mentioned the arrest in
Martin County in the
executive order assigning
the case to the Office of
Statewide Prosecution.
The govemor's press
secretary, Jeremy Redf-
ern, declined to comment
on the rationale for the
multi -jurisdictional argu-
ment.
Judges have previously
tossed out cases brought
by DeSantis' Office of
Election Crimes and Se-
curity, ruling the attorney
general's statewide prose-
cutors didn't have juris-
diction to bring the charg-
es. Prosecutions in Mia-

after the Florida Legisla-
ture changed state law
clarifying that statewide
prosecutors could handle
the cases.

OFFICER MANUEL BATISTA OF THE
MIAMI-DADE POLICE FORCE RECEIVED
INFORMAL COUNSELING AFTER AN
INSTANCE OF NOT FOLLOWING THE
BODY -CAMERA PROTOCOL.
dedication to duty.
According to his profile,
Batista used force to var-
ying degrees in May 2021
and March 2022. While
the March incident did not
note what force Batista
used, in the May case, he
reportedly pushed or
pulled, which did not lead
to "visible" injuries. There
were injuries in the March
case — bruises and abra-
sions to a wrist, laceration
to an arm and rib injuries.
It is unclear who was the
inured parry.
In four complaints, three
in 2022 and one in 2024,
he was alleged to have
used biased -based policing
and improperly used a
body -worn camera. No
ction was taken for most,
but he received informal
ounseling in one instance
investigated for his ac-
tions, which included
forcing Hill onto the
ground and putting him
and Dolphins' defensive
tackle Calais Campbell in
handcuffs. It is unclear
whether Batista and the
other two officers are
facing discipline.
Tones' employee profile
revealed that he has faced
fsuspensions and used
orce ra dozen times in
his 27-year career.
While Batista may not
have arrested anyone, his
actions were the catalyst
of the ensuing events.
WHAT WAS BATISTAS
ROLE IN TRAFFIC STOP?
Batista was the officer
who stopped Hill as he
drove a McLaren 7295 to
the Hard Rock Stadium
before the Dolphins' game
against the Jacksonville
Jaguars last Sunday.
In body -camera footage
released by the police
department, Batista is
seen walking over and
knocking on Hill's win-
dow, which kicks off a
brief, heated argument.
Moments later, Torres
opens Hill's door, pulls
him out and, with other
officers, pins Hill to the
ground.
Batista wrote Hill's two
traffic citations, fora 5129

