The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
#BecauseMiami: A Miracle Has Happened

Commissioner Selfie, is that what Crespo called you? He did. After I went to the Democratic National Convention and took about 100 selfies. With balloons. So you earned it. Oh, yes. No, no, no. It's called networking, Ken. God, I miss him.

Number one, Billy tweeted, God, I love you, Billy. Ken Russell is a con man who would sell out any community white black LGBTQIA plus if it meant a nickel in his pocket and or the promise of more power.

#BecauseMiami: A Miracle Has Happened

The best thing is to actually leave, and it should be mandatory for anyone who's in office to not stay in office continuously. Because when you leave, people stop answering your calls, stop laughing at your jokes, stop telling you you're right. And it's healthy. Like my wife get me grounded this entire time. But you do, people, everyone around you needs something from you.

And so they're willing to show you how great you are in order to keep your ego built up. And that's not a healthy place. But everyone who does get in office or runs for office has an element of susceptibility to that. Otherwise, they would just stay as an activist in the background, for example. If you don't mind being on camera and giving those speeches, and that gets addictive.

Because you feel like, oh, they like me. They like what I'm doing. And I pass legislation that's good. And I remember because I was a parks activist to start. It was a contaminated park in front of my house. I fought City Hall. I was successful at that effort. And then I said, what do I do now? There's five other contaminated parks. I called Bruce Matheson for advice.

And he said, whatever you do, don't run for office. And then I went. Good advice. Yeah.

Right. And so, because he remained as a parks activist ready at the push of a button to bring a lawsuit against bad behavior. Both a man and a hammock. And I've sat with him in a park since this last month, actually, since watching the commission do what they're doing to see if there's room for a lawsuit at this point. And, of course, I'm not listening to him again because I am running for office.

Yeah. And so, yes, I'm guilty of a lot of those things, but it's certainly not trying to do the wrong thing, and it's certainly not coming in for the wrong reasons. Was I naive in what happened with this Mel Rhys deal? I'll say yes, because I really believed in my vote and everything I fought for, and now I have to look back on it and regret that vote.

And I'm not saying that now because I want to gain everyone's sympathy after being wrong on that vote as I try to run for a new office. It's literally contrition and realization that they need to be held accountable. I still believe they can be held accountable, but I have no idea what else they're violating in that lease. And I'd love to get into that.

So once on the inside, again, I'm ready to blow up the system, hold them to account on everything that was intended in that lease, and move forward from there on trying to make Miami better.
