Today (Friday) the Federal court ruled that the ordinance passed by the County Commission, after the Vile Natacha recall effort, that assessed criminal penalties to petition collectors was unconstitutional.
The judge placed an injunction on the other petition ordinances passed by the County Commission, my source thinks there were 3 total.
These ordinances made petition collection in Miami-Dade very difficult, if not impossible.
The suit was brought by former Miami Beach Mayor David Dermer. The case was argued by Michael Pizzi and Kent Harrison Robbins.

One win for the little guy. This plus the endorsement of Whilly and Lourdes, must have two commissioners foaming from their mouths.
The Miami Herald has finally seen the light. It's unfortunate, though, that Barbara Jordan was endorsed again. Did they forget all her conflicts of interest?
Congratulations to Dermer, Pizzi and Robbins. They did something that we little guys without money or connections could not. There were 3 ordinances the commission passed to take away our petition rights, the court case addressed one; it's a good start. These ordinances sponsored by Diaz, Seijas and Barreiro are all unconstitutional. Seijas and Barreiro have challengers endorsed by the Herald. Getting rid of them plus Edmonson and Martinez whose opponents are also endorsed by the Herald would be the best thing to happen to this county. If we don't have 4 or 5 new commissioners our rights will continue to be eroded. Wake-up people.
The Herald blew it with Jordan. She is almost as anti-public as Seijas.
Even worse, last anon. Have you forgotten her arrogance when her brother apologized for causing her problems with the Atlantic Civil project he supported along with Jordan's sister? She responded that he didn't have to apologize because there was no conflict. Ha!Ha!Ha!
