Keep the light coming...I love it.

And...Miss Maserrati, does not live in Coral Gables? That address I believe is Miami.?

Kirk the Snake, always thought something wrong with him, when he can't look at you in the eyes.

Ariel,frustrated, insecure..thinks he is KING of the Commission.

All honesty, this is all very sad what is going on. I pray that sooner than later we can have a CIty Commission that is functional. Miss the old ones.

Later I will write some more...Keep them coming...

A light that shines brighter than the sun! Don’t we have enough global warming already? Looking forward to the next Aesops!

The light will soon shine on Captain Kirk's true colors! As it will upon Dr. Castro and Ariel and their manipulative and deceptive tendencies. Residents like yourself are the sunlight that will help our wonderful city prevail through this darkness. Thank you, Ms. Alas!

I was very disappointed in how KFC handled the City Manager ombroglio. It was ugly, petty and beyond unprofessional.

It was also disconcerting to realize there was an already handpicked candidate for CM. I always thought CG, being an international city, would do a national search rather than pick a buddy, who to all intents and purposes is NOT available, according to the County Mayor.

You're absolutely right, Ms. Terry! Unfortunately, KFC will take your comment and throw it in a trash bin with the rest of the emails, texts, and public comments that are in opposition to them and their twisted motives. I hear you, as do a lot of residents who feel the same as you. Captain Kirk's deceptiveness was on full display during this Commission meeting with his attempts to bring in Cutie. I am as disconcerted as you... Well stated!

Yes, there is big rhetoric. But what really drives Kirk, Ariel, and Melissa is just money. Since they failed in the private sector to be valuable and being compensated for the value created; instead the got elected ( two of them in a questionable turnaround election ) to make money from the Coral Gables citizens. Anybody trying to stop them, they either get fired or they get trashed in social media. They approved for themselves massive salary increases ( when, we, citizens, are happy to get a 4% increase, on our side). They use their positions to get favors ( e.g.: free meals at local restaurants ). And who knows what they may be getting behind the scenes from the real estate developers. Ariel, Kirk and Melissa are turning Coral Gables into a 'banana republic'.

By his own hand, Kirk's ship is rudderless, adrift and springing leaks.

What’s all this talk about bright lights? Sounds like our new CM is the coming of the messiah? Gimme a break folks. It’s local government. We are not finding the cure to cancer. Lighten up with all this brighter than the sun business. Unless it’s the lights of a UFO? Perhaps. Only Capt Kirk knows for sure🤣

I'm sure you still didn't read the post, Mr. Pedroso. You probably skipped right to the comment section and ignored all of the context of this post. The reality is, you are ignoring the fact that Captain Kirk (oh how I love the reference) has done some things that would not be well received by voters. Let's put it this way... If you vote for him, you will be complicit in the damage he causes to Coral Gables. How does that feel? Careful with that keyboard of yours, you keep hitting that darn little dollar sign. Or maybe that's your way of attracting Captain Kirk since money is all he cares about....

Still hiding I see. I read it all. You guys probably left Kirk out when selling city land to commissioners’ business partners and now he’s upset.

You must have a diagnosis for everything! You must see things we do not! Oh, almighty Mr. Pedroso, please enlighten us with your exceptional knowledge of the functions of Captain Kirk and your uncanny insight into the politics of Coral Gables. Tell us more, help us understand why he is so upset. Tell us why you support the slimy scoundrel! Perhaps he's including you in his shenanigans, how much is he paying you?!?

Fascinating! Is it a coincidence or a direct correlation that a "Ms. Blanco" used the same term on NextDoor only a few days ago? You must surely be using your real name, right Mr. Pedroso? You and Ms. Blanco sound eerily similar.
