I was with that chief, but when I realized he no longer wanted to be here, the manager didn't want him to be here, the mayor didn't want him to be here, and of course, the commissioners that were trying to oust him, he wants to leave, I'll vote for him to leave. But I didn't agree, and I stated very clearly at that time, I did not agree with what was done to him.

Voting against every single thing that was being done to to to violate their First Amendment rights and to create this fictitious crackdown on code that was happening all over the city just to whitewash what they were doing to ball and chain. Did you go to the FBI?

Well, that's what I've been doing. I've literally been testifying. I've literally been subpoenaed. I've literally been in depositions.

But that was years later, after all the damage had been done. I'm not the state attorney. I did talk with the state attorney's office on public corruption. And what they interestingly say is a lot of what the city of Miami does is illegal until they vote on it. And once they vote, that makes it legal. And that's a shame.

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.
