1. This Week in South Florida: Feb. 8 | News
I THOUGHT THATS WITH a GREAT LINE. BUT THERE WILL GOING TO BE SOME
CONSERVATIVES WHO ARE GOING TO SAY AMNESTY IS WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. SO I
THINK THAT'S SPEAK VOLUMES TO WHERE THIS POLICY IS GOING AND HOW OUR FRIENDS
AND NEIGHBORS IN THE REGION ARE TAKING IT AS WELL. WE'LL TAKE GLENNA AND I WILL
GO ALONG WITH YOU IT'S BEAUTIFUL KEY WEST, BEAUTIFUL IN HOLLYWOOD. REALLY BAD
NEGOTIATION ON THEIR PART. ALL RIGHT, 4.119. I THINK THE RACE IS BETWEEN ADAM AND
ATWATER. WE HAVE A New LOT OF PEOPLE IN COMMON THAT KNOW US. AND WE ARE
JOINED NOW BY THE CANDIDATES FOR FORT BAUD -- FORT LAUDERDALE MAYOR. IS THAT
PEOPLE SAY OH, PAM BONDY, JEFF ATWATER AND-- THEY'RE LAP DOGS FOR THE GOVERNOR.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THERE WAS SUCH Any THING AS SUNSHINE LAW FOR THE
CABINET MEMBERS. THANK YOU. WE NEED TO KEEP SAND ON THAT BEACH. IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE WHICH AT THE MOMENT WAS WHERE THE FOCUS IS. WE OPENED UP AND
EXPANDED THE OPPORTUNITIES TO FEED THE HOMELESS. AND WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM
YOU. IF WE COULD, I WANT TO MOVE ON TO JEB BUSH AND I THINK VERY SHREWD
CAMPAIGN THUS FAR FOR THE GOP NOMINATION. DAVID BECHHAM WANTS Any NIGHT
STADIUM ON a WATERFRONT. CHRIS BRENNAN, FIRST TIME RUNNING FOR OFFICE? YES. ALL
OF A New SUDDEN OUT OF THE BLUE. THAT WAS COMMUNICATED IN THE PRESS. I'M SURE
MAYOR SILER WILL RESPOND, BUT IF THE RATE IS 4.9 MILLS OR SOMETHING AND THAT IS
EXTREMELY LOW. NOW JUST INFORM ME, ARE YOUR WORKERS IN a SELF-INSURED
PROGRAM OR ARE YOU PART OF THE FLORIDA STATE RETIREMENT PROGRAM. AND THIS IS a
PROBLEM FAR MORE FOR DEMOCRATS THAN REPUBLICANS. THAT IS WHY I DIDN'T WANT TO
GET IN TO GIVING UP OR TAKING, THIS IS JUST a NATURAL COURSE BETWEEN TWO
GOVERNMENTS THAT HAVE DECIDED TO REESTABLISH DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS AND TO
BEGIN THAT PROCESS AND LEARN THAT FIRST STEP. OUR BUDGET CURRENTLY IS OVER 600
MILLION AND IT'S GROWING ANNUALLY. IS GIVING UP EVERYTHING AND CUBA IS
KPRAMSING NONE. HAVE The GREAT DAY.
. IT IS NOT. YOU BUT MARK, IF THERE IS AN ANSWER, IT IS REALLY GOOD QUALIFIED
CANDIDATES WHO REPRESENT DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW. I THINK WE HAVE HAD
NUMEROUS DISCUSSIONS ON THAT NOW NUMEROUS CLARIFICATIONS ON THAT WE NEVER
BANNED FEEDING THE HOMELESS. I THINK HE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. AND STILL TAKE CARE
OF THE CITY'S WORKFORCE? WELL, FIRST OF ALL, WE NEED TO PUT THE NEEDS OF THE
RESIDENTS FIRST. LOWER THAN THE STATE AND NATIONAL AVERAGE. OUR RESERVES ARE
UP ABOVE ALL THE NATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS. AFTER Any YEAR AND The DAY, THEN
THEY CAN TRAVEL BACK. JENNIFER. PROVIDE GREAT PUBLIC SAFETY, GREAT QUALITY OF
LIFE AND PRESERVE AND PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY. GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE, GIVE US AN
EXAMPLE. WE HAVE HAD A New FAIR DEGREE OF FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT FROM MY
PER SPECKIVE AND THAT'S AN INDICATION, THAT EXPOSES OUR CITY TO LIABILITY. SHE
OBVIOUSLY IS PRESIDENT OBAMA'S DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE, CHAIRWOMAN,
SHE CAN'T DISAGREE WITH HIM BUT BOY, SHE DOES NOT WANT TO PARTWAYS AT ALL WITH -
- ILEANA AND MARRIOR, THEY ARE VERY CLOSE ON THIS. BUT TO RUBIO'S CREDIT THIS IS
SOMETHING HE BELIEVES IN AND WILL PUSH FOR. I COULD RUN THROUGH, THIS IS Any LIST
OF THE NATIONAL AWARDS AND ACCOLADES THE CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE HAS
RECEIVED. THANK YOU. THIS IS CUBA IN FRONT OF US TODAY. THANK YOU, JACK. YOU'RE
RIGHT T DOESN'T SEEM TO REFLECT THAT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CITY THAT YOU
THINK NEEDS TO BE CHANGED? APATHY. WE HAVE Any BUNCH OF DIFFERENT PROGRAMS
WHETHER IT IS POLICE, FIRE, GENERAL EMPLOYEES, WE'RE NOT IN DEFAULT AT ALL WELL.

2. BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT HAD PROMISE HEAD THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO THAT. HE DID
SAY AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS CABINET MEETING, I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY. PAM
BONDEE HAS JUST SIMPLY GIVEN a PASS. HE WILL TRAVEL THERE. AND ONCE THAT
PROCESS IS DONE, THEN THE DECISION WILL BE MADE AND MADE PUBLIC. IS THIS
SYMBOLIC, IS THIS The GESTURE? WHY ARE YOU DOING THERE? TO BE THE GOD'S HONEST
TRUTH IS I'M PUSHING FOR, TO BRING Any NEW VOTER BASE. THIS PROCESS STARTED
BEFORE I BECAME MAYOR. BUT THEN AGAIN FOR RICK SCOTT'S CREDIT PERHAPS HE
PROBABLY DOESN'T CARE THAT MUCH. LET ME BEGIN WITH YOU. THE POLITICS IN SOUTH
FLORIDA ARE SO INTERESTING. GOVERNOR SCOTT AND THE CABINET MET THIS WEAK AND
AFTER ALL THE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THE OUSTER OF GERALD BAILEY
HAPPENED, FROM THE CABINET MEMBERS THEMSELVES, DID THE CABINET MEMBERS GIVE
THE GOVERNOR The PASS? THEY JUST PUNTED IT SEEMS LIKE ON THAT. ON THE CRIMINAL
PIPELINE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE A New POLITICAL ISSUE.
