• Hialeah Mayor, a 54-Year-Old Adult, Attempts to Pay $4,000 Fine in Pennies | Miami New Times

  

  We have it on good word that Carlos Hernandez is a 54-year-old who has graduated from college and spent ten years as either a commissioner or mayor for the city of Hialeah.Wow, sounds like that guy has it together? He probably wouldn't try to pull any juvenile stunts. I bet when that guy is faced with problems he finds calm, rational ways to deal with them, you might think.You'd be wrong.The Hialeah mayor was hit with a $4,000 fine from the Miami-Dade Ethics Commission this year, and in response, he had operatives show up with 28 buckets filled with 400,000 pennies yesterday to pay the fine.That sounds like the kind of juvenile shit a delusional brat like Justin Bieber might pull,you're now ..

  Headlines of political glory belonged to well-funded winners — incumbents all — but don’t dismiss the vigorous voices that emerged against overdevelopment.Quality of life vs. density was on the ballot in Tuesday’s elections in Miami Beach and Hialeah, a theme hopefully here to stay countywide.There was one big victory for preservation in North Beach, but pro-development incumbents mostly won. What else is new? Yet, the reelected, and those running in 2016, would be misguided to dismiss the discontent residents expressed in two of the county’s largest cities.In Hialeah, the approval of a 250-unit rental apartment complex in an east side neighborhood of single-family homes gave rise to the fir..
