Circling the wagons

While the Bush family might think it’s their staunch Republican duty to circle their wagons, the largest Republican and Independent majority in history to choose a Republican presidential candidate thinks handing the presidency and the Supreme Court to Hillary Clinton is the polar opposite of admirable.

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.
