Since 9 AM, I've been at City Hall for a scheduled meeting. It's 10:30, and the peasants must continue to wait. This commission's disregard for our community's time is unacceptable. Our voices matter, and it's time they start respecting that!

Ex-Miami Commissioner, lobbyist and lawyer Marc Sarnoff (paid by taxpayers to defend the crimes of Joe Carollo) doesn’t use the front door at city hall — he comes in Alex Diaz de la Portilla’s private entrance. No wonder they don’t want cameras at city hall!

Is PAMM's breaking the rules again? I tried buying a Saint Laurent purse or Lowe’s items inside - zilch. Nada. These are clearly not "museum-related items." It's straight-up commercial spam blighting our skyline. When will City Hall wake up and actually enforce the rules?

Appalling. Miami police treating the homeless like cattle, herding them away from the 'Bad Boys' film set as if they're an inconvenience to be hidden. This isn't just about a movie; it's about covering up the city's failure to address the homeless crisis. Disgraceful.
