Miami Commissioner Miguel Gabela and the Bayfront Park Management Trust board are in charge of a multi-million dollar public park AND THEY CAN'T DO BASIC MATH!
#BecauseMiami
I questioned them about their recent vote to give their unqualified interim executive director and Gabela crony, Raul Miro, a 70 PERCENT RAISE, from $150,000 to $255,000 - plus a wildly generous benefits package that gives him over $350,000 in annual compensation from taxpayers.
Miro, who may (or may not) have a high school diploma, failed to meet the advertised minimum job requirements for the position and now makes over FIVE times Miami's median household income of $66,000.
Incredibly, Gabela ADMITS that Raul Miro only got the position he's unqualified for is because he's politically connected to him! It's so rare to see anyone confess to this kind of cronyism, it's almost refreshing.
And now Gabela and board member Carlos Martell wanna argue with me about my math, gaslighting that 70% is not really 70%!
