Annexation Initiative

I feel bad for the people that live in Miami Springs, you pay 3 times more taxes that the people that live in unincorporated dade county. You politicians are overspending your money, they need to be replaced. Get them out before they banckrupt the city.

comment

Ask the person in question if they have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. The initials for that degree are PsyD. Are those the qualifications needed to post on this site? If so, it doesnt seem like there will be much posting done. Why dont you post those questions on the other site, the Political Forum? What are the chances this person has BOTH degrees? There is no discussion of annexation issues here, so its just a waste of time.

annexation issues

For a forum on annexation, wheres the debate? Wheres the beef? Mostly I see ads for Internet businesses and varois other city issues. What about the zoning problems with annexation? If MS has NO control over zoning the county can allow whatever they want to be built there, and we will be helpless to stop it! What about the annual 339k mitigation fees that we will have to pay for as long as we own the property? The current boundaries are not favorable or logical as they stand now. There are also questions about pollution and who would be responsible for any needed cleanups. Also 9 of the current commissioners dont favor allowing annexation at this time. How are those issues going to be resolved?

Four Local Springs Kids

Four killed in accident on US 41 NBC2 News Last updated on: 4 20 2007 10:31:31 PM COLLIER COUNTY: Four people were killed and four others were injured when two vehicles collided just after noon on US 41 in Eastern Collier County. The accident happened near the intersection of U.S. 41 and Loop Road. Investigators with the Florida Highway Patrol says a 1997 Nissan was heading west on US 41 when the driver - 21-year-old Valarie Mendez - attempted to p , but couldn-t because of oncoming traffic. When Mendez tried to get back into her original lane she lost control and the vehicle slid into the east bound lanes. A 1996 Chrysler, which was headed east bound, tried to avoid the Nissan - but the two collided. Mendez and two of her p engers in the Nissan, 20-year-old Alan Suggs and 21-year-old Jose Diaz, were thrown from the car. All three were killed. A fourth person in the car, 16-year-old Silvia Tamayo, sustained serious injures. The driver of the Chrysler, 65-year-old Lucille Iannini, was also killed. One of her p engers, 69-year-old Robert Iannini, was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital with serious injures. The two people in the backseat of her car, 18-year-old Evan Pratt and 18-year-old Nathaniel Royer, were taken to Naples Community Hospital in serious condition.

vote yes

let-s keep Miami Springs Beautiful vote yes for the land charter ammendment.





vote

Please vote YES on Nove. 7th. I-m 60 years old and I would like to give my Grandchildren the same quality of life my daughter had growing up in this great community.





the sign thief

taking other people-s property is noneother than simple theft. The advertising dollars paid by Garcia got Tom Curtis confussed. Or is it he also has theft problems of his own.





Sosa

how can she deny Xavier when she paid him 10,000 for helping with her campaign





political waste

we all knew Xavier Garcia was not educated but we had no idea he was that dum. So far he has done nothing but shame this community with his antics. Time to recall him out of office. Not much will be lost as he has done nothing while in office other than cost us money; 1) proposing to change voting dates, 2)partnering up with Pino (Developer), 3) now stealing political signs from Sosa-s opponent. Will Sosa acknowledge him as her liason now?





sign stealer

at this pace anyone other than the sign stealer will do in office





Election Time

Election time is near lets put Ralph on the ballot





Tasteful small books written in french available a

One book is 3 dollars the unit and speaks about love among young kids as the rest to follow of my own collection.





ammendment

If you moved to Miami Springs recently, you did so to because of our city-s the low density and lay back lifestyle. You can make these things last. Stay informed, SUPPORT THE PPROPOSED DENSITY AMMENDMENT. Our children should be able to enjoy these same quality of life essentials which brought us together as a community.





lower taxes

do you want lower taxes? call your councilman and tell him what you want. Councilman Dotson has the right idea. We need a break.





FOOTBALL!

