Coral Gables Gazette Raises the Questions

The recent editorial of the Gazette https://gables-gazette.com/editorial-optimism-is-earned-coral-gables-next-step-is-proving-it/analyzes carefully the implication of statements by Mayor Lago on measures to improve, make efficient and relevant to the residents.

Here are some of the cogent statements in reference to in the editorial:

• An April 2026 referendum on election timing, commission compensation, the creation of an independent Inspector General and clearer rules for reserve-fund use
• The completion of major park and recreation projects—the Underline extension, the proposed David Lawrence Neighborhood Park, the restoration of the Venetian Pool, and improvements at Phillips Park.
• The opening of Fire Station No. 4 on Sunset Drive, expected to reduce the coverage gap between stations from five miles to two miles
• A restoration of historic City Hall “to its original architectural grandeur,” ensuring the building remains functional for another century.

The views of the Gazette are recommended.
