One-on-One with Mayor Daniella Levine Cava | Facing South Florida 

We understand budgets should reflect inflation, but only to a degree. A HUGE portion of our budget is from fixed costs, not affected by inflation. For the county's budget to grow parallel with inflation, or exceed it, is unconscionable. People's income has not kept pace with inflation, which has gone up 29% since the mayor took office. Those of us on fixed income like SS, have lost the equivalent of about 26% of our purchasing power in the same period. And frankly, I don't know where our money has gone. I see a reduction of services, worsening services and worsening condition of our infrastructure. I see roadways with unrepaired potholes, an international airport with broken escalators, worsening water quality in canals, lakes, and beaches, traffic lights that are still not synchronized, less police presence, and I could go on. I'm not voting for this mayor again. Mayor Cava cannot defend any of this, and she cannot point to any progress on any front, despite her claim to fame gargantuan projects. Where are they? I believe our money is not well spent. There are misplaced priorities, and diversion of Trust funds must also be taking place. Her management of our finances deserve an independent investigation. We've had zero accountability, and with that, total impunity for this mayor to run us into the poorhouse. We lost control of the expressway authority. That too is a black eye. Gosh, I could go on, but I'll stop there. Enough said. Wake up Dade County!

LYING LYING LYING AS ALWAYS.

No friggin train to Florida City from North Dade, why isn't there a fast rail already? Why? Because this mayor is RECKLESS spending OUR money with NOTHING to show for it. Vote her out!

Why would Mayor Lavigne negotiate up for real estate deals? When no one else was trying to buy it make it make sense then someone reported wrote about it and she backed out. 🤨

Mayor sharing his food might solve hunger in America

Jim did a very good interview. Now i know for sure what changes I will vote for.

She is the same liar politician, and she has done a horrible job

Budget has grown a thousand per year you would think we all the new housing that we wouldn’t have taxes increased but we still did. In 2022 I paid 800 and now in 2023 4500.00 that’s literally my 3% yearly raise to taxes instead of me enjoying the money I made .

Daniella Levine Cava is all talk, all tax. Where is the Metrorail extension construction? Where is the commuter rail down south to Homestead? Oh... She focused on the "Better Bus Network," which really turned out to be the Broken Bus NOTwork! She's bloated the size of government, and she wants to raise taxes even further & float a $2.5B bond?! NO!

There are so many challenges to running a county than one can even imagine! Politicians are human beings. DLC has done more for Miami-Dade residents and our natural landscapes than the last mayor. Daniella has my vote (again).

Love Our Madam Mayor! 4 more years 🎉😊

The Mayor lied on nearly every question. Christian Ulvert came to my house and offered a quid pro quo to drop out of the race. The incinerator is going back to Doral, everyone knows it. The Mayor claims to know everything but knows nothing at the same time. Commissioner Regalado has the contract to operate the jails, yet the Mayor doesn't know? She mentioned this 2 weeks ago to the Miami Herald. This Mayor doesn't pay her share of taxes and has committed perjury on her Form 6, you didn't ask about that even though you have the evidence. This is all smoke and mirrors and you are culpable in the bamboozlement of the public. How much did the Mayor pay you and CBS for this interview? How much did the Mayor pay to keep other candidates off your program? Why haven't you mentioned any other candidates or had them on your program except Otaola who everyone knows doesn't have a chance to win? There are federal lawsuits against the county because of constitutional violations by the county. No mention...Jim, you are bought. Where is my interview? I'm on the ballot (Miguel Quintero). How much do I have to pay for an interview like this? What a sham. You are on notice and I'm calling you out. You have done a great disservice to the public and you should be ashamed. I bet you take down this comment because you know full well you are allowed to be bought and you are. You and CBS have the right to censor and remove comments. But this will still come out. The public has the right to know the truth. The public has the right to know the Mayor engages in dirty politics and no mention of that. The Mayor and her business partner Richard Cava engage in illegal activities and no mention of that. You have all this evidence. Again, no mention. Interview me and prove me wrong...I'm on the Ballot (Miguel Quintero). No mention of the dirty politics of removing my bonafide nickname? No. Because you are bought. This was a sham interview. Ask me the hard questions, you get straight to the point answers. Good luck, I'm calling you out.

It's crazy people vote for BIG government, BIG budgets, BIG pensions for yearly hiring increases for government jobs, HIGHER taxes! People will run to the polls to vote for her! Crazy!! And oh by the way, you can't afford housing because of BIG government for which you voted for!

THIS is what political incompetence looks and sounds like. You have 9 BILLION DOLLARS for the airport, and you can't get it in world-class condition? Your level of incompetence is alarming and worrisome, not worthy of re-election. JIM, I want to thank you for your no-pity cohesive crystal clear common sense questions. Can't say the same for her finger-pointing grabbing at straws answers. She has been a huge disappointment. You are a force of journalistic code of ethics that can not be questioned, truthful, and accurate.. I have a strong feeling you know who the next mayor is going to be. You may not like him, but the legions who do are going to vote for him and can't wait to. He is a serious candidate with clear talking points in the campaign. I hope you get to moderate the candidates!!! Do it solo. You don't need company.