campaigning and knocked on her door and
she said, "Look at this." 1 told her, if I win,
I'll fix it. Time went by and 1 eventually
won. I got the fimds to fix it and finally, I
knocked on her door and said, "Tomorrow,
we're breaking ground here. I'm going to
fix this. I give you my word." She said,
"God bless you. I thought that I was going
to die and not see it fixed."
Things like that are what make my life,
seeing real change. Now the family is very
happy, and there's no more water. I can
tell you of many places where we have
done drainage projects that people have
been waiting 30 years for. We try to fix as
much as we can, and every penny that we
get has an end goal, which is to improve
the residents' quality of life.
We have two ongoing projects to mitigate
flooding in the Auburndale and the East
Flagami neighborhoods. Flagami is a huge
project. We found funds in Tallahassee for
it. It's going to be around 540 million, and
we almost have that money. But it also
entails the construction of a pump with
injection wells. Those pumps are going to
redirect all that water from those streets.
We have ameliorated the effect of rain and
flooding there because we have pumps
installed. When it rains, you still have
flooding, but you don't have the lake and
the rivers. There's water, but not as bad.
We have already identified and pur-
chased the land where the pump is going
to be installed. The drawings are coming
along, and we have to enter into a MOU
(memorandum of understanding) with
Magic City Casino in order to pass pipes
through the property to bring it all to the
pump. And in Auburndale, we are going
to start work on it pretty soon.
Q: Tel me more about the District Four
park improvements.
A: West End is coming online soon and
the kids are going to love it. There's a
pool and also a splash pad for them to run
around and all that. That'll be finished by
the end of April.
We also opened Shenandoah last sum-
mer, which is a park we're proud of. With
the help of my team, we found the funds to
rebuild the whole park and among the new
amenities is an Olympic -size swimming
pool. I had the idea to build that because
there's a swim team there called the Sharks
and when we were doing the community
meetings, some of the swimmers' moth-
ers told me that if the pool could be made
longer, it would help the team.
When the kids go to compete, they often
go to larger pools, and they haven't devel-
oped the necessary stamina. I said, "You're
right. I'm going to build a bigger pool."
Then 1 started thinking, why not an Olympic
pool? I began looking for money here and
there, and we got to build the Olympic pool,
basketball courts, soccer and baseball fields
and a brand-new playground.
We're doing the same with West End
Park. We have also improved others like
Bryan Park and another which has great
meaning to me, the Gold Star Park. That
is for families of people who died while
serving in the military. If you count them
all, we have done around 13 parks.
But also, in areas where there was no
park, we built parks. We inaugurated Fair-
lawn Park a couple of months ago, and now
the second phase is coming along really
well. In that area, Southwest 63rd Avenue
and Sixth Street, there was no park there.
We identified some lots to purchase from
homeowners who wanted to sell and now,
there is a beautiful park there.
We've also been fixing streets since
day one. These projects require funds,
and sometimes, you have to think outside
the box. Every single session in state
government, I travel to Tallahassee to find
funding. Some projects get funded and
some don't. But those that get funded are
done immediately. That's the reason I was
elected, to make those improvements and
pass legislation to help the people.
Q: In August, voters approved an in-
dependent inspector general's office, a
measure you sponsored What drove you
to introduce the legislation?

A: I know the City of Miami and 1 know
how it works. I'm sick and tired of people
referring to Miami as a Banana Republic
with a lot of corruption. There has been
corruption. We cannot hide from that. But
the city had an audit department. In that
department, if you asked for an audit of
anything, it took forever and it was not
independent.
The reality was that the job of the audi-
tor was dependent on approval from the
commission. They voted for the auditor
and they could fire the auditor. I thought we
needed a more independent office like the
county has, an independent inspector who
is not going to be picked by the commis-
sion. The inspector is going to be selected
by an independent committee made up of
members from reputable departments like
the State Attorney and Public Defender
of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court
for Miami -Dade, the chairperson of the
Miami -Dade Commission on Ethics and
Public Trust and other similar agencies
that have no ties to the city.
What 1 hope that office does is eliminate
the cloud that is around the City of Miami
once and for all and, at the same time, send
a message to anybody who wants to run
after I've left that you better come here
to serve and not to become rich because
there's going to be somebody overseeing
you, and if you do anything, that person
has the authority to start an investigation
into contracts or whatever it is.
Q: What other initiatives do you have
planned?
A: We have three initiatives that are very
dear to my heart. I've always had a place
in my heart for senior citizens. That's the
way that we were in Cuba, you take care
of your elders and you learn from them.
So, I have three projects. One is Badia,
which is going to be a community center
where seniors can come and take classes.
We're going to have English classes and
provide food for them there.
The others are two buildings that are
going to be affordable housing for low-
income seniors. Both buildings are going
to be reserved for Section Eight and are
on Flagler Street. That has been delayed
some because part of the site used to be a
gas station. We ran tests that showed con-
tamination, so we have to clean it.
But I'm looking forward for that to be
developed. There are going to be about 150
to 155 apartments between both buildings.
People forgethow little financial assistance
elders receive. It's nothing. It is our duty to
help them as much as we can. I also have a
hot meal program that brings food to about
300 homebound seniors.
I've also been blessed to be named the
chair of the Downtown Development
Authority. With the DDA board and staff;
we've transformed downtown. Now it is
safer and you can get around more easily
with our free circulator.
Flagler Street is finally going to be fin-
ished. We established a grant assistance
program for businesses that were affected
by the closing of the street for the beautifi-
cation project going on there. We also have
seed money for people who are looking to
establish new businesses downtown.
Our latest initiative, because I'm a firm
believer in the safety of the streets and
neighborhoods, is installing more cameras
that are monitored by off -duty police. We
have cameras in the central business dis-
trict, but now I'm proposing that we expand
it to Brickell and to the residential areas.
Q: As this is your last term as commis-
sioner, are you thinking about a mayoral
campaign?
A: God willing, and with health accom-
panying me, I'm planning on running for
mayor because of the energy that we have
brought to District Four. I want to spread
it throughout the whole city. I want to
bring the same philosophy to every single
district, that we have to serve and work
together with all the elected officials and
institutions within the City of Miami in
order for us to achieve the most important
goal of improving the quality of life in our
city and making people proud to live here.

