| From Miami Today - Anyone Have Opinions on the other members? |
The Charter Review Task Force for Miami Dade County is taking shape. I find one thing extremely unfair: Hialeah has two Councilmen as Appointees.
Councilman Isis Garcia-Martinez, (a nasty lady) was put on by the City of Hialeah and the President of the League of Cities put himself on the Task Force -
He is Councilman Luis Gonzalez also a Council-member of the City of Hialeah. So the city that wanted to secede from the County gets 2 slots at the table. I am not really hot on elected officials being on our CITIZEN task force in the first place. There are four OTHER elected officials so far,
Doral Mayor Bermudez, Senator Rene Garcia, Rep. John Patrick Julien and Rep. Carlos Trujuillo. Thus, the CITIZEN Charter so far, will have 6 elected officials, out of 21 members. How did the Task Force morph into that? On the 2007 Task Force we had 3 elected officials, that was bad enough. There could be more politicians, all slots are not filled.
Worse, Natacha Seijas's
former Chief of Staff Terry Murphy was put on by Barbara Jordan.
This is the citizen's charter folks and look what we get. It Sucks! Putting on the
Barf Meter tag as suggested by a reader. It already had the
Sucks tag.
