They like to sneak things past the public in summer

As long-time Miamians know, the local government likes to scam people in the summer when many residents are on vacation and not paying attention to politics.

So, as usual, they are trying to get something by on the public on Thursday, August 6 when the City Commission has decided to have a "special" meeting to hear the Miami 21 zoning changes. Many are disturbed by this and would like you to remember the politicians involved at election time. Diminishing citizen participation by doing this in the summer is unconscionable.

The meeting is at 2 pm (when the people in town are working), so please try to attend and Miami Neighborhoods United is requesting that you email Commission Chairman Joe Sanchez and ask that the meeting be moved to the fall, when more citizens can attend. His email address is JSanchez@miamigov.com