Segtin Arsenio, "la mayo-
ria de los trabajadores del
cementerio lo han des-
valijado. Se han robado
tumbas, farolas, tarjas de
bronce. Algunos de esos
ladrones son del sindi-
cato de trabajadores o el
Partido Comunista. Pero
cuando se trata de dinero
no creen ni en su madre.
Lo que yo he visto hacer
aqui es digno de una pe-
licula de terror. Ya no hay
valores humanos, ni en
los colectivos laborales ni
en muchas familias. Es-
tando preso, mi madre y
mi hermano vendieron la
casa sin contar conmigo.
Duermo en el cementerio
o en un parque cercano.
Este gobierno ha engen-
drado una lacra de sinver-
giienzas que se pisotean
unos a otros sin escrupu-
los. No respetamos ni a
nuestros muertos. Cuba
esta maldecida".
La perdida de valores
en la sociedad cubana es
alarmante. Con el ascenso
al poder de Fidel Castro en
enero de 1959, comenzo el
declive de los buenos mo-
dales, el respeto al pro-
jimo y la decencia.
En nombre de una ideo-
logia se dividio a la fami-
lia y a los amigos. Era mas
importante la lealtad al
castrismo que los nexos
familiares y la amistad.
Los creyentes fueron
expulsados de las uni-
versidades. Homosexua-
les, testigos de Jehova
y amantes de la musica
rock fueron demonizados
por Fidel Castro porque
en su opinion eran noci-
vos para la sociedad.
Los adversarios al regi-
men tenian dos caminos: el
exilio o la carcel. Castro no
respeto la propiedad pri-
vada ni el patrimonio fami-
liar. Decomiso empresas y
bienes a ciudadanos cuba-
nos o extranjeros que gene-
raban riquezas. Confisco la
prensa Libre y prohibio el
pensamiento liberal.
El castrismo transformo
a Cuba en un gigantesco
campo de concentracion
a cielo abierto. Al desa-
parecer la sociedad civil
y los mecanismos demo-
craticos, 'Papa Estado'
premiaba o castigaba a la
gente de acuerdo con su
escala de valores. El re-
gimen decidia el dia que
los nifios debian comprar
juguetes y era el encar-
gado de repartir entre los
trabajadores, radios, ca-
feteras, ventiladores y te-
levisores si eran fieles al
proceso revolucionario.
Para Carlos, sociologo,
"Fidel y la revolucion es-
taban por encima de la
familia, los afectos y las
creencias. Las personas
se debian al Estado. Se
erradicaron las buenas
costumbres porque eran
valores pequefios burgue-
ses. No era bien visto decir
senor y senora. El termino
correcto, dictado por el
marxismo, era Ilamarlo
compafiero y compafiera.
El adoctrinamiento fue
feroz desde el circulo in-
fantil hasta la universi-
dad. Castro transformo a
los cubanos en una especie
de bonsais. Se les extirpo
la capacidad de disentir
publicamente y reclamar
derechos considerados
universales".
Luego continuo: "Para
entender la obediencia y
el miedo todavia existente
La perdida de valores en la sociedad
cubana es alarmante. Con el ascenso al
poder de Fidel Castro en enero de 1959,
comenzo el declive de los buenos modales,
el respeto al projimo y la decencia
en la poblacion, hay que co-
nocer los mecanismos de
coaccion a los que ha sido
sometido el pueblo cubano
durante 65 afios. El experi-
mento social de Fidel Cas-
tro y Ernesto Guevara de
disefiar un hombre nuevo,
alejado de las costumbres
occidentales y que fuera
una maquina de matar
para enfrentar al impe-
rialismo yanqui, fracaso
porque el ser humano no
puede ser programado por
ingenieria politica. Lo que
ha quedado de ese ensayo
es un tipo simulador, ines-
crupuloso y mal educado",
concluye el sociologo.
Escapar
Para escapar del manico-
mio socialista castrista,

