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.

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.