WHAT ABOUT THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM? NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT FOOTBALL. IT IS A VERY ATHLETIC SPORT, I BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY. LAUREN SMITH.





king of fools

Mr. garcia should know by now that most everyone in our city with the execption of his small ill-informed pack, has caught wind of his twisted plans and schemes for this city. Rumor has it, that our commisioner has offered our city some money primarily for the Mansion in the tune of $175,000 but Mr. Garcia requested this not be brought out until the election gets closer to date. How considerate. He promised to be the advocate for the children in our city, to date what has he done other than vote against the needs of our children over and over again? By the way can someone please tell Mr. Garcia he needs to learn how to write. His replies to issues in this forum are hard to read in the second grade spelling he uses.





I agree

You-re right. Hey now are local business are on the news for selling cocaine and gambling..the bar on 36th street- things will only get worse with that motel they are allowing to be built. so lets see: No publix, no new construction or new golf villas, only raunchy motels, sex offendors, local bars selling drugs and being on the news .... all wonderful for property values. Miami Springs soon to be the hood....





Going back to the sex offendor issues

To the sex offenders and their defenders: Perhaps you have not read the scientific literature and perhaps you have not been a practicing psychiatrist   psychologist - you would know that this is the most difficult population to treat and that sex offenders very very very rarely change their devious and disgusting habits. Denial is a powerful thing, denial keeps a community blind to dangers that are clear and present, denial keeps family members thing that that “it must have been a mistake” and denial prevents us as a community to address some serious problems. As a sexual offender the pain and damage you cause to a child is irreparable so no matter how much time you spend behind bars you will never pay your due or serve your time. Your victims will live everyday in their own prison created by the pain and shame you have caused. I don’t care home much time you have served and how much your families believe in you. Get out of our community and keep away from our children, churches and lives.





Garcia

What does this Zavier Garcia do for a living??





Thank You Councilman Zavier Garcia

Today my wife and I were outside of our house doing some yard work when we noticed a man walking down the street and talking to our neighbors. the man eventualy approched our house and introduced him self as our councilman Zavier Garcia. He said that he was walking around the City meeting the residents and asking them if there were any issues that they wanted to discuss. He also informed us that he hosts 2 monthly open houses for residents to voice their concerns. Councilman Garcia seamed to be very informed on issues that concerned us like annexation and our high tax rate. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Councilman Zavier Garci for taking the time to reach out to us. Thank you Councilman!





VOTE YES!

Ask, what should Miami Springs be? I-m so tired of these folks that don-t want to change squat in Miami Springs. Folks, this town needs a shot of financial investment to turn this community into the most desirable community in the county. There are tons of infrastructure, beautification, and business development projects our city can complete if it had money to even ponder such things. I ask all who read this forum to get through the scare tactics. Those who are just crying wolf have absolutely no vision for the future of this city. If you have vision for beyond the current generation you know in your heart that annexation IS the future of Miami Springs. If you care about the next generation of residents, you-ll realize this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Don-t let the next generation regret our inaction on this item. Anyone with standard horse sense understands that this is good for the city.





Vote HELL NO!

one hell no coming up.





Vote No!

If here in Miami Springs we got problems to be solved, lack of improvement in downtown area, golf course not producing and utilities keep going up, it wont be better by Annexation since it would require more police, etc. Need to clean our home before going next door.





Election Results.

The people that put this Zavier Garcia into office, must be wondering now what they have done. A pro-developer that is getting kickbacks, for pushing their agenda and not those of the citizens. One only cringes, when you see this -person-, constantly butting in when another councilman is speaking and an "excuse me I am speaking" when anyone dare tries to get a word in. This -person- is not there for the people of Miami Springs, but only to further his own special interest. You reap what you have sown electors. BTW...What does this Zavier Garcia do for a living??





 er town

It seams to me that we have trusted our goverment oficial for too long ,with out taking into consideration that for many years we have been in the sight of hungry and unscrupulose individuals,that will do any thing for money.So today we are infested by this fleas and the ones that we have trusted are either naive,stupid or sold their soul to the fleas. We dont need annexation,apartment housing etc .Al we have to do is take control of our goverment and run it like a bussines.We have over spended,over hire,and left those with Champaign teast and coca cola pocket run a city of retired and working people like a millioner country club.Our property value is location and not the type of house that you leave in.If you want to stay here for a long time roll your expenditure back and get read of the fleas.We lost 2 persons in our last election that cuould have replaced those that have infiltrated our city hall.I hope that we wise up and make better choices next time.if is not too late. Arturo





