‘No’ on new courthouse

I urge everyone to Vote No on a new Miami-Dade County courthouse. Who let this courthouse deteriorate, crumble and corrode?

Who was responsible for the maintenance? Now they want taxpayers, as always, to foot the bill. The Freedom Tower was also in bad shape; still it was not razed, but restored. Miami-Dade wants a new, shining courthouse at our expense. They should have been on top of this, but just let the building go to pot.