OBAMA PROMISED HE WOULD NOT SWAP THEM. MY PREDICTION IS THAT MARCO RUBIO
WILL BE PRESIDENT ONE DAY. NOW THAT'S A New VERY SERIOUS ACT. AND I DIDN'T REALIZE
THAT Any DECISION LIKE THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT ALL THE CABINET MEMBERS SHOULD
HAVE BEEN PART OF. EXACTLY. THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT a PROBLEM SPECIFIC TO FORT
LAUDERDALE. I DON'T KNOW THAT WILL BREAK THROUGH AND THAT MUCH WILL COME OF
IT DESPITE THE SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS. WELCOME BACK. TOMORROW WILL BE ANOTHER
WARM ONE AHEAD OF a FRONT THAT WILL IMPACT OUR AREA. IT DIDN'T HAVE TO. THERE'S
BEEN GREAT REPORTING DONE, ESPECIALLY BY THE FBI TIMES HER-- THE TELEPHONE
TIMES HERALD BUT I DON'T-- BY THE TAMPA BAY TIME ITS REPORTING. THAT IS JUST ONE OF
THE TOPICS WE TAKE TO THE ROUND TABLE AND THAT'S NEXT. WE WANT KIND OF AN
OVERARCHING STATEMENT AND EARL, LET ME ASK YOU, THAT QUESTION, GIVE US YOUR
OVERARCHING STATEMENT ABOUT WHY YOU WANT TO BE THE MAYOR OF FORT
LAUDERDALE? I THINK WE NEED TO INSTITUTE SOME FINANCIAL REFORM IN THE CITY. I
HOPE YOU HAVE The WONDERFUL SUNDAY, REMEMBER, AS ALWAYS, STAY INFORMED, GET
INVOLVED. WE HAVE DONE WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE
QUALITY OF LIFE. WE'LL CONTINUE THAT. AND I THINK SOMETHING POSITIVE WILL COME
OUT OF THIS. AND NOW IN THIS PRIMARY, HE REALLY DOESN'T HAVE COMPETITION. I THINK
I SAID ON THIS SHOW A New FEW MONTHS AGO THERE ARE THINGS I THINK WE COULD
HAVE DONE BETTER. WHETHER THIS HELPS HIM IN a PRESIDENT RACE OR SENATE RE-
ELECTION RACE OR NOT, I DOUBT IT. WE NOW KNOW The SECOND ROUND OF TALKS WILL
TAKE PLACE IN WASHINGTON IN A New FEW WEEKS. VIA E-MAIL, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, ALL
THE ADDRESSES RIGHT THERE ON YOUR SCREEN. LET'S CHANGE COURSE. IT HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THE CAMPAIGN. WOULDN'T THAT GO TO a BUREAUCRATIC COVER YOUR YOU
KNOW WHAT MENTALITY? BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M SAYING. AND IT'S a CRYING
SHAME. PAM BONDEE, ADAM AND JEFF WERE ALL CLEAR THEY WERE UP SET WITH THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND TO A New DEGREE IN VARIOUS WAYS WITH THE GOVERNOR. a
RETIRED AIR FORCE LIEUTENANT COLONEL ON HIS THIRD ATTEMPT TO BE MAYOR. THE
PRESIDENT HAS DONE WITH THE MEASURES THAT HE ANNOUNCED ON THE 17th
DECEMBER, AND WHICH WERE CODIFIED ON THE 16th OFIAN BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
TREAS REAL ESTATE AND COMMERCE IN TERMS OF REMITTANCES AND OPENING UP
IMPORTS THAT GO DIRECTLY TO SMALL-BUSINESS OWNERS IN CUBA, THOSE ARE MEASURES
THE PRESIDENT CAN TAKE UNDER HIS EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY. YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY
CRITICIZE THIS BUDGET. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US TODAY. I THINK THERE ARE
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE ISSUE STARTING WITH DEBI
WASSERMAN-SCHULTZ AND SENATOR BOB MENENDEZ FROM NEW JERSEY. ABSOLUTELY.
DOING GREAT JOB-- I FELT LIKE THAT COULD HAVE MOVED ALONG SMOOTHER. DID YOU
WANT TO ANSWER TO THAT? WE HAVE BEEN Any MINUTE BEFORE WE HIT Any BREAK. WE
VIM PLEMENTED THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS. AND WE HAD TO THEN OPEN IT UP FOR

3. PUBLIC BID IT WASN'T TO a PUBLIC BID. AND THEN HE WEPT ON LETTERMAN AND FLAT OUT
SAID HIS CHOP HER BEEN HIT BY AN R-- IT IS The HUMAN TRAIT TO REWRITE HISTORY TO
TRY TO MAKE OURSELVES LOOK BETTER, SMARTER, BRAVER. NOW WHERE DOES IT GO? IF
SEEMS LIKE OBAMA HAS DONE Any GREAT JOB CHANGING OFERTION ABOUT CUBA. THE
CRITICISM WAS DIRECTED AT THE PROCESS THAT WAS DONE BY STAFF. THE DEMOCRATIC
TURNOUT WAS HORRIBLE. THE PLACES TO INCORPORATE. AND WHAT BUSH IS SHOWING IS
THAT HE'S NOT BACKING OFF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT a LOT OF PRIMARY GOP PRIMARY
VOTERS FIND OFFENSIVE. OUR CITIES TODAY CAN'T EVEN PAY THE INTEREST ON THAT
DEBT. THEY'RE JUST LOOKING FOR Any WAY TO GET BACK IF. AND THEY'RE TRYING TO SAY
WELL, WE REALLY DIDN'T SWAP THE SPIES FOR ALAN GROSS. WHEN IT COMES TO VARIOUS
AGENCIES, THE HEADS OF THOSE AGENCIES, STATE AGENCIES REPORT TO ALL FOUR OF
THEM. THEY'RE ALL IN FAVOR OF OUR CURRENT, THE PREVIOUS STAND STAND ON CUBA.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY? FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD OPEN UP THE DOOR AND
FOLLOW THE STATE LAW IN TERMS OF HAVING RESPONSES TO OPEN BIDS IN FORT
LAUDERDALE. THAT WASN'T TACTFUL AS YOU SAID. WELL, IT CERTAINLY DIDN'T HELP HIM. I
WANT TO RUN JUST A New LITTLE STEP FROM THAT SPEECH. YOU WILL YOU HAVE TO DO IS A
New LITTLE INVESTIGATION AND REALIZE THAT HE JUST WROTE STATEMENTS OUT AS HE
HAS DONE THIS MORNING WITH NO BACKUP. LET'S HOPE ARE YOU SUCCESSFUL. WE ARE IN
GREAT FISCAL SHAPE. ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN CAME OUT ON CAPITOL HILL IN ONE OF THE
SPEECHES AND INTERVIEWS AND SAID SHE DOESN'T THINK MARCO RUBIO WILL RUN
AGAINST JEB. CAN ALL THESE ENTITIES BE WRONG? AND ONE INDIVIDUAL WHO VUNG FOR
OFFICE FOR THE THIRD TIME BE RIGHT? IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. THE CITY HAS NEVER
BEEN IN BETTER SHAPE. I DON'T SEE HER RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR EITHER. I REMEMBER
WHEN I WAS A New KID, HE WOULD FEED ON THE BEACH. I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. RIGHT.
ANSWER THE QUESTION WHY THE MEMBERS PUNTED. 1.08 PERCENTAGE POINTS. THOSE
THINGS WILL KEEP MOVING FORWARD. I THINK THAT HE WILL BE ANNOUNCING SOON. TAKE
ME THERE. WHEN WE COME RIGHT BACK. THEN WE COOL DOWN BY WEDNESDAY. AS I
MENTIONED, THE STATE-SPONSORED TERRORISM IS UNDER REVIEW RIGHT NOW. THE CITY
IS MOVING FORWARD. HOW DO YOU GET OVER VOTER APATHY. THE SWAPS OF THE SPIES
FOR OUR COMMUNITY WAS VERY PAINFUL. HE SAID THAT HE CAME UNDER FIRE AND WAS
IN HARM AWAY AND GRAVE DANGER, EXCEPT HE WASN'T. I MEAN I THINK-- YOU KNOW
WHAT, YOU LIKE PREDICTIONS, MY PREDICTION IS -- THEY'RE ON TAPE BY THE WAY.
