Plenty of News on Coral Gables Election Today in the Miami Herald. By Geniusofdespair

The white hot race in Coral Gables between incumbent Maria Anderson and Gonzalo Sanabria was reported on in: The Metro Section and a Neighbor's Article and, finally Letters to the Editor. In the second link, on page 2 it says:

"But Anderson's supporters paint Sanabria as a developer with special interests at heart and have sent mailer ads that say he has voted several times to move the Urban Development Boundary line.

So what, asks Sanabria...adding that Gables founder George Merrick was a founding member of the planning board. "He was a developer and his main thing was to expand roads, to expand development," Sanabria said.


George Merrick died in 1942. Everyone smoked cigarette's and routinely sprayed DDT in their homes in the 40's. You would be better served studying Ruben Askew (one of my best posts) who served as Florida's Governor between 1971-1979. That is when the need for growth management in Florida was acknowledged and the concept of a master plan started to take shape. We got smarter as time went by...well most of us.

You just don't get it Gonzalo Sanabria, and you never will.

Here is hoping people in Coral Gables read the Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald or your blog, because if they read the CGG, they will get a warped reality.

Thanks for your coverage of this Coral Gables Election Eye on Miami. You are amazing researchers and writers. Clearly you have training in some research profession. Are you a former New York Times Reporter? Are you former investigative reporters for the Herald? Come on, am I close?
Truly appreciative of the information and columns you write to help fill the information void that is the NEWS!

Well if he wins, at least the little dirt weasel will be forced off the PAB.

Sorry Coral Gables, your loss is the rest of the County's win.
