To the Editor, In response to the May 31 Letter to the Editor from Hilda Fernandez, Assistant City Manager, Miami Beach: Ms. Fernandez reacted angrily to my disclosing that indicted Code Compliance supervisor Jose Alberto had whispered to me “She’s lying” while she was making a presentation on noise complaints to city commissioners. Her defense [...]
To the Editor: In response to your story on May 17, Your Own Code Officers Are Scared Sh―less!, in spite of the obvious close, personal relationship between Mr. Leo Ostreicher and Mr. Jose Alberto, as documented by Mr. Ostreicher’s acknowledgement that he lunched with Mr. Alberto regularly, I was still surprised (and disappointed) that he [...]
To the Editor: As you may know the City Manager of the city of Miami Beach is requiring all employees to sign a pledge against wrongdoing AND they must agree to report any misdeeds that they may encounter. This is a wonderful idea but unfortunately it lacks an essential ingredient. I would like to suggest [...]
An Open Letter to Mayor & Commissioners Dear Mayor Bower and City of Miami Beach officials: Thanks to these folks, I am no longer a resident of Miami Beach … [FBI Arrest Multiple Inspectors, Firefighters and Cop in Bribery Sting.] I finally caved and sold my unit just a few weeks ago as I really saw [...]
To the Editor: Thank you for your most informative articles: especially the ones regarding Politics. I would appreciate it if you would be so kind as to send my comments/opinions to Jeffrey Bradley the producer of the following article: September 8, 2011 Urban Beach Week Meet Sharia Law is very accurate when related to the [...]
To the Editor: After reading the column by Jeffery Bradley in the Sunpost August 11th edition I do want to say concerning Decobikes that I was recently for a week in Washington, DC and observed that in the District there is a similar bike service and the bikes have NO advertising on them. These bikes [...]
To the Editor: Your article on The Miami Beach Town Hall Meeting really described this event. It was like, “we saw behind the curtain” and it was not a very pretty sight. It was rather deceiving as to the real purpose of the meeting. There was no freedom of speech in this Town Hall meeting [...]
To the Editor: Reference: Anne Newport Royall News “Tuesday Morning Breakfast Club: Leggo My Peggo” August 11, 2011 The article that Anne Newport Royall has provided to we, members or attendants of the Tuesday Morning Breakfast Club, is interesting and reveals important parts of our getting together; very true indeed, but I would like to present [...]
To the Editor: Kudos to Miami Beach Commissioners Tobin, Weithorn and Wolfson for having the backbone to stand up and vote no on the obscene increase in property taxes passed by the other four commissioners. When will the City Commission, the City Administration and the people of this city wake up and come to grips [...]
To the Editor: How can we possibly pay more for property tax? I ask you, are we not paying enough? At some point, someone has to say “NO”. Thank God it finally happened. I applaud Tobin, Wolfson and Weithorn for finally speaking for the people of Mimi Beach and saying a resounding “NO” to raising [...]
To the Editor: “Parking spots reborn for a day”, (Miami Herald, Sept 18, by Andres Viglucci) is another demonstration that Miami ranks dead last in park space and our position sank further during our recent building boom. Why? Because the last Mayor and Commission failed to charge the proper impact fees for parks on new [...]
To the Editor: This is a very good ruling, and long, long overdue. There are so many children in Miami that need good homes, who are we to say that two men or two women cannot provide that loving and nurturing home? The realtity is, we have a high divorce rate and many children of [...]
