COVID-19 CRISIS: Miami-Dade County Looking Bad

June 14, 2020 Leave a comment

There is strong evidence here that the social and business opening of Miami-Dade County, the City of Coral Gables and the State of Florida has been a failure in mitigating the COVID-19.

In a rush to get business going, and instead of having an effective economic buffer through unemployment insurance and small business loans and subsidies, workers cannot stay at home. This is the fault of government.

It is time to delay reopening or we will be in trouble very soon.

COVID-19 CRISIS: Florida Politicians Ignore Reality

June 12, 2020 Leave a comment

Shows that the COVID-19 cases are rising as testing arises. There were hidden cases that are just being discovered.

Florida politicians at all levels–state, county and municipality–are driven exclusively by political and business interests.

Florida is forcing people back to work against their rights by not paying unemployment benefits.

Florida politicians should be standing and yelling out for people to use masks and follow social distancing now.

Miami-Dade should create citizen oversight board for police | Miami Herald

…county leaders will need to stand strong in the face of police unions, which have already come out swinging against any citizen oversight. Steadman Stahl, president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association union, told the Herald, “They want to be totally independent. They answer to nobody. I think that’s kind of dangerous.”
Here’s what’s far more dangerous: cowardly politicians who create a lapdog panel and ensure that it is the police who answer to nobody. Out-of-control police officers are dangerous, too. It’s time to stop giving them cover.