VOTE NO

DON-T BE FOOLED. OUR COUNCIL HAS OUR BEST INTEREST ALWAYS. THEY MIGHT NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH EACHOTHER BUT AT THE END THEY ARE OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. THEY ARE WITH OUT A DOUBT MORE INFORMED ON CITY CODE ISSUES, BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THEIR DUTY AS COUNCIL TO BE SO THEN THE MAJORITY OF VOTERS WILL EVER BE. PLEASE STAY VOCAL AND LET THE COUNCIL KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ON ISSUES, BUT LET THEM DO THEIR JOB. THIS IF PASSED WILL BE AN ENORMOUS, COSTLY MISTAKE .





SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

I graduated from MSSH in 1984 and came upon this site while trying to find someone on line...this is hilarious!! By the postings on this site, it appears that time has frozen in the Springs and the same losers and hillbillies are lurking about on Westward Drive!! I am sure there are educated, decent people in the Springs...but they-re definitely not on THIS site!! The Immigrants posting was particularly funny....talk about Yahoos....have you looked across the Okeechobee canal and West on NW 36th Street? You really need to move out of the area...like maybe Macon Georgia or Lynchburg, Tennessee....move in with a cousin or something...then there-s the Bridge Toll posting...that-s also a good one! But lets save the best posting on this God Forsaken site to the brilliant realtor comparing Miami Springs to Coral Gables.....that-s hilarious....check the demographics buddy....we-re not talking apples to oranges here...but more like apples to carburators.....ahhh that was fun....nice chating with you..





Sex Offender?

It-s a shame! Our children had to deal with a registered sex offender at one of the churches in Miami Springs. The church defended him. The law protects these offenders and the children suffer. It seems like Miami Springs is a haven for these offenders. Maked you wonder!





Nasty

What a potty mouth Zavier Garcia !!! Do you talk like that at home?





Hialeah Bridge

To whoever wrote this!! Get a life. What! you are going to issue ID card to all M.S. residents? You know what-s the cost of doing that? By the way, you live in Miami, there is traffic everywhere. My suggestion MOVE!!!!

Hialeah Bridge

We ---Miami Springs residents should have a toll for all the Hialeah traffic coming into the Springs-----the drive like mad cows---have no respect for Springs residents and have no car insurance or illegal tags----keep the hialeah traffic in Hialeah----I seriously ---think not---too many springs residents cross over to buy---cheap gas---ect--not much of anything---so lets have a toll=---$1.00 everytime they cross over---then we will have money to lower the taxes----all who agree ---write in!!!!!





Who is in charge?????

We were without electricity for 5 days. everyone around us had electric--including Virginia Gardens----fpl couldn-t get to our alley because of the trees and mess----the ice at the rec center --no one knew about it and it did-nt happen till the day before all the residents received their electricty. I see who cares about their SPRINGS RESIDENTS------NO ONE----





Tree City!!!!!!

fom ya dummies-----we pay to have the tree city---not a messed up, unkept, trees unproperly cared for -----tree city!!!!!!!!!!! We dummies pay too much in taxes for this!!!!!!!!!hey other dummies0---help out





Tree City????

Hey, don-t compalin, you wanted to be Tree City USA, now pay the price you dummies





Ban all ficus trees

Let-s get rid of all ficus and australian pines, this is the reason we have no power. They cause more damage than any good they might do.





bigger trees

we are all affected from the lack of responsibilty by our neighbors and city staff, for not trimming the trees that took down the power lines.





Hurricane Katrina

A FPL Worker Told us the reason we don-t have any electricity is beause The City is holding out on Cleaning the Alleys & Necessary areas in order to receive More Fema Money! How true is that?I Didn-t see any FPL workers Around Nightingale or Oriole or Plover Saturday or Sunday . Why Didn-t the city Offer us Ice to it-s residents. Who is running this show?? Where was the Chief of Police ,out on vacation?? I Saw 3 FPL Workers at a Trailor Home in Hialeah on Saturday. Good Job Raul. Who is Responsible to Help Residents of Miami Springs? I Didn-t see anyone come around to see how we are doing?? Today is Monday and still no power & No Services from the City! Help





more overhead?

