One thing Ariel managed to accomplish - he bamboozled Rip Holmes to drop his Mayoral bid and lessen voter turnout of those that would favor the Mayor's endorsed candidates, which includes the one that opposed him for his current seat. Have to give him credit for that play.
You forgot to mention that Ariel really likes freebees from local restaurants. The free meals from Bachour, made the bakery a staple of his former newsletter. I cannot imagine what he is getting for free now that he is a commissioner
Hasn’t there only been 4 Commission meetings? I don’t expect either Ariel or Castro to make monumental changes. Coral Gables is not in bad shape. I expect them to keep Lago in check and keep him honest (tall order I know). I expect them to question anything that is presented to them and have a dialogue on the dais. I expect them to be respectful to staff. I expect they not give special treatment to anyone. Most of all, I expect them to serve the residents of Coral Gables and not themselves.

We shall see. Time will tell.
Big disappointment
Very funny article! Too bad it’s all true
