The Miami Herald reported, in today’s business section, about a full page ad Beacon Lakes/Armando Codina et. al. put in the Miami Herald about a previous Miami Herald report. Bizarre, but seeing is believing. Here is a link to a second Herald article about the ad - BEACON LAKES: Developer's ad critiques The Miami Herald. The Herald states in the "News" article:Miami Herald Executive Editor Anders Gyllenhaal said, "I think our coverage of the project has been straight-forward and accurate.''
Hit on the ad to enlarge it.

Bizarre, indeed. My head hurts a little now.
Don't look behind the curtain!!
Armando Codina is a wonderful business person and friend to the Bush family.
We all know the Bush family loves good development and cares about citizens.
Therefore Codina cares too.
We should just give him everything and let him build out the Everglades.
Sure why not??

It has been pointed out be others that Codina did not really support W all that much in 2004. Just a few grand, not even as much as he raised for Jebs last two races. He is smart and saw where that was going. He is much closer to Jeb than W.
Such a nice guy who has built a solid reputation inspite of the slime underneath and slimy associates like Sergio Pino et la...
Neatooo.
5 years ago we got the camels nose under the tent, now we are getting the camels backside as the camel comes totally into the tent.
And they wonder why there is such a distrust about zoning hearing outcomes among activists and the community? What you see at Public Hearing is not what you get at build-out.
There was a little urban design project in the Cutler Bay area a few years back... It went to hearing with fancy drawings and much input by county designers. This little project was dressed up with pavers and attractive landscape for the hearing. They even had cute little cd give-a-ways of the project with all the pretty angles and elevations of the site. Well, a few years later after the successful hearing, when the project was complete, guess what changed? There is nice blacktop where all the lovely pavers and other fancy stuff should be. Those changes were complements of administrative staff changes. The community got short changed on the concept they were sold at hearing... and the developer got some extra change in the pocket.
The point is, at least Beacon Lakes needs some sort of hearing. If I owned a parcel nearby, and I wanted to be the first developer in with a retail project, I would be plotting a way to stop the Beacon Lakes bait and switch.
he put the same in in Miami Today!
What about the Miami Times, make him spread the wealth.