Should the power company be responsible for trimming trees growing wild on city swales or private property?





toll

The bridge has been there since day one. I-m sure it drive Miami Springs residents crazy to have Hialeah traffic cut through your delightfully beautiful city, and rightfully so. However, I-m very sure many of you cross north to our "concrete jungle" to get to the 112, or for cheaper gas, or even to go to Publix. What-s fair is fair.





nice but not practical

Underground powerlines are less reliable than overhead lines.Most underground cables are fed by overhead lines.Resoration is much quicker on overhead than underground, because you can see where the problem is. It is much more costly to repair underground problems than overhead. Yes underground powerlines are easy on the eyes , but you would not want to pay for the cost of putting the existing lines underground , lets let each tree owner be responsible for their own tree and do the necessary trimming to keep the trees out of the powerlines .





Trees

Don-t worry about trimming trees as much as we should fight to have the powerlines moved underground. Yep...it-s expensive, but it would sure cut the amount of power outages.





Let-em Have It

You tell-em Bhooer...





power play

Maybe some thought should be given to the overall betterment of the our community. Such as , controlled planting of trees that have the ability to disrupt the electric lines . Trees are beautiful , but they need to be maintained, meaning that the owner of the tree has the responsibility of keep the tree trimmed as to not interfer with powerlines. That type of logic is no more than common sense,which is NOT very common today! If the City of Miaimi Springs can regulate the hight of my gr ,the size of my hedge, surely it can police the powerlines, where the trees have a major effect on the lives of the people living near them. Remember the powerlines where here first, 99%of all the trees in Miami Springs were planted after the houses were built. So, bottom line , each property owner should be responsible for his or her tree, F P L only cuts trees when forced to , which is paid for by all the customers down the road, which is only just another tax on the residents.





36th Street

This mixed use project is perfect for the area. 36th Street is becoming a major public transit corridor. There are many of us looking for condos within walking distance of public transit. Life is a cycle. Automobiles in the beginning were afforded only to the very rich. That changed and anyone could afford it. Now we’re going back. In twenty years only the very rich will be able afford to own, operate, and insure a car. And they may give up on cars because of traffic congestion. Face it folks, the future is in public transit. And this high density project close to 36th street is perfect. A similar project is now under construction at 36th street and the bay. Others are planned all along 36th street, i.e., Miami Ave, Northwest 3rd Ave, 37th Ave. And I know others will follow along this corridor. It’s going to happen Miami Springs weather we like it or not. The key is planning. We need to work with developers and come up with a comprehensive plan as to how and what this corridor is to be.





More 411 please

Besides an informative flyer that i got in the mail from councilman Youngs, I know nothing about it.





is it happening

?





Common Sense

Since when is a man-s home NOT his castle? If a tree is growing on the property that is owned by me, the taxes are being PAID by me,the enjoyment OR nuisance is affecting me , then I should have the civil right to CUT, PRUNE,or REMOVE what is mine. The city can plant all the trees it wants on city property. The city can also cut down all the trees it wants to, on city property.(without my permission) Government is getting too much control over our lives! If one wants to live in a JUNGLE there is still plenty of vacant land out in the wilderness.When the tree canopy blocks out all the sunlight and disrupts electric lines,and when the root systems invade our sewer lines,and destroys roads and sidewalks, all we have really done is created an enviroment that will demands more taxes !!!!





think

for a change





heart breaker

I too voted for Garcia , but now regret it. He has an arrogant personality , is all double talk , and is trying to ride on the others coat tails . What a disapointment he has been.





Garcia, Dodson the stand off!!

The last councel meeting really brought out the worst of our councelmen. However, after reading some of the comments it makes sence why Garcia does not know how to ask questions without sounding like an idiot. The only bad thing is that I voted for him; thinking that he is for the people. If he get-s Anexation he also gets hand-outs from the developers. EXTORTION!!! This guy needs to be introduced to a jail cell.





my vote is on Marquez

Him and Owen   are the individuals that brought the real potentialities of the toxic waste dumps to the front center of our public officials. It-s only too bad that our city manager does not have the experience to project the potential problems of the anexation.





