Miami is notorious for corruption and intrigue, we've had city managers get busted buying stolen suits, we had one commissioner walk into the lobby of the Miami Herald and blow his head off in front everyone, he was under investigation for fraud, mis-use of city funds, a real scum bag. We had other commissioners skip town wanted on arrest warrants, we had mayors and commissioners implicated in land deals, the Miami International Airport is a hotbed for fraud and bid-rigging, what can I say Mikey, Miami is a third world banana republic. There's a mayor in Miami-Dade County who is a former cop, he seems to be doing a great job and yet the commissioners tried to start a rebellion because he took away their power to make arbitrary deals and decisions, the voters wanted a strong mayor and the commissioners fought it tooth and nail and they lost, STILL they tried to rebel and he put it down quick and actually fired people without consulting them (people put in positions of influencce by certain commissioners.)
