Miami willing to steal neighbors' contractors to clear Hurricane Irma ...

While Florida has become more diverse over the past two decades, its schools have grown increasingly segregated. And nowhere is the problem more acute than in Miami. That’s according to a new study from Florida State University’s LeRoy Collins Institute, which found that one-fifth of the state’s schools are intensely segregated, with African-American and Hispanic students making up 90 percent or more of the student body, compared to just over a tenth of Florida schools in the mid-1990s.

Two weeks after Hurricane Irma plunged the county into darkness and disarray, Miami-Dade’s mayor promised more ice, more staff to open shelters, more refuges for pets and more focus on public housing preparations for the next major storm. “All of these plans get rewritten after every event, because we learn new lessons,” Mayor Carlos Gimenez said during a special County Commission meeting on Irma, before introducing a campaign-style video that his communications staff prepared touting the admin..>> view originalMiami Beach to lose billions from alcohol ban; no reduction in crime ...
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Go ahead, picture Ocean Drive at 2 a.m. Think of the loud music, the traffic and the familiar sight of tourists and locals knocking back drinks.

Sixteen days after Hurricane Irma bulldozed a path across the Florida Keys, leaving a trail of steamy misery, roadside trash piles growing by the day, and a foot of water on his first floor, Capt. Steven Friedman stood on the bow of his boat in Florida Bay marveling at what he saw before him. Happy, oblivious, rolling tarpon gorging on a shrimp hatch in a browning mat of dead seagrass. Friedman grabbed a rod, made a few casts and hooked a tarpon. Then, after a few jumps and a valiant struggle,..>> view originalRemembering Miami's Playboy Club in the Wake of Hugh Hefner's ...
