Baby boomers need work

Re the May 20 editorial, As baby boomers age: The editorial indicated that streets, public transportation, housing, benches, water fountains and more activities would lead to dignity and enjoyment for baby boomers.

However, for some of us, being employed would lead to a great deal more dignity. I need to work. I am healthy, full of energy, well educated and broke. Please add work to your list.

Mayor Gimenez: My integrity is sacrosanct

By Mayor Carlos Gimenez

December 19, 2018 02:13 AM

Re Fabiola Santiago’s Dec. 14 column, “The ethics of Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez and his lobbyist sons stink,” about my sons and my ethics: First, my son Carlos J. (C.J.) does not lobby Miami-Dade County government. He is a lawyer who was working in the government legal affairs field before I was elected mayor in 2011.

Yet he has not been active in any county business. Santiago initially included him as an active lobbyist in the online version of her column, then when advised that he is listed as “not active lobbyist” — as posted on the county website — she did not include the date of Jan. 27, 2011 that is listed as the last “inactive.”
