Please vote for me on April 8 for Commissioner of Coral Gables. I am committed to a return to fairness, balance and accountability at the Commission. Let’s get back to work!
Perhaps now we can begin going back to normalcy. Coral Gables is a small city, granted, but it is full of entitled and exacting residents (like me, really) who demand services, responses, action. Amos Rojas did none of that.

You surely have my vote and my family. VERY disgusting this NEW Commission since Ariel and Castro got on board.
We need transparency, educated, no nonsense individual on the Commission. All was working GREAT before KFC.Thank you for your bravery in running,and God willing will be the NEW Commissioner...God bless you Mr. LAra
You're entitled to a couple dozen victory laps. Bravo! (Or brava?)
Herbert Hoover called Prohibition, after its failure and repeal, "a noble experiment." The Rojas Experiment was hardly noble, and its sponsors would just as soon have us forget their machinations in launching this experiment in governance.
Tuesday should be fun, but the golden quill of your colleague, Ladra, is already setting the agenda. According to her: "Sources say that Rojas has suggested Assistant City Manager Albert Parjus step in as his replacement. But Ladra fully expects Mayor Vince Lago to, again, recommend an expensive national search."
It's adorable since she's writing eleven months after the Three Stooges had Rojas spring forth like Debbie Reynolds jumping out of the birthday cake in "Singing in the Rain." No search, no interviews, no vetting. But after $300k was thrown away on this flop, Ladra has the chutzpah to worry about the expense of a national search. (My cursory research suggests 30% of the position's salary is the normal fee.)
Given the obliviousness of KFC, it won't shock me to see them to see them try to shoehorn Parjus into the vacancy, but will Kirk Menedez want yet another albatross around his neck before the elction?
For people like KFC and many other 'resident-first champions', it is always about the money. More specifically, the money they can put in their pockets. Now that Amos Rojas got his $300K, in the bridge job in Coral Gables, it is time to move to other places. Now it is for us, real residents, to move KFC to other places, and to elect decent commissioners in our City Hall.
Let's hope that once closed, the chapter STAYS CLOSED.
What an awful year.
City needs to get back to BUSINESS
And that doesn't mean another whiplash half@$$ed CM appointment.

I'm no Republican, but you should use Warren Harding's motto, pledging "A Return to Normalcy."

You certainly do spin a lot, in circles!