RESUMING OUR DEBATE HERE THIS MORNING WITH CANDIDATES FOR FORT LAUDERDALE
MAYOR AND JACK SILER YOU HEARD MR. I KNOW THAT THE-- WILL BE IN MIAMI ON
THURSDAY, MEETING WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS. I'M GOING TO WRITE THAT DOWN. WE'VE
WORKED CLOSELY WITH THEM. AN EAST TO SOUTHEAST WIND ten TO 15 KNOTS AND SEAS
BETWEEN 3 TO 5 FEET, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. LET'S SORT OF OF ON TO THE BIG TOPIC
THAT PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO IN FORT LADER DALE. AND MARK,
BEFORE WE TOOK Any BREAK, YOU MENTIONED MARCO RUBIO, AND HE IS NOW THE CHAIR
OF THE SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS WESTERN HEMISPHERE COMMITTEE WHICH REALLY
GIVES HIM A New PLATFORM, AN IMPORTANT PLATFORM, IN FACT, MAYBE AN INCENTIVE TO
STAY IN THE SENATE. IF YOU LOOK AT 2012 AND 2008, EVERYONE WHO RAN FOR PRESIDENT
IT SEEMS ON THE GOP SIDE GOT HIS MOMENT IN THE SUN. AND HAS HILLS, I MEAN HOW--
THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO REFLECT MISMANAGEMENT OR BAD FINANCIAL PLANNING. THIS
WEEK CONGRESS SHOWED IT'S INTENT TO PREVENT THOSE TALKS FROM GOING
ANYWHERE, SO HOW CAN THEY POSSIBLY SUCCEED? LATE THIS WEEK LOCAL TEN ANCHOR
CALVIN HUGHS PUT SOME TIMELY QUESTIONS TO THE TOP STATE DEPARTMENT
REPRESENTATIVE. WE HAVE A New VERY LEAN BUDGET. BUT IN TERMS OF THE EMBARGO,
THAT IS SOMETHING THIS IT WOULD TAKE AN ACT OF CONGRESS TO DECIDE AND THE
PRESIDENT SAID IT'S TIME TO HAVE THAT SERIOUS DISCUSSION. THEY FIXED UP THE
PROCESS. I LAKE ALL OF THEM. I HAVE BEEN HON ARE-- HONORED AND BLESSED TO SEBS

4. THE LAST SIX AREA YEARS. WE HAVE NOT -- I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT FOR a LONG
TIME. WE ARE SO GLAD TO WELCOME HERE BACK TO THE ROUND TABLE. BUT ATWATER
MORE THAN LIKELY WILL RUN FOR RUB WHY'S SENATE SEAT IF MARCO RUBBIO ULTIMATELY
RUNS FOR PRESIDENT AND DECIDES NOT TO SEEK RE-ELECTION. INITIALLY WILLIAMS that
guy REPORTED THE INCIDENT CORRECTLY, TRUTHFULLY BUT OVER THE YEARS, HE BEGAN
TO EMBELLISH IT. FOR YEARS MARK WAS THE LEAD POLITICAL WRITER FOR THE MIAMI HER
ALL. TO GET YOU ON THE RECORD, I THINK IT'S a MATTER OF WEEKS BEFORE JEB SAYS YES,
I'M Any FORMAL CANDIDATE. WE SAW THAT a LITTLE BIT WITH THINKS ADMINISTRATION
SORT OF MUZZLING THE INSPECTOR GENERAL' OFFICE AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS. RIVER FRONT I THINK KIND OF LOST ITS EMING WHEN WE LOST THE MAJOR
RETAIL JOINTS. BLOOMBERG JUST CAME OUT WITH THE POLLS, JEB IS POLLING 30% IN FIRST
PLACE, THAT SAY PRETTY BIG FIELD. JACK, LET ME ASK YOU HERE, EARL HAS MENTIONED
Any SERIOUS DEFAULT WITH THE PENSIONS FOR THE CITY WORKERS. AND I HAPPEN TO
THINK THAT IS JUST FOLEY. THANKS FOR YOUR PREDICTION. JENNIFER, THANKS. THE
QUESTION IS FOR HOW LONG AND HOW FAR ALONG WILL GET. AND THAT'S THE WAY WE
HAVE IT RIGHT NOW. TO ALL OF YOU, GOOD MORNING. I'M DELIGHTED CHRIS IS RUNNING
IN THIS ELECTION. YEAH. THAT'S Any START. TONY, LET ME TURN TO YOU. AND I THINK ON
ALL FOUR POINTS WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DELIVER. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING
IN. FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE THIS DOCUMENT WHICH IS THE REVENUE MANUAL FOR THE
CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE. AND MARK CAPUTO IS NOW THE FLOR DA CORRESPONDENT
FOR "POLITICO", a LEADING WEB SITE FOR SOLID POLITICAL NEWS. WE HAVE a VERY
EFFICIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF PUBLIC SERVICES. WE ARE OUT OF TIME. WE
ARE VERY EASY TO FIND. IT HAS COST HIM HIS CREDIBILITY AND AS The JOURNALIST T MAY
COST HIM HIS JOB. HE IS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS BEEN IN CITY HALL, HE HAS GOTTEN
INVOLVED ON OTHER ISSUES AND HE AS BEEN ACTIVE. YEAH. THEY WILL EVENTUALLY
TURN OUT OF THE SOUTH, TOMORROW OUT AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM THAT WILL BRING US
THE RAIN CHANCE. BUT RICK SCOTT CERTAINLY WALKED OUT OF THIS MATTER HOBBLED.
