That Lowe's store on the other side of the Urban Development Boundary just keeps going. Even though the Governor and Cabinet said "no", the County Commission won't let it go. About an hour ago they debated whether to continue the lawsuit against the State of Florida on Lowe's big box store.
Pepe Diaz insisted that the "process should be allowed to take place" and wants the appeal to continue.
Rebeca Sosa asked for clarification questions about what the costs would be - County Attorney's office indicated some transportation, staff and county attorney time.
Carlos Gimenez said "let's just take a vote."
Sorenson outlined that we need to just cut our losses, she noted (hopefully) that the County was not going to take it to the Supreme Court. She then asked the attorney to prepare an ordinance rescinding the County vote to approve the Lowe's. Chairman Moss declined to take any motions on the item and that was it, until the next installment of 'as the stomach turns'.

Should make for an interesting backdrop since there is another UDB approval hearing on for today! Any candidates against the unreformable majority worth noting?
No candidate yet except against Souto. No money however.
Why do we continue to fight on behalf of a big-box store at our OWN expense when our county is suffering financially? Make Lowe's pay for it if they want to keep fighting for it.
This is ridiculous but no one reads the paper or cares. We need everyone in Dade County to read this blog.
