#BecauseMiami: A Miracle Has Happened

To undo it and actually won that vote. We were willing to actually force them to tear down those new buildings that they have finished constructing. You didn't have the votes for that. I did. I passed it.

That will be what remains to be seen at the ballot box, because I don't believe that, and that's not what I'm hearing from constituents. And you pick these few things that make you a single-issue voter that you really care about that you disagree with me on.

Because Vicki Bendis gave the city administration a separate set of lawyers to represent them and work against the commission. We got sandbagged. I actually got the commission together, and we voted unanimously to knock out that Watson Island developer because they were in violation.

But then when all of the administration, who was worried about their own jobs, they would realize they'd have to admit that they were complicit in allowing these permits to go beyond. They all got their own lawyers. This was another Tricky Vicky.

And we've got to be able to stand up to developers when they're breaking the law. If they're not following the words of the referendum, 15 years have gone and they hadn't put a shovel in the ground. They needed to lose that lease. And so, you know, there's only so much you can do.