TYSON vs MARQUEZ

The latest word is that Don King is promoting a match between former champ Iron Mike and Marquez to be held at the Rec Center.





ator and pacheco

To the last comment-on the booth next to ator and pacheco were Flowers-James-and Pereda crying over their booze bottles!!!!





ator and pacheco

I hear Ator and Pacheco were last seen sitting at the back table of the airport dinner, crying in their chicken soup





DUMB A$$

Keep giving him free publicity DUMB A$$. You are the ones that are going to get him re-elected. Shut-up and let him hang himself.





lies

Why all people pick on Garcia hes a good guy. i need inspector for house when election time come and he and peter got the job done with inspector. I don-t care he no have hih school diploma he very smart and gets lot of money from rebeca sosa.





Garcia??

Zavier Garcia doesn-t even have a High School Diploma? How did all these people get scammed by this guy? Didn-t anyone check to see if he finished 6th grade, at least!!





think of another one

Think of another one. I saw the High School diploma. I-m only sorry that I asked him about it. It-s embarr ing that accusation like these come up. Stop wasting our time





things to ponder at

why was rob youngs minister involved in the election campaign? is it true that billy has been baptised in youngs pool? Is it true garcia is drawing a salarie by riding around in the garbage truck? Is it true ex-mayor fields is in control of Best and Bain?





spending money

Where is our projected excess money. Keep an eye on the disapearing money. Remember in order to sell you annexation we have to loose mony in the city. The golf course peoject went from $150,000 to $460,000. imagine paying for a 300 square foot addition in your house $460,000 dollars. Now Santana wants the roof raised. This was not even included in the orignal estimate. THe residents should ask more questions. Where is the herald when real news takes place.





Annexation flop

Mr. Youngs is it true you were part of the plan with Garcia to get Peter out in order for you to have a chance at mayor next time? Guess what Garcia will beat your pnts off next time. Jut cause he might not have an education does not mean he does no have the heart to win. You have proved how weak you are with annexation. Gacia would have p ed annexation already. He knows it-s for the people and he would have forced the other councilmen to vote on it.





z-man

Z-man don-t pay atention to these jealous people. They crying because you won the election and they are not going to make the money like you on all the future projects. I also know you went to high school. so what if you not finished. this ok to.





neighbor

When is the gossip queen going to do a real story. One where she has to investigate something. It seems all she does is eat free for a story on new restaurants. But no she is not fat because of that, she just does not move her behind for a true story. Her claim to fame was the creation of the slate. Now she goes back into obscurity never to be anything other than poor white trash. How sad to be a gossip writer and to boot a bad one. Here-s a hint for a story "meals on wheel for over the hill gang moving soon".





high school

So what if garcia does not have a high school diploma. At least he is better friends with Ms. Sosa than the Mayor. You don-t need a diploma to set rules, what you need is strenght and gonan. and councilman Garcia has both. just look at the way he won the election he knew that Peter was dead weight and he got rid of him. That-s leadership.





noise problem

I have a house on the lake facing the senior center and I want to say tha this week-end the noise was unbearable. The latin music was too loud and most of the people there don-t belong in the park anyway. I sell realstate and know for a fact that we have not sold to so many lains as to play that music all morning. Many of us Americans like to have some quiet in the morning.





golf course

Why are we allowing our tax dollars to go into bad projects without a fight. The golf course will always be set to loose. we must stay vigilant. this is the only way they will get you to agree to sell it later on. I heard someone suggest that maybe we can turn it into abrd sanctuary. we should call the autobon society and see if they would consider funding it. This way noone could ever built on it for sure. with our luck Dan would be awarded the contract for renting cameras to watch the birds.





  rob

I heard rummors that Rob is   and I am thrilled. When maria Davis left I felt we lost a strong supporter for our cause, but if this is true we are in cntrol. Rob we wll make sure you will the Mayor-s seat next time. Many more of us are moving is to the city an we will become the   capital of south florida as we had planned with Maria and Denise in control.





code enforcement

Mr. best when are you going to cut your gr . You should be setting examples for the other clows to follow. I guess the UPS code enforcer guy does not want to upset you as now you are the law. what a laugh.





ignorance

Is it true that garcia and his buddy from the mortage company might have a little mortgage fraud game going on. where is the newspapae when real news takes place. Will we see homesad this year for garcia on his taxes? stay tuned to property appraisers.com for the latest onn this.