gas. Robar cualquier cosa
es una forma de cobrar el
peaje al adoctrinamiento

En los barrios son bien las
jovenes que se prostituyen

"Mi sobrina no quiere es-

Su meta es largarse del
pais. Mientras, prefiere
trabajar en un bar de me -
sera, vendiendo platanos
en un agromercado o ji-
netear con un 'yuma (ex-
tranjero). Cualquiera de
esas tres opciones le per -
mite ganar mas dinero que
como profesional. Es una
muestra de la depaupera-
cion social que estamos
viviendo", confeso Mirta,
profesora de secundaria.
Cuba hace agua por todas
partes. No se vislumbra la
puerta de salida a la pro-
funda y larga crisis econo-
mica que vive el pais. Los
servicios basicos no funcio-
nan. Y las infraestructuras
han colapsado. Si algun dia
la democracia aterriza en la
otrora Llave del Caribe, re-
vertir el desastre economico
es posible. Lo preocupante
es recuperar los valores ci-
vicos en una sociedad que

MEGA -MALL
designed to protect Gra-
ham from giving up land
near its other valuable
holdings that would then
sit vacant under a new
owner. The requirements
aren't detailed in the suit,
bur Triple Five mentions
road construction and
sewage connections as
actions it hasn't complet-
ed but is pursuing.
With the pre -devel-
opment work uncomplet-
ed, Triple Five is unable to
purchase the 63-acre site
under the terms of the
2014 deal.
The previously undis-
closed dispute involves
two development power-
houses that united a dec-
ade ago to try to bring
Miami -Dade what would
be the largest mall in the
U.S. Triple Five, the
Canada -based, family -
owned Mall of America
owner, and Graham, the
family -owned developer
behind the creation of
Miami Lakes, won county
approval in 2018 fora pair
of projects where Florida's
Turnpike meets Interstate
75.
The best known portion
was for American Dream
Miami, a retail theme park
so large it would have
room for an indoor ski
slope and a submarine
lake. Next door, Graham
planned a mix of resi-
dential and commercial
buildings aimed at captur-
ing spillover activity from
American Dream, which
projected 30 million Vis-
itors a year.
While the two devel-
opers were once allied, the
cooperation between them
has slid into friction.
"We are very disap-
pointed with the lawsuit
but confident about the
outcome," Stuart Wylie,
president and CEO of
Graham, said in a state-
ment. In its own state-
ment, Triple Five said it
"is hopeful that the matter
will be resolved amica-
bly."
Both projects remain
years behind schedule,
with Graham initially
planning to start
construction in 2018 and
Triple Five planning to
have American Dream
open and employing
5,000 people by next
year.
In crafting the lawsuit,
Triple Five claimed to
A rendering of the indoor amusement park for American
Dream Miami, a retail theme park planned in Miami -Dade
County with a goal of attracting 30 million visitors a year
share private conversa-
tions with Graham sug-
gesting the mixed -use
complex of new homes
and places to shop may
wind up being a ware-
house complex.
"Graham has done
nothing to advance its
retail, business park, and
apartment project," Triple
Five said in the lawsuit
filed by its Miami -Dade
subsidiary, International
Atlantic. "Graham has
told the Purchaser it
would like to switch to
industrial use."
A Graham lawyer, Scott
Hiaasen of Coffey Burling-
ton, denied the allegation.
"The Graham Compa-
nies are not part of the
development of the mall,"
Hiaasen, a former Miami
Herald reporter, said in a
statement. "Their plans
for therr own property
have not changed, and the
allegations to the contrary
in the lawsuit are false."
Graham has not Filed its
response to the lawsuit,
leaving Triple Five's ren-
dition of the facts the only
source of information for
the behind -the -scenes
dispute.
TRIPLE FIVE AND
GRAHAM COMPANIES
JOINED FORCES FOR A
MEGA -MALL. NOW
THEY'RE FIGHTING
The suit says Triple Five
is out of regular extension
options but claims the
original contract entitles
the developer to more
time because of delays
from the 2020 COVID
crisis that upended the
economy and develop-
ment schedules.
Triple Five also argues
that Graham cited COVID
in winning regulatory
extensions from Miami -
Dade County for its pro-
pj! he Largest Antique Mall.

