You mean the guy who has allocated millions to a non-profit that doesn't appear to have filed 990's since 2022? How is it even possible that the County issues checks to a 501c3 that hasn't even filed tax returns timely? Even after the A3 💩show no less!

"This is to the matching-shirt crowd..." Commish @Ogilbert on potential for Tallahassee sending property-tax cuts to voters. His message: non-profits that rely on tax funding from Miami-Dade will see $$ slashed if that passes. "There will be eliminations."

@VanessaBritoMia @crystal31312455 @SenAshleyMoody Isn't a Real ID, if the ID is labeled as a Real ID, covered in this and sufficient? I thought I read that it is. My ID is not labeled as a Real ID, but I got my Birth Certificate within a week 2 weeks ago so I can prepare and get a Real ID. 🤔

@ChristinaWPLG The BCC basically did exactly that where I live in the Redland, despite a mountain of local opposition. Regalado was one who voted to allow party houses and theme parks throughout the Redland, next door to homes! The expanded pure commercial fake farmer "Agritourism" ordinance.

@savecalusa @doug_hanks @newschica @hatzelvela @davidjwinker Large sums came from hotly contested Bluenest, same happened during Fake Farmer - Expanded "Agritourism" item, and also apparently indirectly from Kelly Tractor through The Southern Group it appears. Terra is really doling out the $$$ & continually has big deals under review.

This is not how zoning decisions should be made or influenced. Developers should really have to disclose this on the record before a vote is held… I wonder how much more will come in 2026 Q1! @doug_hanks @newschica @hatzelvela @davidjwinker
Dani Rivera@MiamiSeda

🧵1/5 GL Homes is still trying to rezone Calusa. Since 2012, GL Homes has given at least $558K to county level politics, with $420.5K to the current/recently resigned commissioners & mayor. They made 223 contributions using 58 different names averaging $2,387 per contribution.

@savecalusa @doug_hanks @newschica @hatzelvela @davidjwinker Indeed! Miami Beach created legislation when Steinberg was in office that prohibited $$$ from developers,vendors,lobbyists directly or indirectly to candidates or sitting commissioners when those entities have business before the board.BCC needs the same.

@savecalusa @CBoomerVazquez I feel your pain, believe me, but 1) Do you know how much $$$ GL Homes entities contributed to BCC PC's? 2) The verdicts often seem to be decided before the official vote 3) It doesn't get easier than completely ignoring, pretending to listen, &/or looking at phones on the dais.

@JaneBuffington @CBoomerVazquez The difference is this would make it even easier for them to ignore residents…. At least now it is a legal requirement that we have a chance to speak on the record.

You vote for local elected officials to represent you but what if lawmakers in Tallahassee silenced them with provisions stripping control of development? A proposed bill would limit locals from weighing-in on development projects in your neighborhood: local10.com/news/local/202…

@CBoomerVazquez The BCC is 13 people. 12 of whom I don't get to choose at all. And they frequently go against my District Commissioner on matters in OUR own district! We residents have no voice NOW. So what's the difference?

@CBoomerVazquez Keeping it real...I live in District 8 of Unincorporated Dade. I vote. I pay attention. I write emails. The BCC ignores us whenever it suits them. They fill their PC's with $$$ via the controversial CDMP applications. So what's the difference?

@doug_hanks Improvements are great, making it like the World Equestrian Center, GREAT! When was it decided that the County intended to do a $100M improvement project? And when was it backed by voters? Just trying to get a timeline. I can't find more on the Req for Design Build since 3/'25

@doug_hanks An independent journalist shared video from the Unsafe Structures Board meeting on Tropical Park Equestrian Complex. It was not as dire as ARod contends. They are CBS buildings with much of the 40/10 year recertification elements completed.

Chair @CommishArod torched this tweet during meeting, asking why a “measly $1.85M allocation” got attention from the “fake news Herald” and not other items on agenda — incl long IG & CRA debates. “Open your eyes my friends. It’s very one-sided. And we are paying attention.” 1/2
Doug Hanks@doug_hanks

In a tight budget environment, Tropical Park continues to get more county funds. Last-minute item on today's agenda has @MayorDaniella asking for an extra $1.8M in design funds mostly for rehab of the Equestrian Center that Loud and Live will be managing. miamidade.gov/govaction/legi…

@MayorDaniella Madam, you are no Secretary of State. Why can't you prioritize your actual job? When you don't have your own house in order, when you can't manage what's in front you locally, what makes you think your opinion on foreign policy and armed forces actions abroad are of any value?

The escalating conflict between the U.S., Israel & Iran threatens stability & security. My thoughts are with the people of Israel, our Jewish community in South Florida & the Iranian people seeking freedom and dignity. We must pursue stability and diplomacy, not further violence.

@MiamiHerald It's like the DNC sends out a bat signal to its comrades and says, "Now we hammer on the word "Authoritarian" in every way everyday until further notice."

@MiamiHerald The enforcement of laws and maintaining a first world civilized society is so foreign to the author that he misconstrues it for "authoritarianism". The Weekend at Bernie's Biden era of free for all, mass migration, waste, fraud, & abuse is over.
