First the Miami Herald placed a full page ad in their Mag. This time the newspaper SPONSORED their 29 Annual Presidential Installation Gala. There were 1,000 attendees and 40 elected officials there according to the January Issue of Proyecto. Yes 40!! Back to the Miami Herald, out of 7 sponsorship categories they were number 2, even in front of of the nitwits at FPL! The 40 elected officials troubles me but the Miami Herald sponsoring the LBA Dinner, that troubles me more, it taints the news to support an organization that has a clear development agenda. Maybe we should get funds from the Miami Herald for the Hold the Line group.Speaking of agendas, on their "In The News" page, it says "Walmart Exec appointed to Associated Industries of Florida's Environmental Sustainability Council." What?? The AIF has the nerve to use the words 'environmental and sustainable'? Associated Industries of Florida might be the most anti-environmental group in Florida. The magazine says:
"Michelle Belaire of Walmart will chair the recently created Environmental Sustainability Council for the Associated Industries of Florida (AIF). The Council will focus on environmental issues important to the business community."
Can anyone tell me an environmental issues that Associated Industries is not on the wrong side of?

Forty elected officials and people say we don't need amendment 4? Even the newspaper is participating. What other hope to the citizens have?
The Miami Herald has lost its way. This is a good example how advertising revenues influence the paper.
Please post the names of the 40 elected officials. Thanks.
Pathetic. But that's the Herald. "Fair and Balanced": in your imagination.
We have the best press and government money can buy.
Where am I suppose to get the names of the 40 politicians? YOU call them and ask for a list. See how far you got.
Sweetie! You expected anything different? LMFAO

Let's list the big, smart environmental ideas that average neighborhood residents have come up with. LEED? No, that was an idea of a business association, USGBC. Rural land stewardship? No, that was an idea of a developer in Collier County. A streetcar in Miami? No, that idea was championed by the developer of Midtown, but the city took it nowhere. I'm struggling here...
Maybe there is a silver lining in the Herald's giant suck-up. If they want to hitch their future to a dead industry (at least dead for many years)that is, for the most part, hated by the public they will continue to loose what few subscribers they have. Why can't the Herald see they are digging their grave? The scenario is perfect for an alternative paper to emerge.
The neighborhood residents have no place to voice their ideas two anonymous above this one.
But the public, they gave $9 EXTRA money a month to FPL to develop Solar energy projects and they were ripped off by FPL.
The public drive more efficient cars, they recyle, the care.
Rural land stewardship is not a Florida born idea -- it has been going for years elsewhere...and Johnny Winton wanted the streetcar....
You need a spanking for misinformation, writer of that off base comment trying to get accolades for developers on your biased list.