More Garcia

Garcia is looking for some good kick backs. If you need a favor garcia is your man for the right price. His rent is due and he does not want Viscaino lookng for him again .





Garcia!!!

The same way you placed Mayor Bain in office-who can-t even read!!!!!





Wait a minute. !

Zavier Garcia doesn-t have a High School Diploma? He didn-t go to school? How can a city like Miami Springs place a person like this in office?





FUNNY

That-s funny i saw the meeting and didn-t see Garcia upset anybody. What is really funny is that even after beating the pants off of his opponent and doing such a good job as our councilman you still keep bashing him. I can-t wait to here Bain (NOT BAINS) read another Proclamation. Now that-s funny





Garcia, what a joke!

What is amazing to me is that no one looked into the background of this so called family man that just happens to be a club promoter. As a matter of fact he does not even posses a HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. How did this happen?? The money spent to hide his real facade blinded all of the residents of Miami Springs. Maybe at the next council meeting he will not piss off Bains and will mature and not take these meeting as a joke! This city was really fooled by this puppet and hopefully this under educated nit wit will shut-up in future meetings and act his age.

common sense

when is a man-s home NOT his castle? If a tree is growing on the property that is owned by me, the taxes are being PAID by me,the enjoyment OR nuisance is affecting me , then I should have the civil right to CUT, PRUNE,or REMOVE what is mine. The city can plant all the trees it wants on city property. The city can also cut down all the trees it wants to, on city property.(without my permission) Government is getting too much control over our lives! If one wants to live in a JUNGLE there is still plenty of vacant land out in the wilderness.When the tree canopy blocks out all the sunlight and disrupts electric lines,and when the root systems invade our sewer lines,and destroys roads and sidewalks, all we have really done is created an enviroment that will demands more taxes !!!!





Garcia can-t fire anybody





annexation

I want to see PAUL DOTSON head our annexation efforts





funds

Our representative Rebecca Sosa gave the Seniors $10,000 to help in their needs, but gave $25,000 for a dog park. I guess we now know what is more important to our elected official.





do it

citizens of Miami SPrings have lost sleep, time, and money on pino with regards to this Poinciana scam and now it turns out Pino has no money. Needless financial resources put to bad use in spending taxpayer dollars for nothing. Borgman should have to pay out of his pocket for putting everyone through this. If Garcia wants to win all of the people-s support he should start by firing Borgman and Gorland and placing Alonzo at the helm.





Excess Funds

Watch our $4 million estimated excess disappear. For annexation to become a neccessity we have to loose money. Watch Rob agree to spend on anything proposed to council. If we manage all this excess money correctly we won-t need annexation. Now isn-t that Scary Rob.





Home Prices

When was the last time you ever saw prices go down in Miami? 1926 Maybe? Look, there-s more demand for real estate than there is land. Coral Gables is too expensive. So, if you actually want land on your property AND you want a nice quiet community that-s not loaded with traffic, Miami Springs is your only choice.





homes???

It ain-t gonna last, all these idiots paying this high price are gonna get burnt.





cost of real estate

I CAN-T BELIEVE HOW EXPENSIVE THE HOMES HAVE BECOME IN MIAMI SPRINGS. I GREW UP THERE AND MY FAMILY FINALLY LEFT 2 YEARS AGO. THE PRICES FOR SUCH SMALL, OLD HOMES IS UNREAL! MAX





Come on!

I hear this comment about immigrants and it seems unreal to me that a person can say "just hang them all", well either that-s ignorance or is foolishness. Because we are talking about a human beings here, yeah some of them are illegal and some are not but that does not mean that they should be treated any differently.





immigrants????