ject and that the agree-
ment on the 63-acre par-
cel should grant Triple
Five the same leeway in
its purchase deal.
An email quoted in the
lawsuit suggests Graham
s open to allowing the
deal to stay alive, but only
if Triple Five agrees to a
price matching real estate
values that have soared
over the last 10 years — as
well as prove it's still on
track to start construction.
"You continued to insist
that we close on the sale
of the property at the
current price,"
un-
named Graham lawyer
wrote in an email to a
Triple Five counterpart on
April 4, acconding to the
suit. "We told you the
same thing we have said
for quite a while. We are
willing to discuss an ex-
tension provided that ...
there was a good chance
that you would be able to
satisfy the conditions to
closing within a reason-
able period land( the pur-
chase price would become
the market value of the
property land] additional
option extension fees
would be required."
The court fight lands in
the middle of Triple Five's
effort to secure subsidies
from Miami -Dade to re-
vive the project. County
commissioners n the past
week delayed a vote on
legislation lifting a subsidy
ban that rival malls lob-
bied to impose on Amer-
ican Dream as pan of the
county's 2018 approval of
the project.
Triple Five has already
lobbied Florida to fund an
interchange near the me-
ga -mall site that would ne
ed to be constructed for
the project to go forward.
The company wants mil-
lions of dollars in county
hinds to subsidize other
infrasimchue that Triple
Five would otherwise have
to pay for as part of its
2018 agreement.
Triple Five cites the
subsidy push as an exam-
ple of pre -development
work that is helping Gra-
ham, too. Because the
American Dream site is
next door to the Graham
sire, the roads and other
infrastructure Triple Five
needs would benefit both
projects, according to the
lawsuit.
"The Purchaser is in the
process of securing bun-
dreds Of millions of dollars
of governmental funding
for highway, road, and
water and sewer infra-
structure ... which will
substantially enhance the
use and value of the Gra-
ham Development Proper-
ty," the lawsuit said.
Graham's "attitude is to
take the money and run,"
the lawsuit said, "leaving
the Purchaser with noth-
ing but losses after years
of investments and work."

designed to protect Gra-
ham from giving up land
near its other valuable
holdings that would then
sit vacant under a new
owner. The requirements
aren't detailed in the suit,
but Triple Five mentions
road construction and
sewage connections as
actions it hasn't complet-
ed but is pursuing.
With the pre -devel-
opment work uncomplet-
ed, Triple Five is unable to
purchase the 63-acre site
under the terms of the
2014 deal.
The previously undis-
closed dispute involves
two development power-
houses that united a dec-
ade ago to try to bring
Miami -Dade what would
be the largest mall in the
U.S. Triple Five, the
Canada -based, family -
owned Mall of America
owner, and Graham, the
family -owned developer
behind the creation of
Miami Lakes, won county
approval in 2018 fora pair
of projects where Florida's
Turnpike meets Interstate
75.
The best known portion
was for American Dream
Miami, a retail theme park
so large it would have
room for an indoor ski
slope and a submarine
lake. Next door, Graham
planned a mix of resi-
dential and commercial
buildings aimed at captur-
ing spillover activity from
American Dream, which
projected 30 million vis-
itors a year.
While the two devel-
opers were once allied, the
cooperation between them
has slid into friction.
"We are very disap-
pointed with the lawsuit
but confident about the
outcome," Stuart Wylie,
president and CEO of
Graham, said in a state-
ment. In its own state-
ent, triple Five said it
"is hopeful that the matter
will be resolved amica-
bly."
Both projects remain
years behind schedule,
with Graham initially
planning to start
construction in 2018 and
Triple Five planning to
have American Dream
open and employing
5,000 people by next
year.
In crafting the lawsuit,
Triple Five claimed to

