Miami Beach

Letter: Miami Beach mayor ‘out of control’

For those of us who are residents and taxpayers living on Miami Beach, we hope that the Miami Beach City Commission will calm the mayor down, as he is out of control.

Miami Beach is a barrier island. We don’t need more development and more people. Emergency vehicles can barely get through now. The money he is spending on the free trolley in North Beach, which parallels the city buses, is a total waste of our money when people don’t have enough money to pay for medications and many other things.

His priorities are in the wrong place, and I hope the City Commission will do the right thing for us, the residents.

The Donahues, Miami Beach