SAY ALL RIGHT, YOU WANT TO FEED, YOU WANT TO HELP, LET'S GIVE YOU THIS FACILITY
AND THESE SANITARY FACILITIES TO DO THIS? WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS IT WAS The TOP
DOWN PROCESS. CAN I BRING INTO THIS CONVERSATION, I THINK MOST PEOPLE WILL LOOK
AT YOU AND YOUR CANDIDACY AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CITY'S FINANCING AND
PENSION REFORM AND BUDGETING. LIVE IN OUR STUDIO THIS MORNING, TWO, THREE
TERRIFIC POKES WHO ARE TALKING, WE ARE HAVING Any ROBUST ROUND TABLE THIS
MORNING. ABSOLUTELY NOT. AND I THINK THAT SORT OF OPENED UP THE PEOPLE WHO
MAYBE ARE KEYED IN TO CUBA ISSUES INTO HOW THE IMMIGRATION SYSTEM IS AND WHAT
THEY ENJOY, STAT THAWS NOBODY ELSE DOES. I DO WONDER TO WHAT DEGREE WE
OVERPLAY SOME OF THESE THINGS AS WELL AS THE POLLS. I AGREE. BUT THAT'S ONLY
PART OF THE PICTURE. OUR CURRENT MAYOR HAS SIPHONNED OFF APPROXIMATELY 15
MILLION DOLLARS OUT OF OUR CITY'S RESERVE TO BALANCE THE BUDGET. I DON'T KNOW
BRIAN ILIAMS PERSONALLY, NEVER HEAT HIM BUT I KNOW HIM THE WAY YOU DO, FROM
WATCHING HIM OVER THE YEARS AS The GOOD REPORTER AND Any FINE ANCHORMAN. WE
HAVE SEEN GREAT RESULTS. AND WHAT CUBA DID WAS RELEASED 53 POLITICAL
PRISONERS, HOWEVER SOME OF THEM HAD BEEN REARRESTED AND OTHERS ARE UNDER
HOUSE DETENTION. I CAN BALANCE MY OWN CHECK BOCK. MY PEOPLE, THE BAR INDUSTRY,
THE twenty SOMETHINGS, THE 30 SINGZS, THEY DON'T COME OUT FOR THESE ELECTIONS. I
THINK WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT PROCESS. BUT REPORTERS, ESPECIALLY NETWORK
ANCHOR PEOPLE JUST CAN'T DO IT IN THEIR WORK. NEVERTHELESS, THIS WEEK HE LEAD
THE HEARINGS IN WASHINGTON ON THIS NEW CUBA POLICY SHIFT BY THE U.S. WE HAVE
SOME FUN HERE, DON'T WE? NEVER The SHORTAGE OF ONLY IN SOUTH FLORIDA NEWS FOR
THE POWERHOUSE ROUND TABLE AND THIS WEEK IS NO EXCEPTION. AND WE WILL BE
RIGHT BACK. HE'S VERY, VERY SLICK IN HOW HE SPEAKS. 4.119. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. AND

5. THEIR CONCERNS ARE PUBLIC SAFETY, JOBS AND THE ECONOMY, THE BUDGET AND
QUALITY OF LIFE. THE KEY FOR OUR NEXT SEGMENT, TAKE Any QUICK BREAK AND WE WILL
COME RIGHT BACK. AGAIN, WHEN WE SPECIFICALLY REFORM PUBLIC SAFETY PENSION,
REDUCE CONTRIBUTION REDUCE IN ADJUSTED NUMBERS see AND HOW WE-- OUR TENSION
REFORM HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIAL. WE HAVE a PENSION DEBT RIGHT NOW OF
APPROXIMATELY 400 MILLION. ONE DAY. WE'LL COME RIGHT BACK BUT GO AHEAD. A New
LOT MORE TO LEARN ABOUT THIS. JACK SYLER IS RUNNING FOR HIS THIRD TERM AS THE
MAYOR. THE ISSUES AND THE DISPUTES AMONG ALL THREE, WILL YOU SEE RIGHT HERE
FOR THEIR FIRST AND ONLY DEBATE. AND I HAVE BEEN OUT THERE TALKING WITH THE
VOTERS. NO MENTION OF ANY CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS. WE EXTENDED IT. WE HAD Any
61 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS OF TOURISM GROWTH. THIS IS FICTION, THIS BIT ABOUT
EXPLORING AS O TOES-- OPPOSED TO FORMALLY DECLARING IT. BUT WE SHOULD BE
CAREFUL ABOUT ANY POLL THAT IS THE YEAR BEFORE. WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT Any REAL
WAY TO DO THAT. HOW IS HE NOT BEING TRUTHFUL FOR EXAMPLE, TAXES AND FEES HAVE
BEEN GOING UP UNDER THE CURRENT MAYOR WITH THE PROGRAM THE CITY HAS IN PLACE
THAT TAKES MONEY AWAY FROM US. OVER 14 MILLION VISITORS COME LAST YEAR
SPENDING ABOUT 11.5 BILLION. UP NEXT AFTER QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ABOUT THE
GOVERNOR'S OUSTER OF THE AGENCY CHIEF, FLORIDA CABINET MEMBERS GIVE RICK
SCOTT The PASS, NOT JEB BUSH, HOWEVER. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR THIS ELECTION
THAT ALL THE CANDIDATES ARE HERE AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU ALL COMING IN
THIS MORNING. WELL. AND THAT'S WHY CUBAN PEOPLE COULDN'T HAVE ECONOMIC
PROSPERITY OR FREEDOM OF SPEECH OR FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT. THE OIG REPORT
CRITICIZED A New CITY PROCESS. AND I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO HAVE ANY PROBLEM
BEING RE-ELECTED. AND THE POLLING INDICATES THAT OBAMA IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF
IT. BUT THEY KNOW. AND IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE FIRING OF GERALD BAILEY, THE WAY IT
HAPPENED, POSSIBLE VIOLATIONS OF THE SUNSHINE LAW. YOU HAVE THIS THIS JOB SINCE
2009. ALL RIGHT. WELL, ARNOLD HAS BEEN AROUND FOREVER. IN FACT, THE INSPECTOR
GENERAL'S REPORT HAS CRITICIZED THE MAYOR FOR VIOLATING STATE LAW. AND YOU'RE
GOING TO HEAR FROM a LEADING STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL HERE AT LOCAL -- THAT'S
NEXT. BUT I DON'T THINK -- SEE, UNLESS IT'S The REALLY ELABORATE TECHNIQUE FOR
SELLING Any POLICY BOOK THAT HE JUST WROTE, SURE LOOKS LIKE HE'S RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT. SO NO FAVOURITISM. I THINK THAT BECHHAM AND HIS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
LAUGH AND SAY WELL THANK YOU. IT WAS TO THE TACTFUL. THE BUCK STOPS WITH ME.
THAT IS SOMETHING, IF PEOPLE WERE AWARE OF THAT, THEY WOULD BE OUTRAGED. BUT
RICK SCOTT'S CREDIT HE RAN a PRETTY GOOD CAMPAIGN CONSIDERING. YOU WEAR a
COWBOY HAT. BRIAN WILLIAMS MADE A New TERRIBLE MISTAKE. IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. LET'S
GET THE OIG REPORT, READ IT ON AIR. THEY HAVE GIVEN EVERYTHING TO THE CUBAN
GOVERNMENT WITHOUT GETTING ANYTHING BACK. YOU GET A New CALL, YOU GET A New
CALL IT WAS Any SIMILAR KIND OF REACTION. I THINK SHE'S WRONG. AND IT IS GOOD THAT
WE HAVE HAD A New LOW RATE. I MEAN I THINK IT WAS FOR ALL GOOD INTENTIONS.
REINERSON SAY THAT YOU HAVE NOT TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT SOME THINGS IN THE
BUDGET. YOU CAN'T DO THAT JOB WITHOUT a TON OF CREDIBILITY WHICH IS SOMETHING
YOU BUILD OVER The LIFETIME. HE-- AT SOME POINT HE WOULD LIKE TO TRAVEL THERE.
