: Miami Mafia loses in court AGAIN — could cost city $114 million!

According to the Miami Herald, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Thomas Rebull ruled the City of Miami’s 15% parking surcharge UNCONSTITUTIONAL, finding that incompetent and corrupt city attorney/mob lawyer “Tricky” Vicky Mendez wrongly interpreted state law in order to justify the “illegally imposed and collected” tax.

In his ruling, Rebull found EVERY ONE of the city’s arguments flawed: “Simply put, [the] Plaintiffs’ interpretation of the parking surcharge statute is a fair reading of its text,” Rebull wrote. “The City’s interpretations are not.”

The Herald writes: “That’s only one expensive blow facing the city after a judge ruled a long-controversial parking surcharge. Next up, the city faces an injunction seeking to block it from continuing to collect the fee at government-owned parking lots, garages and other facilities. If the judge grants the request, which appears likely in light of his ruling on the legal meaning of the statute, the attorneys hope to win class-action certification for people who have used the lots. That would open the door to collecting tax refunds totaling more than $114 million since November 2018, according to the plaintiffs’ attorneys. That cutoff date is based on a five-year statute of limitations. Unless the city wins on appeal, the plan would be to use credit card receipts or sworn statements from cash users to determine how to divvy up the refunds.”

How about a Miami City Hall Celebrity Boxing Match — Commissioner Joe Carollo vs. Commissioner Miguel Gabela — with the purse going to a charity of the winner’s choice? I think we can get sponsors for that if the commissioners agree to participate.

Third World Government, Fourth World Infrastructure: The feds should take over Miami International Airport and put us out of our misery. It’s a matter of national security at this point to have a major airport and “gateway to the Americas” that is so corrupt and dysfunctional.

While the grift and graft at MIA long predate the tenure of current Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, it may not survive the incompetence and corruption of her administration and Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales. .buttigieg
