But they won't go after elected officials unless there's some smoking gun in their hand. So my duty was to vote against bad things, vote for good things, try to make things better. And I'm very proud over eight years of the legislation I was able to pass.

Most of the environmental legislation we have in Miami now is legislation that I wrote around everything from emissions to water quality to development standards and seawalls and everything. Creating the Miami Forever Bond, $400 million to help us with storm surge and sea level rise. I had to play the game with these guys to get these things done. I don't have to play that game anymore.

I don't have to be there. It's not my goal to be a career politician in the city of Miami. I was gone. If I'm coming back as mayor, it's with bombs. I am sick of watching what they're doing, and I don't need to pass minor legislation and horse trade with these commissioners anymore. I can come in on a complete mission to revamp the system. The charter needs to be changed.

We need more commissioners. We need even your voting. We need so many things that can make the system better and attract better people to run for office.

100 percent. When we came to the I brought it two times when we came to the redistricting portion of increasing the district and the votes weren't there. There was nobody there willing to support that motion. And so I started working together with groups like Engage Miami and others to see if there's a petition that could be brought to change the charter to increase.

And that's the main way that needs to be done unless it can be done through the body. Right now they're trying to bring in real term limits. Lifetime Joe was there when I was seven years old. He's still there now after I'm gone. We don't have real term limits, and there's a commissioner now, Damian Pardo, who's trying to bring that.

If he's got the votes for it, which I doubt, the commission will pass it. It'll go on the ballot, and the voters can choose. I think he's got the votes. I hope he does, because it's the right thing. I mean, if Knockwood Manolo returns. It's the right thing for Miami, as well as all of these amendments. And so if we can blow up the city, and not in the literal way that you would like to.

But literally break the... I would not like to blow up the city.

No, if we could break the wheel that keeps turning and these same families over and over keep getting elected, we can make a system that's attractive to better candidates, to better people who would otherwise never want to be a part of this corrupt system, who would rather be entrepreneurs or artists or whatever they want to do successfully in life that doesn't involve politics.

It's not meant to be a lifetime career. Come in, do your service, make the city better, and go back to what you're doing.