YEAH, BUT JEB SAID HE WILL HAVE TO BE WILLING TO LOSE THE PRIMARY TO WIN THE
GENERAL. I LAP TO THINK THAT THAT IS a PRETTY GOOD PRI DICTION POSSIBLY ANYWAY, I
LIKE IT BEFORE WE RUN OUT OF TIME HERE, I JUST WANT TO BRIEFLY ASK YOU ALL, THIS
PAST WEEK THE MIAMI-DADE COMMISSION SAID TO THE MAYOR, HEY, GO TELL DAVID
BECHHAM TO START HIS PROFESSIONAL SOCCER TEAM OUT AT FIU. YOU CAN RUN ANYBODY
AGAINST AN INCUMBENT AND YOU GET SOME -- A New LOT OF PEOPLE WERE SAYING THAT
THIS WHOLE ISSUE OF THE HOMELESS FEEDING DEBACLE, WAS NOT GOOD BUT WHAT JACK
SILER WAS SAYING HERE IS THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN FORT LAUDERDALE ARE SAYING, THEY

6. ARE THE VOTERS AND THIS IS WHAT WE WANT. THE CRUX OF THE ARGUMENT SO FAR, THE
BIGGEST PART OF THE ARGUMENT IS THE U.S. THERE ARE A New HUNDRED WAYS THAT THE
CITY TAKES MONEY OUT OF OUR POCKETS. AND THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE
ANYTHING. I WOULD SAY THAT HELPS, SURE. WE CURRENTLY HAVE The BURDEN ON
TAXPAYERS THAT IS ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT a TYPICAL RESIDENT AND The CITY OUR SIZE
HAS TO DEAL WITH. WELL, POLITICALLY I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY. SO I COULDN'T REALLY
PREJUDGE IT AND TALK ABOUT IT HAPPENING OR NOT HAPPENING. AND IT IS NICE ALSO IN
MIAMI. IT WASN'T-- IT DIDN'T COME. BUT I DONE KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO MAKE TOO
MUCH DIFFERENCE IN REALITY THAT THE CABINET IS UNHAPPY. BUT Any GUY WITH Any
COWBOY HAT. BY THE WAY, TEMPERATURES ARE REALLY HEATING UP. HE WAS ON ANOTHER
ARMY HELICOPTER AND IT TURNS OUT IT WAS FLYING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. HE AGAIN
HAS NOT ATTRACTED COMPETITION THAT REALLY HAS MUCH OF Any CHANCE OF DOING
BETTER THAN THAT. BUT THERE IS a FORMAL PROCESS THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH. THIS
BUDGET IS INCREDIBLY LEAN, INCREDIBLY-- TO HAVE THE SECOND LOWEST PROPERTY TAX
RATE OF THE 25 LARGEST CITIES IN THE STATE SPEAKS VOLUMES. LET'S PUT IN PLACE
SOME MEASURES THAT ARE GOING TO HELP THE CUBAN PEOPLE MOVE FORWARD IN a
PROSPEROUS AND STABLE WAY. BLUE THE FUTURE HAS NEVER LOOKED BRETTER BASH--
BRIGHTER. AND HE'S WRITING WIDE-- RIDING THIS PRETTY HARD. THEY'RE NOT. YES. YOU
WATCHED THIS, WHAT DID YOU THINK? I AGREE. IS THIS SO INSIDE BASEBALL LIKE THERE IS
NO FALLOUT? I THINK THAT THERE IS SOME INTERNAL POLITICAL FALLOUT FOR SCOTT AND
TALLAHASSEE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD THE GOVERNOR SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU'RE
NEVER GOING GET FAIR VOTER TURNOUT. PEOPLE BO HAVEN'T VOTED. ALL THREE AGREE
TO THEIR ONE AND ONLY DEBATE RIGHT HERE WITH US THIS WEEK. BEACH PLACE I FEEL
COULD BE HANDLED BETTER WITH. HE DID APOLOGIZE. EARL IS A New BUSINESSMAN, HE IS
VER CRITIC OF THE MAYOR. THAT'S ONE OF THE HOT BUTTON ISSUES. WE HAVE TO HAVE
Any DO-OVER. WE NEED ATTENTION HERE. I REALLY WONDER IF SHE WANTS TO BE
GOVERNOR. YOU TOLD US THAT EARLIER. WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THE DIRECTION.
BUT HE ALSO HAD The LOT OF MONEY. BUT -- HE DIDN'T HANDLE THE SUBSTANCE OF IT
VERY WELL IN MY VIEW FOR A New WHILE. I THINK SHE'S PROBABLY MORE SUITED
PERSONALITY WISE, NOT PROFESSIONAL WISE, FOR KIND OF DOING WHAT YOU DO, OR
WHAT WE GO, IS -- I THINK AFTER SHE WINDS UP, AFTER SHE LEAVES THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S OFFICE, I COULD SEE HER AS HAVING HER OWN SHOW. DON'T HAVE-- WELL, IT'S
UNDER REVIEW RIGHT NOW. YOU MENTIONED THIS CONVERSATIONMAN WASSERMAN-
SCHULTZ, SHE WALKS SUCH The TIGHTROPE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS. HE DIDN'T GO AND
SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT? THAT REALLY SUGGESTS -- I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH MARK ON
THAT. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOUNGER VOTERS VOTE IN ALL ELECTIONS. ALL RIGHT.
WHAT ABOUT SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN KERRY TRAVELING TO HAVANA? THERE IS NO
TIME FRAME ON THAT. TODAY THE UNITED STATES WANTS TO BE A New PARTNER IN
MAKING THE LIVES OF ODE CUBANS The LITTLE BIT EASIER. AND WE BEGIN TODAY WITH
THE ONLY DEBATE YOU WILL SEE WITH ALL THREE CANDIDATES. ALL RIGHT. I WANT TO
GIVE EARL a CHANCE. SADLY, HIS STATURE AND REPUTATION HAVE BEEN BADLY DAMAGED
AND HE HAS NO ONE TO BLAME BUT HIMSELF. HOW DO YOU GET PEOPLE ENGAGED? I DON'T
KNOW. HE IS a POPULAR GUY BUT UNDER FIRE RECENTLY OVER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE NEW REGULATIONS FOR FEEDING THE HOMELESS. HE NEVER BACKS IT UP. RIGHT
HERE IS WEATHER AUTHORITY METEOROLOGIST WITH OUR SUNDAY FORECAST. NOW CHRIS,
YOU MENTIONED THIS AT THE OUTSET ALMOST. YOUR MOTHER LIKES TED CRUZ. BUT THAT
DOESN'T MASK THE FACT THAT HE'S NOT BEING TRUTHFUL. HEY, MICHAEL. AND BY DOING
SO, YOU'RE CREATING OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE PEOPLE. AND ALSO THIS WEEK, WE ARE
EXPECTING TO LEARN MORE DETAIL ABOUT WHEN AN EMBASSY MIGHT OPEN IN HAVANA
AND MORE DETAILS ON THE PROCEDURES ABOUT THAT. AND THAT KIND OF WENT AWAY
ALSO. 50 YEARS WITH THE SAME POLICY, I WAS USING THAT. AND IF HE WANTS TO COME IN

7. HERE AGAIN AND BRING THE REPORT IN, LET'S PUT THE OIG REPORT ON YOUR WEB SITE
AND TELL ME WHERE MY NAME IS MENTIONED IN THAT REPORT, OR MY CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTION. THE CRIMINAL PIPE LINES WITH THAT WAS INCREDIBLE REPORTING. THE
SUN SENTINEL PIECE WAS FANTASTIC. THE LEGISLATURE MIGHT BE Any LITTLE BIT LESS
LIKE LEIGH TO LISTEN TO HIM. THIS PROCESS STARTED BACK WITH THE PRIOR
ADMINISTRATION, JUST AS MANY OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE CITY. WE
WANT TO FAED THEM INDOORS, IN Any SAFE, SECURE MANNER, IN a CLEAN SETTING. THE
PRESIDENT OF COLUMBIA SAYING THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE STEP AND THE PRESIDENT OF
BRAZIL SAYING THIS CHANGES THE EQUATION THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE REGION. TODAY
IF YOU HEAD OUT TO THE BEACH, THERE IS A New MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS, ALSO
BOATERS, ADVISEES FOR THE KEYS. BUT I WANT TO SEE IF-- THEY HAVE EVER IN MET WITH
THE-- OR CUBA OR ANYONE THAT IS WORKING WITH IT. CHRIS BRENNAN, AL -- JACK SYL,
RERX, AS THE INCUM BEEN THE. HE HAS DISAPPEARED. WE MOW THAT. BUT I'VE GOT TO
SAY, ARE YOU Any SERIOUS CANDIDATE. a MIAMI ATTORNEY AND REPUBLICAN PARTY
ACTIVIST. IT'S A New GENERAL MALLATION-- MALAISE,. I MEAN UNLESS HE DOES
SOMETHING, MAKES SOME CATASTROPHIC ERRORS WHILE HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT,
NO MATTER, REALLY, NO MATTER HOW THAT ENDS, I THINK HE'S WELL-POSITIONED
WHETHER IT'S RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION OR RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR IN 2018. QUICK
BREAK AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. I HEARD The GREAT BIG SIGH IN MY EAR. REPUBLICANS,
THEY NEED VERY LITTLE EXCUSE TO SHOW UP AT THE POLLS. BRIAN WILLIAMS SAID A New
MILITARY HELICOPTER HE WAS IN WAS HIT BY a ROCKET PROPELLED GRENADE BACK IN
2003 IN IRAQ. MANY OF THESE RELATED TO FINANCIAL ISSUES. HERE IT IS. ILEANA ROSS
LATE THEN. THERE WASN'T ANY COMPLICATIONS. SO THE PROCESS WAS UNDER WAY. YOU
CAUGHT THESE GROUPS OFF GUARD. THIS WAS Any SUCKUP. WITHOUT SAYS HE KNOWS
HOW TO BALANCE HIS OWN CHECKBOOK. I'M INTERESTING IN WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT
PENSION REFORM. WE EXTENDED THE BID PERIOD TO ALLOW OTHER BIDDERS. FORT
LAUDERDALE'S BIG ISSUES ARE COMMON TO ALL SOUTH FLORIDA CITIES. LET ME JUMP
THERE AND SAY JACK, HERE IS THE ACCUSATION THAT SOMEHOW YOU AND YOUR FELLOW
CITY LEADERS ARE COW TO YOUING TO SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS. WE HAVE SAVED
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PENSION BENEFITS. SADLY,
BRIAN WILLIAMS NO LONGER HAS ANY JOURNALISTIC CREDIBILITY.
