Miami Lakes leaders are determined to keep their town free of fees when it comes to parks and public services.

Miami Lakes’ mayor shined a light on the town’s progress over the past year during his annual State of the Town speech.

Miami Lakes Mayor Michael Pizzi, 50, also known as the "Brooklyn Brawler," has received medical clearance to train at a local boxing gym for... his Aug. 16 MMA bout against 50-year-old Hialeah Mayor Carlos Hernandez. The stocky 5-foot 8-inch, 200-pound Pizzi, who is also the town attorney for Medley, has embarked on a grueling exercise regimen that starts at each day at 5 a.m.

The mayors of Hialeah and Miami Lakes have agreed on a date to settle their differences with real punches, kicks and holds: Aug. 16.

A Miami Lakes councilman has floated the idea of eliminating property taxes townwide — but full implementation might not be ready for... primetime.