I say hang them all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





get in line

There are laws that were made to control immigrants comming to this country, and those laws should be enforced, as to protect the quality of life of the people that live and work here legally.The taxpayers of this great nation are supporting to many people that hame no right to be here. Wait your turn , then you will be accepted with open arms





some can stay

because some are legal and some are not. If you came here and you are not legal please go home





Why immigrants

Why do you people need to talk about immigrants? Here is a tip:Learn some history because except for Native Amercans you all are immigrants too.





do it

city should p an ordinance requiring all sex offenders to live at least 3000 ft away from any school, park! They need to be kept as far away a possible. Also no grandfathering of letting them stay until they move. Call city hall and let the city mgr and the chief of police know that you support this move 305-805-5000





maps for all

person that posted this likes it up the poop chute also. NO comdon needed for this butthole





last comment writter

Go back to 3rd grade and learn to spell,you can sit behind Garcia





newspaper

sone people conplain that the Gazette has been unfair in reporting story. I believe that the Gazette is fair and has told the truth always. The problem is Bain and his slate. they were all bad people from the beginning. I spoke to the realstate lady with the two color head at the voting place and she agree with me. The slate shuld move out if they dont like us latin people.





maps for all

I hear that nut Owen is giving out tour maps of the annexation area for everyone to visit. He is giving all who take the tour boots to walk through the contaminated sites. He makes you sign a disclaimer in case you develop cancer as a result of the tour. Maria Davis and a Wheeler took the tour a few years ago but in a helicopter to avoid possible contamination.





Offenders

We should come up with a name for the sex offenders similar to the Julios in our town. Better yet paint their faces in a color everyone can see as they approach. Let-s see, red is already identified as indians, white for the master race, brown for the Julios, green for the orientals, or is it yellow. Well purple is not taken up yet. Yes they should be painted purple.





offendors

I saw a schwinger on the list of offendors in this site, is this one related to the one in realstate here in the Springs? Rob finds the homes for young couples with new kids, and his family member takes care of the rest. That-s what I call real service.





I will donate the moving van

The city will never make it 3,000 feet... But they will make it 2,500 feet like Miami Beach. Naah, Naah, Naah, Naah... hey hey hey... Good-bye... to all sex kiddie preditors. Here in Miami Springs we open our doors to all walks of life except YOU...!!! Be gone perverts...





move in rent free

Sounds like other cities want to do the same, such as Miami Beach and Sweetwater, could be the mood is starting to turn on these perverts. maybe they all need to be put on an island somewhere. Isn,t there a nice island in SAN FRANCISCO BAY





sic

Your husband should have picked on someone else, at least an adult





bull

this town is bull. why dont you go pick on someoen else. yeah right-some clown writes we should stay 3000 feet away?i would like to see that one p .one thing i will say is at least the clown had an original thought, more than i can say for you jerks.this stupid city cant even handle code violations where people have subdivided their homes.plus your children will grow up to be dumbases like you all rednecks.





I hopr you do move out

If the shoe fits wear it . a plea deal is the same as pleading guilty





go ahead

I don-t care if you call helpmehowward.if you have been convicetd of rape you must be watched if the law says you must live 1000 feet away then i will buy a tape measure and challenge you to confront me you trash.this is the most heinous crime one could imagine and some dude incested his daughter and wants my forgiveness bro dont think you gonna get that in our town we may be simple folks and at times even slow but we know better than to allow thees folks a free ride.i only hope this guy got his in prison from someone.





YES HATE

We are not moving and no one can make us!we will call the aclu and sue you and the city big time.you dont zone people away you morons.my husband served his time and paid his dues to society.what john couey did to that girl is unrelated to us.the jerk who started this is a first crap cl  joker.come around my house and ill shove the tape measure up ur behind.





BRILLIANT

Who thought of this?i know it wasn-t the city leadership.this is the best idea i-ve heard since moving here 20 years ago.





3000 ft radius

When you include all the schools, parks, rec center, golf course(kids play there too) and add a 3000 ft radius, we can virtually drive them out of town. A city as small as ours, there will be very little area not covered by the 3000 foot radius. Call your councilman and let them know





support the 3000 ft radius

it-s not HATE ,, it-s removing the temptation





if the shoe fits

sorry for you, BUT for something like, that I would have fought till hell freezes over to clear MY NAME





LEAVE THEM ALONE!

My husband was unfairly prosecuted for ALLEGEDLY having sex with our daughter. He c hose to accept a plea deal to avoid putting the family through a trial.We should not have to be subjected to such HATE by our neighbors.We have lived here for many many years and have never caused problems.You all should move away. Stupid jerks!!!





i know one

I see this guy all the time.Who-d a thunk? http:  www3.fdle.state.fl.us sexual_predators OffenderFlyer.asp?keys=5272
