Covenant With The People Broken by County Commissioners. By Geniusofdespair

The Miami Herald wrote: "Miami-Dade Commission changes stance, approves potential housing outside UDB - Four years after moving the Urban Development Boundary and approving commercial development on a parcel off Kendall Drive on the condition that no housing be built on the site, the Miami-Dade Commission reversed itself."

A "Covenant" is defined as:

1. A usually formal, solemn and binding agareement: compact;

2a. A written agreement or promise usually under seal between two or more parties especially for the performance of some action

b : the common-law action to recover damages for breach of such a contract.

I am not an attorney and do not understand the legal ramifications for "breaking" a covenant. What I do know, is that moving the UDP was done for no other reason but greed. These commissions are beyond saving, they all must go.

Consequently, if this is not enough to remove these dishonest people from office as quickly as possible, I wouldn'tknow what is.

Breaking a paromise is about as low as one can get, but breaking a promise/agreement made by elected leaders to their constituents is beyond conatempt. There is no hope for them. They cannot be trusted, and mistrust is worse fault any leader could ever have.

If we, the voters accept this action from the Miami-Dade County commissioners, we deserve anything they throw at us and we should shut up and not complain.

For me, I will never vote for or support any of of these people and will regard them for what they are, liars.

The commission simply approved what was being recommended by Mayor Gimenez and his administration. How can you have a problem with that?

The parcel in question was moved inside the UDB based upon the covenant.
This work around effort is outrageous and Woerner gave the commission all the rubber stamps they needed. Complete and total B.S.
Moss made great points about foreclosures, short sales and in-fill but this was a done deal.

Very sad that a promise a covenant is meaningless and spit on by our county commission.
