Disillusioned by GOP

Well, 2016 will be yet another presidential election year where this GOP-registered voter can’t vote that way.

Among our choices, we have an immigrant-hating, self-proclaimed billionaire who’s left more people holding the bag than the guys at Publix; a should–be preacher who wants to eliminate the Supreme Court ; more Bush, nah; a junior senator from Florida who’s done nothing for Florida but run for the presidency since elected; the list goes on. We’ve got nothing. Sure, there’s still time, but I’m not too optimistic.

Jay W. Gould, Miami

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.
