I was the first to call for the Inspector General to investigate the allegations of mismanagement at the Guardianship program. This shocking report seems to indicate that very little oversight was exercised to make sure vulnerable seniors and families were cared for responsibly.
NEW: After over a year-long investigation, the Miami-Dade Office of the Inspector General has released an audit report on Guardianship Program of Dade County and how it sells properties. The report vindicates @WLRN reporting -- and finds much much more. https://t.co/uDKjpN7vrN

Another excellent redesign that transforms our affordable and workforce housing landscape. This #TransitOrientedCommunity will give residents easy access to transit options like MetroRail and @Tri_Rail
Thank you @HUDgov for the nearly $40M Choice Neighborhoods Implementation grant. This is about more than housing – it's a once-in-a-generation opportunity for neighborhood transformation. We'll leverage these funds to create a stronger, more equitable, and resilient Overtown.

Still legal: Miami-Dade @MayorDaniella and four commissioners join Pride flag raising at County Hall. State bill fizzled this year that would have banned “political” flags — including those reflecting sexual orientation — from flying at govt buildings. https://t.co/7w0gcvB2sm

I'm very proud to stand with hardworking Floridians, especially those members of @32BJSEIU @32BJFlorida. They do critical jobs, work hard & are often not paid what they deserve nor receive the health insurance every human being needs. https://t.co/SKoOlx0efZ

Honored to be with @SecondGentleman Doug Emhoff and @FlaDems Chair @NikkiFried as we called voters to remind them of the importance of ordering vote-by-mail ballots so they can vote easily for @JoeBiden 🗳️

It was an honor to meet @POTUS to talk about the importance of his historic #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw investments in transit. In Miami-Dade, they can help build our NE coastal commuter rail link & extend Metrorail to the North. ��� @FlaDems @MiamiDadeDems
From single-family housing and clean transportation to mental health centers, America’s county officials are making a big difference thanks to our Investing in America agenda.
