Send in the Clowns
The commission appointed a new city manager yesterday, which you can see for yourself in the clip below. It is extremely long, but every minute is worth watching, I promise. You have never seen anything like this in the so-called City Beautiful. In fact, you have not seen this in Hialeah, Doral, or even Joe Carollo’s Miami. All of that is mostly dysfunction and run-of-the-mill corruption. But this…this is self-immolation on a municipal scale. This is KFC’s Coral Gables.
I will have a full analysis soon enough. But, for now, I wanted you to have an opportunity to see it for yourself without me in your ear. Some truths really are self-evident:
Much more to come…
There are many of us that know what is going on in the City, working there everyday. What hypocrisy! Melissa insist on trying to run the bldg dept directing staff as if she were their director. She comes in here and tells us how to deal with permit runners - really???? Does no one else see the conflict??? Why do residents continue to allow this behavior?
Is Mr Rojas applying for Homeland Security? He seems like a nice enough fellow but what is his experience in dealing with developers? Any engineering background? What is his proficiency in financial management? A CM must be capable of analyzing complex issues to enact policies. No disrespect to Mr Rojas but he would be a great candidate to work alongside Chief Hudak but sadly, this man does not possess the qualities necessary to be our City Manager. Please keep searching!!!!!
