Today at 2pm Miami-Dade's Infrastructure and Land Use Committee meets and has on the agenda two resolutions sponsored by Carlos Gimenez that should be of interest to all our readers. The chair of the Committee is Natacha Seijas. Also on the Committee is Barbara Jordan, Bruno Barreiro, Jose Pepe Diaz, Jean Monestime and Rebeca Sosa. We suggest you watch the meeting to see what happens to these two worth resolutions (they should come up towards the middle of the meeting):

They decided to leave the items on the table, bascially rejecting the initiatives. Did we expect anything else??
