Rumor and Truth Factory: Miami Dade County. By Geniusofdespair

Yes I do report rumors and truth...


Codina Partners in February hired a shitload of lobbyists. Now what is he up to?

Lennar's Mega-Development Parkland, (on the wrong side of the Urban Development Boundary) a DRI from 11/2005 -- according to the South Florida Regional Planning Council is still alive. Jeff Bercow is no longer lobbying for them according to the lobbyist list. Bercow is lobbying for Panattoni Development Company's approval for Westview Property. According to the bizjournals.com, Westview is seeking $9.5 Million in taxpayer funds. That is OUR funds.

Parkland might be coming back during the May CDMP cycle although I don't see a lobbyist for it yet. It is time. Lennar has been itching to get it going according to a Lennar insider. Yes, I know developers.

Rebeca Sosa said she is NOT running for County Mayor. Raquel Regalado is stuck on the fence on the Mayoral run.

Lynda Bell gets some retribution -- after her chain link fence fiasco, that partly did her in -- from Javier Souto, who hates chain link fences. He says they cheapen neighborhoods. This is on the Agenda today:
4F 150330 Ordinance Sen. Javier D. Souto, Prime Sponsor ORDINANCE RELATING TO ZONING; MODIFYING REGULATIONS REGARDING CHAIN LINK FENCES; AMENDING SECTIONS 33-11 AND 33-311 OF THE CODE OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA; PROVIDING SEVERABILITY, INCLUSION IN THE CODE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE Commissioner Souto is seeks to ban the installation of new chain link fences around the County. Under the changes proposed in this item, chain link fences will only be allowed in areas zoned IU districts, AU districts and GU districts trended agricultural.


Rally to save endangered land

Pine Rockland: This is on the Agenda today -- I heard 40 people are there to speak but it is getting deferred for a second time (wear the people down, that is what they do, make everyone go all the way downtown...for nothing). I heard he wasn't even at the Commission, will have to turn on the TV to see if this is a rumor:

142509 Resolution Dennis C. Moss, Prime Sponsor
RESOLUTION DECLARING CERTAIN GEOGRAPHIC AREA OF UNINCORPORATED MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA DESCRIBED GENERALLY AS BOUNDED ON THE NORTH BY SW 152 STREET, ON THE WEST BY SW 137 AVENUE, ON THE SOUTH BY SW 184 STREET, AND ON THE EAST BY SW 117 AVENUE TO BE A SLUM OR BLIGHTED AREA; DECLARING THE REBUILDING, REHABILITATION, CONSERVATION AND REDEVELOPMENT OF THE AREA TO BE IN THE INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, MORALS AND WELFARE OF RESIDENTS OF RICHMOND HEIGHTS/METROZOO AREA, AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA; FINDING NEED FOR CREATION OF COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY; AND DIRECTING THE COUNTY MAYOR OR COUNTY MAYOR’S DESIGNEE TO PREPARE A REDEVELOPMENT PLAN(Office of Management and Budget)
On another note...
My eyes are so itchy I could scream.  Should I change our logo to this? I think so, to keep an Eye on Miami it is pretty painful.  I can see again and everything is fine except for the damn itching. Thank you all for your good wishes.  I am very cranky.

The Moss resolution uses the word "moral" as in for the moral benefit of the people. This one part of it makes me and should make others go nuclear and ballistic. Mr.Moss there is nothing moral about you anymore or your sickening resolution. With this you have lost any moral high ground you ever had. But you can rehabilitate yourself. Wise up and realize that your legacy if you don't change your course will be that you helped kill a world wide endangered ecosystem all for temporary financial and political gain...and a cheesy water theme park.

As frustrating and painful as it is, itching is a sign of healing. Sometimes it is worse before it gets better. Hang in there.

Dennis Moss is the same dude who with Bruno "the dim" Barrerio demanded that the taxpayers give $2.8 Billion to Jeff Loria so Loria could keep 100% of ALL revenues.

He has done nothing in the Black communities he serves either. Look at those communities, do you see any physical or human capital improvements? I don't know why people want this kind of power, and have no desire to help people.

Dennis Moss you have lost your way and vision on what is best for the citizens of Richmond Heights. This area is NOT blighted and slum. How dare you work against our welfare and best interest.

GENIUS, DON'T DESPAIR, I WAS THERE! HEARD EVERYBODYS COMMENTS. I AM NOT OUT TO DESTROY THE PINE ROCKLANDS, THE BEETLE, THE BAT OR THE BUTTERFLY. TRYING TO FIND A BALANCE BETWEEN THE ENVIRONMENT AND THOUSANDS OF JOBS. I AM MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, ON THE SIDE OF THOSE OPPOSING MIAMI WILDS, BUT ON THIS ONE I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE FOR NOW.

Thank you Commissioner Moss for responding I have not been on top of my game since my operation and I appreciate your clearing the record. I know you care deeply about the environment and I do respect you. Let's see if we can come to some sort of resolution to this matter. With the proposed Hallandale Beach themepark and now this North West Dade themepark today, I don't think we need another theme park. And we certainly don't need another Walmart -- think legacy. And I appreciate your good wishes after my operation.