FORT LAUDERDALE GETS READY TO CHOOSE a MAYOR, WILL IT BE THE INCUMBENT WHOM
YOU SEE THERE OR SOMEONE NEW? WE HAVE TO HAVE A New DO-OVER. THE QUESTION IS
DID HE MISREPRESENT ANY OF THAT AND WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU Any CHANCE TO
ANSWER THAT. WHAT ABOUT THE ALLEGATION LEER THAT The BIG CAMPAIGN DONOR
SOMEHOW WOUND UP AS THE ONLY BIDDER AND THE ONE WITHOUT GOT THE CONTRACT.
IT'S SIMPLY NOT TRUE. MAY MOTHER IS NOT a REPUBLICAN, FOR THE RECORD, SHE'S
INDEPENDENT. ARE YOU NOT HERE IN THE BUDGET ENVIRONMENT BOARD LOVES WORKING
WITH US. THE LOW VOTER TURNOUT DURING THE GOVERNOR'S RACE IN NOVEMBER. NEVER
MENTIONING ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL, NEVER MEPINGED ANY OF THE ONES ON THE
COMMISSION IT WAS a PROCESS THAT WAS RUN BY CITY STAFF AND BY THE CITY
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. THEY COME HERE, GET ALL OF THESE BENEFITS AND START,. BUT WE
HAVE SO MANY POTENTIAL CANDIDATES IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT IT'S VERY
EXCITING. BEFORE WE LEAVE NEW MORNING, a PERSONAL PERFECTIVE ABOUT CREDIBILITY
AND THE TV NEWS BUSINESS. SHE WANTS TO BE GOVERNOR. SOUTH FLORIDA DEALING
WITH THAT SOUTHEAST BREEZE AS WELL. BUT I JUST-- I REALLY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO
IT I HAVE Any HARD TIME BELIEVING THIS IS REALLY GOING TO BREAK THROUGH TO THE
PUBLIC DESPITE THE GOOD REPORTING BEING DONE. I DO FEEL COMPELLED TO SAY THAT
YOU KNOW, IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAD HAPPENED WHEN BOB BUTTERWORTH WAS THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL, I AM SURE BOB BUTTERWORTH WOULD HAVE SAID THIS DOESN'T

8. SMELL RIGHT. I HONESTLY DON'T SEE HOW HE OR HIS BOSSES EVER PUT HIMSELF BACK ON
THE AIR AS NBC'S LEAD ANCHORMAN. DOW NEAT A-- NEED Any VOTE. I'M NOT SAYING
POLICYWISE IT IS THE RIGHT THING AND RUBIO IS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF IT. BUT IT
WOULD BE UNTRUTHFUL FOR ME TO DO OTHERWISE. ENTER-- ENTER INTO SOMETHING
KNOWING THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING AND THAT'S TRUE KNOWLEDGE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THE LEVEL OF SUCCESS WE'VE HAD IMPLEMENTING THE VISION OF THE NEIGHBORS,
IMPLEMENTING IN THE WHOLE BUDGET PROCESS, I DON'T KNOW IF EARL HAS BEEN TO CITY
HALL IN THE LAST SIX YEARS BUT THE WHOLE BUDGET PROCESS HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED
THROUGH a VISION-BASED PROCESS WHERE WE ACTUALLY TOOK THE PRIORITIES OF OUR
NEIGHBORS, OF OUR CITIZENS, OF THE COMMUNITY AND BUILT THAT INTO THE BUDGET.
WHAT IS THE PRACTICAL AFFECT OF IT. NOW I KNOW THOSE ARE HARSH WORDS ON MY
PART, WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO USE THEM. THAT PLAYED VERY DIFFERENTLY NATIONALLY.
WELL, THAT PROVIDES US Any VERY GOOD SEGUE INTO THE NEXT SUBJECT. CHRIS
BRENNAN IS Any POLITICAL NOVICE WHO AIMS TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO GET ENGAGED
AND INVOLVED IN GOVERNMENT. I FEEL THAT HUMILITY IS A New VIRTUE. MEA CULL
PACHLT I HAVE NOT HANDLED THIS WELL. BUT THEN TO ADD TO THAT THAT WE ARE
CONTINUING TO PROVIDE A New TOP LEVEL OF SERVICES, THE COMMENT ABOUT THE
RESERVE IS ALSO NOT ACCURATE. WHAT THEY ARE DOING T IS CRAZY. THE OIG DIDN'T EVEN
MENTION FAVOURITISM OR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS. HOW SOON WE WILL SEE CUBAN
TAKEN OFF THE STATE EXPERIENCED TERRORISM LIST. WE DID TO THE BAN FEEDING THE
HOMELESS. WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY SPENDING ON OUR COSTS
FOR PENSIONS AND LOOK AT WAYS TO REDUCE THAT. BUT THEN HE RECOVERED, I THINK.
WE'VE DONE MORE PENSION REFORM IN THE CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE THAN MOST
CITIES IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE DONE AND WE DID IT IN The WAY OF WORKING WITH OUR
EMPLOYEES INSTEAD OF IMPOSING STUFF ON OUR EMPLOYEES. VOTER TURNOUT, LESS
THAN 20%. WE GO IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. HAVE INSTITUTED AND IMPLEMENTED
PENSION REFORMS SINCE 2009. WELL, WITHOUT DOW LIKE EARLY ON. RELATIVELY FEW
CASES BUT LIKE ALL OF THE INSURANCE REGULATION, FLORIDA DEPARTMENT AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT ARE The FEW GOOD EXAMPLES TO. HE HAS A New WEB SITE WHERE HE JUST
PUBLISHES FALSE AND MISLEADING INFORMATION. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE NEWS
PRACTITIONERS THINK ABOUT VERY MUCH. ALL NEW HIRES IN NONPUBLIC SAFETY ARE
NOW PUT INTO Any DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN, NOT The DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN. I
THINK WE ACTUALLY KIND OF LOST TRACK OF WHAT'S REAL AND WHAT KEEPS THE CITY
GOING. THEY KNEW THAT TO BEGIN WITH. WE SPOTTED THEM FOR ANOTHER AGENT WHICH
NOBODY KNOWS WITH WHO HE IS. AND YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY I COMMEND CHRIS. IT WAS
PHONE BOTH IN THE HALLS PRIVATELY IN TALLAHASSEE AND OUTWARDLY. HE DOESN'T
HAVE THE SUPPORT HE WOULD HAVE HAD IN THE PAST. HEARINGS GENERATE HATE BUT
NOT MUCH LIGHT ON THE CHANGE IN U.S.-CUBA RELATIONS, WE WILL PRESS THE STATE
DEPARTMENT FOR SOME ANSWERS. AND THE PROCESS WAS DONE IN A New WAY THAT
SAVED THE TAXPAYERS MONEY BECAUSE WE REDUCED THE SIZE OF The PROJECT AND a BID,
LIMITING THE EXPOSURE AND RISK OF THE CITIZENS OF FORT LAUDERDALE. I FELT THE
WAY THAT THE CITY HANDLED THE HOMELESS THING COULD HAVE BEEN a BIT MORE
TACTFUL. I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY GENUINE BUT MIAMI-DADE POLITICIANS ARE CUT OUT
OF THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW, I THINK, JUST BY SPEAKING WITH THEM. I LIKE ALL OF THEM.
