Or as Gimleteye likes to call it: the $500 million Carnivorous Performing Arts Center--Hot off the press of Miami Herald Lite: Carnival Center deficit blamed on managers. "Teflon" County Manager, Burgess wrote a 19 page memo to Commissioners. Reporter Chang said:
“A Miami-Dade County assessment of the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts found that the independent trust that manages the county-owned facility committed expensive errors in budget planning and failed to institute cost controls that could have stemmed an estimated $4.1 million deficit incurred in the inaugural year.”

If you think the Carnival Performing Arts Center is bad, wait until you see the losses coming from the Miami Art Museum and the Miami Science Museum. These three financial disasters will absorb all the taxpayer funds available. Wait until the small neighborhood venues need help...
Maybe we will see Carnival Performing Arts Center executives being escorted out in handcuffs?
There should be a severe penalty for lying to Commissioners and to taxpayers... Isn't that a form of theft?
Expense and Revenue projections should be accurate.
Those Miami-Dade over paid "executives" should be arrested for letting the PAC Center go forward into such a disaster. What about former M-D exec, now Port Head, Bill Johnson? What about George Burgess and his $420,000 per year compensation plan? Would he survive in the private sector? Someone should be shown the exit. Where is the accountability?
How can the idiots at Miami-Dade County keep getting us into these disasters and get to keep their jobs? Who approved the fictional estimates?
When will we see Michael Hardy doing the perp walk?
We hear Miami-Dade County pinheads are about to start handing over money to the Miami Art Museum for its overly large PAC Center repeat performance. PAC Center was 300% over budget and 3 years late. Watch this disaster as it unfolds again. They never learn.
