>>> CORRECTION: The WDR was Duped when Trump said he would be arrested last Tuesday. The man seems to be relishing the prospect of an arrest.
>>>”WE will be fine,” says Mayor Levine Cava, re replacing housing Dir. Liu, with Alex Ballina, developer BASF incoming president, former county employee, high stakes choice for mayor and affordable housing.
“We will be fine,” wrote county mayor Daniella Levine-Cava, in a text. I had asked about the Housing Dept. Director Michael Lui, leaving the department. She chose Alex Ballina, formerly an incoming president of the BASF, and former county employee.
Because Liu had to totally reform the department that HUD took over after a Pulitzer Prize Miami Herald Series called “House of lies.” Detailing the abuse and political connected friends, getting projects uncompleted and some went to jail like Raul Masvidal, and had charges for a watermelon piece found in a garage. With Levine-Cava’s election coming up next year this could be one of her most important appointees’ for a successful re-election.
EDITORIAL
>>> You may not take an interest but that does not mean politics may not take an interest in you.
The nation is facing two—days of wondering if former president Donald J. Trump will be arrested (or is this like when Trump said Mikhail Gorbachev would come to Trump Tower, and did not), after his message on Truth Social Saturday. The announcement unconfirmed, states he will “be arrested”, and the nation is bracing for what might occur. After the Jan 6,insurrection.He wants his supporters to protest, “and take back our nation,” he wrote, and republican leaders are hedging their bets.
Editor’s note: having gone to G.W.U. in Washington And given how divided we are as a nation. I have great reverence for the Constitution. And actually, carry a mini version in my reporter’s notebook. I also listened to many congressional debates on Vietnam. Plus, all the years living in Asia and first going to China, in 1976 with a medical delegation and it was like stepping back to 1890, and children froze when they saw me. That’s why on Saturday morning the news broke. I Had trouble thinking of local issues still important, but this is a historical event if it occurs, and will further, muddy the political waters, hopefully be peaceful. The issue is a hush fund payment to an adult star Stormy Daniels seven years ago. Trump supporters think these may be bogus political charges, especially so long ago, and the future is unknown. Next week I will be back to normal and want to thank the John.S. and James L. Knight Foundation for all the support since 2000 and too this day.For more on:www.knightfoundation.org

