Dolphins deal should protect county

 

Re the Jan. 20 column, Dolphins proposed deal is corporate welfare: Undoubtedly the argument will go on for a while. There’s always hope for the county to benefit, but past results say that the citizens of Miami-Dade are hurt and that the promoters make big bucks.

The mayor and County Commission should not consider any action unless Stephen Ross agrees to give Miami-Dade 25 percent of the appreciation in the value of the Dolphins from today to its sale. Protect the future today.

    Unethical tutors cause Florida’s children to lose out

    As a district coordinator for a tutoring company that received an ‘excellent’ rating from the Florida Department of Education (DOE) for the 10 years that we have been providing services in Florida, I must respond to the May 12 article Fight over money for tutoring went down to the wire.

  • DCF fails again

    Another innocent child has died because of the blatant incompetence of the Florida Department of Children & Families. The little arms of Rilya Wilson and Nubia Barahona have stretched out to embrace the latest victim of neglect, infant Bryan Osceola.

  • Larger type, please

    I am always proud of the Silver Knight nominees from Miami-Dade County. When the winners are printed in The Miami Herald, the categories, from art to world languages, can be easily read. But even with the best of bifocals, I need a high-power magnifier to read the students’ names. The Herald should print the names a little larger to honor these outstanding students more fully.
