DON'T BE STUPID THIS IS NOTHING BUT A SWIFT BOAT TACTIC. She talked to both mayors and they assured it was going to happen - a done deal - so she tried to get some jobs for the people - her "lemonade" reference. SHE WAS NEVER AT ANY TIME IN FAVOR OF THE STADIUM.
Don't be fooled by the woman Lynda Bell who named a building with $10 million of public money in it after her mother who never did one blessed thing in Miami. Lynda Bell is a lying egomaniac with a husband being investigated for absentee ballot fraud. When you hardly have any education and you worked as a domestic it is hard to run a campaign without lying -- you have nothing else to run on except Lynda Bell using her roto-rooter mouth to make baseless attacks as she shuffles papers and holds them up accusingly and points her stupid finger at others. Expect glossy mailers and TV commercials from Lynda bending the truth into a knot

Linda Bell tries to distract voters with untruthful statements about her opponent and herself. The fact is she supports business as usual in her county votes, gets most of her campaign cash from the usual suspects, and attacks middle class working people. Half truths, outright fabrications of her opponent and her record are all the reasons not to give her another term as commissioner.
The Miami Herald: The mysterious advertisement mailed to some Miami-Dade County voters this week is an attack against commission candidate Daniella Levine Cava -- disguised as a sarcastic compliment.
"THANKS FOR DELIVERING MARLINS STADIUM!" the flier says. "Clearly, the stadium's $634 million dollar price tag is a small price to pay for this jewel of our community."
The ballpark's unpopular public financing contributed to the ouster of a former county mayor and commissioner, and the issue has become the third rail of county politics. Incumbent Lynda Bell, a commissioner since 2010, has accused the nonprofit social-services agency Levine Cava founded, now known as Catalyst Miami, of supporting the stadium deal.
Bell has cited a 2008 commission meeting in which the nonprofit's policy director spoke about how to make the ballpark agreement better. (The flier says it was Levine Cava who "stood up and made sure the funding was approved.") The policy director called the financing deal "a feat of creativity and ingenuity."
She didn't say so outright, but the policy director was speaking against the deal, according to the speaker's card she signed, and proposing ways to make it more palatable. "This was an example of how we were trying to turn lemonade out of lemons," Levine Cava said on television last week.
Other activists whose groups were part of the coalition against the stadium, including Frank Del Vecchio of Miami Beach, have attested that Levine Cava's nonprofit organized in opposition of Marlins Park.
But Bell, caught in the most heated commission race of the year, has dismissed that.
"The poor thing obviously signed the wrong card," Bell said on the same TV show, WPBT's Issues with Helen Ferré.
Levine Cava blamed the flier on Bell. "Unlike my opponent, I have long been a champion of holding government accountable and ensuring taxpayer dollars are well spent," Levine Cava said in a statement late Wednesday.
The mystery flier, though, didn't come from the commissioner.
Instead, it came from a Tampa-based political group -- with the liberal-sounding name Committee for Progressive Values, Inc. -- registered to a Republican consultant, Anthony Pedicini. Also listed on the committee are Carmela Falcone of Melbourne and Michael Milner of Jensen Beach -- a duo who have registered other political groups, including one that mailed a Dolphins stadium-related advertisement to Miami-Dade voters last year.
Pedicini did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
Committee for Progressive Values hasn't reported raising any money since June 20. Among its contributors before then was Carlos J. Gimenez, the son of Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez. The mayor is backing Bell. The younger Gimenez said Thursday he made the contribution for a May poll unrelated to the commission race.
The bulk of the committee's funds came from other conservative fundraising committees; last year, Committee for Progressive Values paid the firm of Jose Luis Castillo -- now Bell's campaign manager -- for phone banking.
Commission races are nonpartisan, but Bell is a Republican and Levine Cava is a Democrat -- and Democrats in particular have made sure to highlight that on the campaign trail. Now Republicans appear to be stepping in to assist Bell.
Even before the flier, Levine Cava was using the Marlins attack line as a fundraising pitch to donors. "Help Daniella expose these lies," her campaign emailed supporters last week.
But Levine Cava has also had to twice explain her former agency's ballpark stance on television, and she put out an automated call denying supporting the stadium. If explaining is losing in politics, then Levine Cava can probably expect Bell and her supporters to keep bringing up Marlins Park.

Lynda Bell just voted to give the County owned Parcel B site to a start-up. Parcel B might be appraised at $300 Mil. Bell never asked if the elderly gentlemen who wanted the free land had any experience running a $120 Mil museum. In fact, she never asked if they had any money to build. AND Bell never suggested the County solicit bidders for the waterfront land.
After being aloof, Lynda is knocking on my neighbors' doors asking if there are any problems and getting her staff to jump on any issues. Subtle as a brick.
Lynda is desperate and Gimenez knows he is losing his greatest ally on that commission
Daniella only supported it after it was a done deal to get more jobs for people. I wish linda bell would shut her fat mouth.
Now you all know what we in Homestead have been saying all along. Stay clear of this horrible woman. We in Homestead have the bruises to know what we are talking about.
There is no politician worse than Lynda Bell, NONE! She will do anything to get elected, she has no morals running around with a Bible pretending to be holier than thou. As if God does not know all about her.
Whatever you do, please, save our future, do not vote for Lynda Bell.
Would serve Gimenez right.
She was against it before she was for it. LOL!
Lol you are a Rwpublican putz
Lol you are a Rwpublican putz
Heh. I got that big postcard and studied it carefully, noting that it came from Tampa and the Committee for Progressive Values. I laughed as I threw it in the trash but thought of all the idiots who would believe what they read. I'm a registered Republican who votes for the most progessive candidate on the ballot and Bell sure isn't one of them. I love wasting Republican campaign money and voting for anyone but the GOP endorsed candidates in the primaries! More people should try it - imagine all the Democrats registering as Republicans and voting for a moderate or (God forbid!) a liberal Republican! Hee hee hee ...
Bell is coming off her recent vote to give away Parcel B, the waterfront park site.
