Political ads

The Republicans have an advertisement showing a smiling Scott Rothstein with his arm around Florida gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist. Rothstein defrauded the world. The Republicans were graciously invited to the King Ranch, a Big Sugar hunting preserve, where innocent animals are slaughtered while being enclosed. Rick Scott came home with his “head.” How about a caricature with Scott holding the animal’s head under his arm smiling like a Boy Scout ?

Vote for civility and ethics for better local governments

By Jim Cason, former mayor, Coral Gables, Merrett R. Stierheim, former Miami-Dade County manager

There are many important municipal elections scheduled this year throughout Miami-Dade County. The impact of those elections on local residents spans across many issues, like personal safety and security, taxation, and neighborhood recareation programs.

Because these issues often affect the quality of residential life and the delivery of municipal public services, residents should take more than passing interest in who their candidates are and what they stand for. It is most important for all of us to become informed and vote.