County with a goal of attracting 30 million visitors a year.
share private conversa-
tions with Graham sug-
gesting the mixed -use
complex of new homes
and places to shop may
windup being a ware-
house complex.
"Graham has done
nothing to advance its
retail, business park, and
apartment project," Triple
Five said in the lawsuit
filed by its Miami -Dade
subsidiary, International
Atlantic. "Graham has
told the Purchaser it
would like to switch to
industrial use."
A Graham lawyer, Scott
Hiaasen of Coffey Burling-
ton, denied the allegation.
"The Graham Compa-
nies are not part of the
development of the mall,"
Hiaasen, a former Miami
Herald reporter, said in a
statement. "Their plans
for their own property
have not changed, and the
allegations to the contrary
in the lawsuit are false."
Graham has not filed its
response to the lawsuit,
leaving Triple Five's ren-
dition of the facts the only
source of infomsation for
the behind -the -scenes
dispute.
TRIPLE FIVE AND
GRAHAM COMPANIES
JOINED FORCES FOR A
MEGA -MALL. NOW
THEY'RE FIGHTING
The suit says Triple Five
is out of regular extension
options but claims the
original contract entitles
the developer to more
time because of delays
from the 2020 COV1D
crisis that upended the
economy and develop-
ment schedules.
Triple Five also argues
that Graham cited COVID

tensions from Miami -

ject and that the agree-
ment on the 63-acre par-
cel should grant Triple
Five the same leeway in
its purchase deal.
An email quoted in the
lawsuit suggests Graham
is open to allowing the
deal to stay alive, but only
N Triple Five agrees to a
price matching real estate
values that have soared
over the last 10 years — as
well as prove it's still on
track to start construction.
"You continued to insist
that we close on the sale
of the property at the
current price," an un-
named Graham lawyer
wrote in an email to a
Triple Five counterpart on
April 4, according to the
suit. "We told you the
same thing we have said
for quite a while. We are
willing to discuss an ex-
tension provided that ...
there was a good chance
that you would be able to
satisfy the conditions to
closing within a reason-
able period land] the pur-
chase price would become
the market value of the
property (and) additional
option extension fees
would be required."
The court fight lands in
the middle of Triple Five's
effort to secure subsidies
from Miami -Dade to re-
vive the project. County
commissioners in the past
week delayed a vote on
legislation lifting a subsidy
ban that rival malls lob-
bied to impose on Amer-
ican Dream as part of the
county's 2018 approval of
the project
Triple Five has already
lobbied Florida to fund an
interchange near the me-
ga -mall site that would
need to be constructed for
the project to go forward.
The company wants mil-
lions of dollars in county
funds to subsidize other
infmstnicture that Triple
Five would otherwise have
to pay for as part of its
2018 agreement.
Triple Five tires the
subsidy push as an exam-
ple of pre -development
work that is helping Gra-
ham, too. Because the
American Dream site is
next door to the Graham
site, the roads and other
infrastructure Triple Five
needs would benefit both
projects, according to the
lawsuit.
"The Purchaser is in the
process of securing hun-
dreds of millions of dollars
of governmental funding
for highway, road, and
water and sewer infra-
structure ... which will
substantially enhance the
use and value of the Gra-
ham Development Proper-
ty," the lawsuit said.
Graham's "attitude is to
take the money and run,"
the lawsuit said, "leaving
the Purchaser with noth-
ing but losses after years
of investments and work."
