Miami Sierra Club member Bruno Barreiro votes AGAINST THE ENVIRONMENT
Miami-Dade County Commissioner Bruno Barreiro
Votes against the environment by showing support
for Florida City Annexation outside the Urban
Development Boundary Line. This area bordering the
Everglades National park and Biscayne Bay has been
identified by county officials as environmentally
sensitive land. Will this fellow Miami-Dade Sierra Club
member show that he has come to his senses and
change his vote to Mayor Alvarez's position to HOLD
THE LINE?
The environment is not a partisan issue.
Mayor
Alvarez is not some left leaning democrat. His
authorized beat down on liberal demonstrators during
the FTAA conference can attest to that. He realizes
that Miamians exist in a precarious ecological
balance. We all want a high quality of life.
That is why I am so troubled by my county
commissioner's recent vote in favor of Florida City
Annexation. He ignored the wishes of his own
constituency in favor of sprawl development.
One of
the main municipalities in his district (MIAMI BEACH)
handed him a unanimous resolution denouncing any
potential expansion of the Urban Development
boundary.
I am not against development. I hope to see the day
when growth is PLANNED along a transportation
system that can handle the influx of new residents. I
long for the day when all Miami Dade citizens don't
have their public waterfront parks sold to private land
interests. I long for balance.
Our public lands are like Roth- IRA's. We should not
be cashing them in for short-term frivolous desires.
How many of you would cash in your IRA for a plasma
T.V. or expensive car?
The honorable commissioner should change his vote
to "HOLD the line" when county commissioners
reconvene to challenge mayor Alvarez's veto.
Other Miami-Dade Comissioners that voted
against the environment include: Dennis Moss, Dorrin
Rolle,
Natacha Seijas, Jose "Pepe" Diaz, Joe A. MArtinez,
Barbara Jordan
The Miami Sierra Club wants to thank Miami-Dade
County Commisioners Sorenson, Gimenez, Sosa,
Heyman, Carey-Shuler, and
Mayor Alvarez for HOLDING THE LINE!!!