AND I BELIEVE THAT IT'S LONG EVERDUE. I AM CALLING FOR AN NIP INVESTIGATION OR I
WILL TRY TO DO IT MYSELF. IT'S JUST SUR PRISING TO ME, IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU JUST
HAVEN'T FOLLOWED WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE. WE'RE REACHING ALREADY THE UPPER 70s
IN POMPANO BEACH. YOU HAVE JUST HEARD THE MARLAL DEBATE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE
EXPANDED THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO THE HOMELESS IN The VERY COMPASSIONATE,
COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH. TAX, PROPERTY TAX IS ONE ELEMENT OF THAT AND IF YOU
LOOK AT THIS, YOU SEE HOW MUCH IT HAS GROWN. HE LAS TAKEN HIMSELF OFF THE AIR

9. WHICH IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. AND YOU KNOW, REALLY HELPING THEM SEPARATE
THEMSELVES FROM THE CUBAN GOVERNMENT AS WELL AS TAKING WAY A New PRETEXT OF
THE CUBAN GOVERNMENT HAD USED FOR YEARS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE UNITED STATES
WAS STIFLING EVERYTHING. IT HASN'T OCCURRED. LET'S GET RIGHT TO THE
INTRODUCTIONS. HE SAYS HE THINKS HE COULD DO a BETTER JOB. ASSUMING THAT THIS
REALLY HAPPENED, AND ASSUMING IT IS a CRIME AND THE SECOND ONE, WE'RE NOT QUITE
SURE IT'S REALLY The CRIME, WHAT IS HELL IS GERALD BAILEY DOING. JACK IS AN
ATTORNEY AND CAREER POLL DECISION-- POLITICIAN. THAT ACT WAS CREATED TO PROTECT
PEOPLE THAT ARE FREE, COMMUNISM, FLEEING FOR THEIR LIVES. WE'VE ALREADY DONE
THAT REFORM IT IS a SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS. UNLESS YOU DO CERTAIN THINGS, THEY
DIDN'T-- THE CITY IN MY UNDERSTANDING DIDN'T SAY WE'RE IF THE GOING TO FEED-- I
CAN'T FEED THE HOMELESS BUT YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. COMING
UP NEXT, MY PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE ABOUT NBC'S BRIAN WILLIAMS AND THE VERY
FRAGILE NATURE OF TAKE The LOOK AT THIS PICTURE POSTCARD. FOLLOWING THIS WEEK'S
CUBA POLICY DISCUSSION ON CAPITOL HILL, WE HAVE DETAILS ABOUT a SECOND ROUND
OF DIPLOMATIC MEETINGS. WE'RE RECOGNIZED REPEATEDLY. WE TALK ABOUT IT ON THIS
PROGRAM ALL THE TIME. BECAUSE THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT EVERY CITY, MUNICI PATE IN
FLORIDA IS GRAPPLING WITH AND IN FORT LAUDERDALE, THERE HAS BEEN IF I
UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, SOME PENSION REFORM IN CONTRIBUTION LEVELS AND THE
CALCULATIONS THAT WAY. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. ONE THE
OTHER BIG TOPICS IN THE ONLY HERE BUT GRAPPLING WITH DOING DEVELOPMENT,
PROPERLY AND FAIRLY. IT'S DONE THAT IN OTHER CITIES ACROSS THE NATION. WELL,
CHARLIE CRIST MIGHT HAVE, HE LOST OR I SHOULD SAY RICK SCOTT WON BY 66,000 VOTES
STATEWIDE. IF ANY ONE OF THE LAP DOG FOUR OF THE POWER STRUCTURE T THE FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT AGENCY EL IS DOM TAKES ON BIG PUBLIC
CORRUPTION CASESMENT I HAVE NOT SEEN IT REALLY DO ITS JOB ENFORCING THE LAW
UNTIL THEY ARE BASICALLY ASKED OR TOLD TO DO IT OR BUST SOMEONE PETTY. OUR TIME
IS UP HERE BUT WE CAN CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION ON-LINE ABOUT ANY TOPIC YOU
LIKE. WE NEED TO HAVE a BUDGET THAT IS GEARED TOWARD RESIDENTS AND TOURISTS,
NOT THE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS, DEVELOPERS AND LOBBYISTS. BUT WORK WITH IT.
YOU LOOK AT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE REALLY MAINTAINED The VERY LEAN, EFFICIENT
BUDGET. AND ALSO THE FACT THAT BAILEY SAYS AT ONE POINT THE GOVERNOR'S COUNSEL
ASKED HIM TO NAME THE ORANGE COUNTY CLERK OF COURTS AS Any SUSPECT IN AN FDLE
INVESTIGATION AND BAILEY REFUSED BECAUSE SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. WE
HAVE NOT YET TACKLED THAT ISSUE. THAT IN ORDER TO SAVE THE CUBAN ADJUSTMENT
ACT, IT NEEDS TO BE AMENDED OR CHANGED BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH ABUSE, OUR
GOVERNMENT, THE UNITED STATES IS SUCH The GENEROUS COUNTRY. AND SOME OF THE
CUBAN AMERICAN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE SAYING MAYBE SOME CHANGES SHOULD
BE MADE IN THE CUBAN ADJUSTMENT ACT BECAUSE OF SOME OF WHAT WAS -- FOR THE
FIRST TIME EVER, THEY ARE CALLING IN TO QUESTION WHAT WOULD DRY FOOT ON THE
CUBAN ADJUSTMENT ACT, THAT'S REALLY UNHEARD OF. THERE ARE THREE CABINET
MEMBERS AND THE GOVERNOR. SO BY TAKING WAY THAT PRETEXT, WE THINK WE CAN GET
The HUGE STEP FORWARD AND WE'VE GOTTEN CALLS FROM THE REST OF THE REGION THAT
SAYS THE SAME. WHAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT COULD BE SOME PRETTY-- PRETTY CONFUSING CALCULATIONS IN CITY
GOVERNMENT. ANOTHER LIVE LOOK OUT IN KEY WEST AND HERE'S Any LOOK AT THE HIGH
FOR TODAY, UPPER 70s, TOMORROW 80 DEGREES WITH The CHANCE OF SCATTER SHOD
PERCENT. I MEAN OUR INDUSTRY IS TOURISM. HE HAS HAD A New WEB SITE FOR THE PAST
SEVEN YEARS, THIRD TIME RUNNING FOR MAYOR. AND WITH FREEDOM OF SPEECH. WE
ALSO HAVE THE ISSUE OF RIVER FRONT BEACH PLACE AND The LITTLE BIT OF
OVERDEVELOPMENT. IT'S JUST SIMPLY NOT Any TRUE STATEMENT. DO YOU AGREE THAT

10. THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATIONS HAD GIVEN US TOO MUCH -- WELL, WHAT WE ARE DOING
NOW IS JUST HAVING DISCUSSIONS ABOUT ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS. YOU HAVE 11
MILLION VOTERS AND YOU WIN BY ONE -- 1.08 PERCENTAGE. WHEN YOU'VE GOT LESS THAN
20%. YOU HAVE BEEN RE-ELECTED Any COUPLE OF TIMES. THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS IT
HAPPENED. THAT IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE. BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE AT SOME
POINT DOWN THE ROAD TOUGH DECISIONS ON HOW TO KEEP THE PENSION REFORM FROM
BANKRUPTING OUR CITY. HOWEVER, WE HAVE AN EXTREMELY HIGH VALUE OF CITY
PROPERTY. NOTHING HAS BEEN HAPPENING AND IT WAS a HAIL MARY AND COME BACK.