A normal WDR will return next week, with the story “I can’t be defeated,” says Miami commissioner Joe Carollo, on Thursday, worse thing politician can say.
>>> Now cameras at Miami City Hall, in lobby because past Com., didn’t want a record of who was going in, says Reyes, and WDR knew in 2002, police to make study & recommendations on security passes no discussion on dais issue kryptonite to commissioners.
With the mystery of who vandalized Miami Commissioner Manolo Reyes office deepening. The lack of cameras in the city hall lobby is because “commissioners didn’t want a record of who was coming into the building,” which I knew from back in 2002 when the chambers and lobby were updated to what it is today.
He confirmed that Saturday, to the WDR at the swearing in of new commissioner Sabina Covo to District 2 replacing out going commissioner Ken Russell who resigned after running for congress, which he lost. She beat out 13 rivals for the coveted seat along the bay. Covo beat out Eddy Leal and fourth was disgraced judge Martin Zilber, who raised the most money got support from Carollo, and Diaz de la Portilla, but had too much baggage resigning the bench for using staff for personal errands and skipped fifty-one paid days of work, not authorized.
What about races being non-partisan?
The idea of municipal races being non-partisan races in Miami is over since Covo is a democrat. The two republican commissioners Joe Carollo and Alex Diaz de la Portilla, did not attend the swearing in and constantly were taking digs at Russell who told the WDR in “the divided nation, being partisan is the only way to win.” Covo, had the support of county mayor Daniella Levine Cava, county commissioner Eileen Higgins both democrats. Covo, a former member the media, will have her hands full fending off the two commissioners. The WDR wishes her luck and when it comes to honesty, and good government you can’t be a little bit pregnant. She also falls under the Miami-Dade County ethics and public trust commission and their investigators.
What about the lawsuit involving city attorney Vicky Mendez, and her husband, just stirring up trouble, she said Sat., at city hall. She has also said the charges are libelous in the media.
The city attorney’s office should be the center board of good government though one attorney I asked, who do you work for the citizens? He remarked “I work for three votes on the commission,” he said back then.
Former Miami mayor Tomas Regalado is considering running for mayor again, since Francis Suarez is termed out. He originally won, years ago because of the Marlin’s stadium debacle, that after financing costs some $1.6 billion, and cannot be paid off early and has large future debt payments. Regalado has been doing a television show since he left the office and claims Suarez is not working in the office. Suarez is also mulling a presidential campaign, which many consider a long shot.
>>>Redo important: Miami-Dade County Alert: The county’s election department should mandate voter workers wear their county I.D. Since, the current Miami special election is a prime example of this problem. That I witnessed Saturday at 3:45 P.M. at the Miami city hall early voting site.
Men were loading Ryder trucks with one man wearing his ID, but many others had none as they brought out the voting machines and black trash containers. County employees not complying. to reduce the public perception people might be tampering with the equipment. County employees not wearing identification has been a persistent problem around the county for years, except at JHS, since a hospital.
With all the voter conspiracy rumors going on the county’s Christine White the supervisor, should jump on this for the Miami Dist. 2 commission race has only some 4,000 votes so far and will likely be a close race that hopefully doesn’t elect disgraced judge Martin Zilber and his massive war chest for the race versus the challengers, and support from two commissioners Joe Carollo and Alex Diaz de la Portilla, big Zilber fans and is seen as an ally for them.
Former mayor Miami commissioner Carollo once again suggests that any non-Miami resident should not be heard.
>>> Sen. Fetterman’s, D-Pa. addressing clinical depression after a stroke, very common, a godsend to public with similar symptoms, including me after my stroke in 2013.
Sen. John Fetterman’s stroke and being treated for clinical depression, is something I personally felt after my stroke in 2013.My neurologist Dr. Ajay Pande, M.D., at Baptist Health, suggested I seek treatment for the subsequent depression, at the time and I am glad I did, and his advice, has kept me writing the WDR to this day. ,
>>>Termed out county commissioner Sosa, starts cancer treatment soon, solid official, no hint of scandal, over decades in office former mayor, get better soon Rebeca.
County Commissioner Rebeca Sosa via twitter that she is starting cancer treatment, and I wish the former West Miami mayor the best for over the decades there was never a hint of scandal, and she was an advocate for good transparent government over the decades and was a teacher in the public school’s district. She replaced removed replaced indicted commissioner Miriam Alonso, for a bogus slush fund.
>>> County’s use of herbicides on foliage reduction, variation of Round-up to control foliage run-off to Biscayne Bay, says county resiliency officer Murley, trying natural solutions, when possible, coastal storm surge walls out for now with corps new diagrams show.
Miami-Dade County with “366 miles of canals,” uses pesticide to keep foliage trees later leaches into Biscayne Bay. The county is trying to use natural efforts but herbicide like Roundup is frequently used and shows up in fish and peoples urine state Florida universities’ studies on the chemical impact of such foliage removal compounds. Further cars in canals have been a persistent problem. They are also trying to reestablish the Balsam Torchwood tree, long extinct.
The issue came up Friday at the Biscayne Bay Watershed Advisory Board in the commission chambers and Chief Resilience Officer Jim Murley, in discussion with storm surge. The corps plan for surge walls along the water are being replaced with natural solutions if they fit the circumstances after the walls faced a huge public outcry and two charettes to discuss the plan are in the months ahead, with a final plan in 2027, anticipated. The cleanup of Biscayne Bay with state and federal governments, spending millions to clean up the bay.
Which is also should be using the scavenger vessel more with only one in operation and is a technological bargain at $1 million for a second such vessel, to help the bay and Round-up use should be reviewed in Miami-Dade County.
>>> Anniversary of life saving procedure when I was septic at South Miami, Baptist Health, hospital in 2009, and I thank you Dr. Jorge Rabaza for saving my life, back then.
The next few days is the anniversary of my almost passing in 2009. I was septic and operated on at 2;00 p.m., “because I could not wait,” not something you want to hear from a surgeon, said Jorge Rabaza,M.D. at South Miami Hospital back then and he said, “I was a flip of the coin,” that I survived, he said and since then every day is a free day.,

February 23, 2023
With litigation resolved, work is underway on the Coconut Grove Playhouse project. The City of Miami has approved Miami-Dade County’s submission of a demolition waiver, which exclusively addresses the issue of trees on the property. As the next step in the process, the County has submitted a demolition permit which is being reviewed by the city. This permit covers asbestos removal, shoring up the historic front building (which will be restored in its entirety), extracting the remaining historic architectural elements from the auditorium (to be incorporated in the new theater), and demolishing the auditorium (where the new theater will be constructed). The Miami-Dade County team is working cooperatively with City staff on implementing this important project.

Student Athletes dying from sudden cardiac death, was highlighted at Wednesday’s school board meeting. Sudden death is common with athletes and the need for a EKG screening is important.

Editorial
>>>Carollo, wrong to limit public speakers to Miami residents, such diverse county all interrelated should be able to speak.
The city of Miami limiting public time to non-city residents is a bad policy being pushed by commissioner Joe Carollo and despite his insistence of democracy in the chamber. He is off mark, and all citizens given how interconnected Miami-Dade is should have the right to speak about issues and not just limited to Miami residents, because they vote, is a slap in the face to the public and should be repudiated by the commission. But likely will not.
