Mimi Planas (pictured here with her son), candidate in District 10, has raised $20,718.23 so far in small donations -- mostly $25 each. This past cycle she raised $5,809. Of course, she is going against the big bucks of the Rambling Man, Javier Souto. He has over $200,000 in his coffin...I mean coffers - his donations are mostly $500 each.
Send Mimi money. I implore you District 10: Vote for Mimi. Save the rest of the County from having to listen to one more idiotic, rambling speech by Javier. He is past his prime, put him out to pasture with his cattle. We love Mimi!

Go Mimi!
Planas is the best(Prime)! choice in this race! Whaaaat!!!Whaaaat!!!
I like Souto. He has done good for this community, without ever a blemish to his name. Never had anything dirty - always transparantly clean; always stays close to constituents concerns by having monthly town meetings; he goes around his district and if he sees litter, he actually gets out of his car and picks it up the trash!
He has beautified our streets with palm trees. His is the best choice (for me, anyway).
We need TERM LIMITS. This man is an Over-The-Hill pharmaceutical rep.
Time for NEW VISION - Someone that is AWAKE on the dias.
My family voted for Souto all these years and he has yet to visit our business because we don't serve Cuban Cafe. Well this young lady has visited, listened to our concerns and had a cup of our freshly brewed tea.
Thank you Ms Planas for going out to help make our community a better place for all. We will vote for you.
Vote for Planas. Souto has taken money from big developers for his campaign coffers. Wake up District 10. He has been there for 17 YEARS!!! It's time to move on.
if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Stay with sOUTO. No one is perfect, but he h as done a lot of good.
There's a old cuban proverb: Mas vale malo por conocido que bueno por conocer.
I agree. Souto has had INTEGRITY,...something lacking today. This is what is wrong with today. We're a 'throw away societ'. We don't respect nor appreciate an older person. We immediately call them senile and want to get rid of them...so different from other cultures that embrace the wisdom of the elderly.
...but he is senile.
Souto is not wise, just elderly. Just because he has wrinkles and a shaky voice does not mean that he somehow knows what is best for us or is in touch with reality. He has long ceased to be a vigorous, critical thinker who can control his own mouth and has no clue how to be succinct. Also, in other cultures, age was the only way to acquire wisdom and knowledge. Nowadays, education, new forms of media, and common sense can create a lot of great leaders who can outperform old buzzards like Souto.
wisdom is not the same as knowledge.
wisdom comes with life experiences, not books.
Souto has no wisdom by any stretch of the imagination.
Souto continuously makes ethnic slurs against whatever you want to call non African American, non Hispanics. I use to call them Anglos, but that offended them. Anyway, I am sick and tired of Souto's euphemisms towards whites. He thinks he is being clever but all of us wine drinking cheese eating people (the wine and cheese set) living East of Biscayne know what he means....
If Souto is so honest, why did he change his mind on voting for funding for the Marlins Baseball stadium deal? That was a dumb vote for a dumb project that taxpayers should not be paying for in anyway shape or form! Where is there a great candidate from this district?
I think the the stadium is going to be a greatr asset to this city.... so I disagree with you. Let time take its course and you will see.
Commissioner Souto's parks non-profit got big bucks donations from the Marlins and then the he changes his mind. The old guy (Souto) was adamantly opposed to the public funding of the baseball stadium for months, yet he changed his mind at the 11th hour for publicly funding the professional baseball stadium? That sure was a curious move, don't you think?
Souto should RETIRE!
The former State Sen. Souto is the same guy who rides around the district taking pictures of zoning problems and reporting them to the county.
That's right and then he "solves" the problem for either the big property owner or the "little people" whoever needs his help most.
All I ever needed to know about Souto I learned about 20 years ago while working as a volunteer for WLRN, the local public radio station. Mr. Souto was visiting the studio and had parked in the building's rear parking lot typically reserved for the station's employees. When he found he couldn't enter the building's rear door, which for security reasons was kept locked except for station employees with special access cards, he threatened - as a state senator - to cut the station's funding. Yeah, it was a long time ago but nothing he's ever said or done since then makes me think he has lost that sense of entitlement, either for himself or his district, and only his district.
Thank you Souto's staff member. That is a good argument for incorporation. We don't need the county in the pothole business.
What happened to my comment Yesterday on this thread?
I don't haver anything against Souto, I believe he has done our community well, but I believe is time for term limits, 17 years is way to much! We need to give the chance to others who want to make a difference in our community with a vision that we could be the best place to live! New blood, new minds is always good! GO MIMI PLANAS Dist. 10.
Could you please do some coverage on the State House Races? There are a lot of bad people who are part of the Tallahassee click that keeps doing nothing and they raise a ton of cash. They are all controlled by David Rivera or the Diaz de la Portilla crew. Sickening and they are aiming to destroy our good candidates.
The Herald won't do it. Eye on Miami should!
So why isn't the Herald at least making a minimal attempt to roust out commissioners like Souto? Honestly the paper has given up on Miami. They have a couple of good reporters, and the publisher just wants ad dollars so why offend the insiders who support the incumbents to get the zoning changes they want so they can be better ad customers to the Herald whose publisher is compensated based on the bottom line. Souto has nothing to fear from the Herald, and he and his majority just thumb their noses at the paper too.