THANK YOU. THEY CAN'T GET THEIR ARMS AROUND IT. BEACH RESTORATION, HUGE
PRIORITY. BUT ALSO EAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE. WHY, OR WHAT DID MAYOR SILER AND
THE CITY DO THAT WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY. FIRST OF ALL T IS Any WONDERFUL JOB,
PROBABLY THE MOST REWARDING I HAVE HAD IN PUBLIC SERVICE AND CERTAINLY
SOMETHING I WANT TO CONTINUE TO DO. THERE IS NO CRITICISM OF MAYOR SILER. WE'RE
ABLE TO DO THE THINGS WE'RE ABLE TO DO. WE NEED TO BRING IN EXPERTS AND
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE BUDGET ADVISE RE BOARD WHO HAVE GIVEN
RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO REDUCE THE PENSION LIABILITY. AND HE HAD BY ALL
ACCOUNTS IS Any BANG UP SPEECH IN DETROIT THAT HAS TO BE The POWERFUL SIGN FOR
HIM. I THINK THE BIGGER STORY IS THE VOTER APATHY. AND RIGHT NOW TEMPERATURES IS
IN THE MID 70s ACROSS THE AREA. THERE IS PROBABLY LITTLE GAIN, THEY ARE ALL
REPUBLICANS FROM CONTINUING TO NOTHING THIS HORSE. I WISH COY TALK AS
ELOQUENTLY AS HE CAN. I WOULD SURROUND MYSELF WITH PEOPLE THAT KNOW BETTER
THAN ME. WHAT HE MEANS BY THAT IS THAT A New PERSON NEEDS TO BE AUTHENTIC. AND
IT'S GROWING LARGER EVERY YEAR. AND HELPING THEM ECONOMICALLY. WELL, THAT
DOESN'T SEEM RADICAL OR OUT THERE TO ME. AND HERE IS HOW YOU CAN REACH US. AND
THE ELECTION IS FEBRUARY 10th. THAT HAVEN'T VOTED IN The MARLAL ELECTION.
INVESTORS, DREAMERS, PEOPLE THAT COME TO OUR GREAT UNIVERSITIES, ALL THESE
PEOPLE SHOULD BE WELCOME IN OUR COUNTRY AND THE UNWRITTEN CONTRACT OUGHT
TO BE EMBRACE OUR VALUES, AND YOU CAN PURSUE YOUR DREAMS IN THIS GREAT
COUNTRY. OKAY. THERE ARE THINGS WE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER. YOU KNOW, IN THAT
SPEECH IN DETROIT, FORMER GOFF FERR BUSH DID TALK ABOUT IMMIGRATION POLICY.
AND THANKLY, IT -- MAYORRAL DEBATE, IT SEEMS JACK SILER HAS a VERY GOOD CHANCE OF
BEING RE-ELECTED, WHAT DO YOU THINK? VERY GOOD CHANCE OF BEING RE-ELECTED
WITH AN OVERWHELMING MARGIN. LIKE HE HAS a COUPLE OF ISSUES THAT AREN'T
COMPLETELY IN LOCK STEP WITH THE CONSERVATIVE PART OF THE GOP. THAT HAPPENED,
HOW COULD HE NOT HAVE REPORT ROED THAT AT THE TIME, SO HE'S WAITING WHEN HE IS
INVITED TO RESUME-- RESIGN AND NOW HE IS MAKING THOSE ACCUSATION, THAT LOOKS
REALLY BAD ON HIM. THEN THE BIDDER THAT GOT IT WHO HAPPENED TO HAVE DONATED I
THINK TO EVERYBODY'S CAMPAIGN GETS IN THE PROCESS, WE THEN REDUCE THE SIZE OF
HIS CONTRACT. YOU DO? WITHIN YEAH, I-- ALL SIGNS ARE THAT RUBIO IS RUNNING. AND
PROBABLY PUT AN END TO THAT. YOU WOULD THINK THAT AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF
PUBLISHING THIS STUFF SOMEONE FROM THE MEDIA WOULD PICK IT UP. YOU WANT THE
JOB AGAIN, WHY SHOULD YOU GET IT. HE'S The BARTENDER AT FORMER CITY PARKS
EMPLOYEE. WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE AND HOW WOULD YOU REFORM PENSION. IT IS LIKE
THE OPRAH SHOW. BUT MARK, JUST AS THE FORMER COCOA IN TALLAHASSEE, EXPLAIN--
EXPLAIN THAT THE CABINET HAS AN UNUSUAL SYSTEM. BUT TONY TO ASK YOU TO
COMMENT ON Any COMPETITORS EDITORIAL THIS MORNING, "MIAMI HERALD" LEAD
EDITORIAL SUNDAY THE HEADLINE TOO SMELLY TO IGNORE. I DON'T THINK PEOPLE IN THE
LEGISLATURE LIKED THAT. CHRIS, I FEEL COMPELLED TO ASK YOU, I UNDERSTAND, IN
PREVIOUS MAYORRAL DEBATES, FORUMS THAT YOU HAVE NOT SHOWN UP, WE ARE VERY
GLAD THAT YOU ARE HERE THIS MORNING. WE GOT AHEAD OF THE CURB. HE HOLDS THE
REVENUE MANUAL UP, LET'S GO TO THE REVENUE MANUAL. AND WE GIVE SO MUCH OF

11. THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE. I JUST THINK YOU HAVE TO COME TO CITY
HALL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON. NOT JUST IN -- APATHY IS WINNING AND IF
SOMEONE LIKE ME DOESN'T SHOW UP LOOKING LIKE THIS AND PULLING IN PEOPLE THAT
WOULD RATHER NOT COME OUT TO THE POLLS AND SAYING HEY, THIS IS IMPORTANT
STUFF. GOOD MOVRJT SO GLAD YOU COULD JOIN US ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY MORNING.
HE IS DOING VERY WELL AS The PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. I MEAN I THINK THERE ARE The
LOT OF PEOPLE WHO THINK HE DIDN'T HANDLE THE OPTICS OF THAT VERY WELL.
UNFORTUNATELY, I THINK PEOPLE JUST DON'T CARE AND THEY'RE NOT THAT AWARE OF
THIS KIND OF THING. ANTHONY MANN SAY POLITICAL REPORTER FOR THE SUN SENTINEL
AND WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE HIM BACK WITH US AS WELL. YOU KNOW, THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO BALANCE a CHECKBOOK VERY WELL. NO, I AM NOT
VERY DIPLOMATIC. AMEN. WE HAD ONE BIDDER. AND AS SHE SAID, WE CERTAINLY SAW
THAT IN BROWARD COUNTY, a DEMOCRATIC COUNTY, MIAMI-DADE, HEAVILY DEMOCRATIC
COUNTY. OUR RESERVES ARE SOLID. WE HAVE Any 4.119 MILLAGE RATE, THE LOWEST-- WE
HAVE The 34.5% UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WHICH IS THE LOW NEST SOUTH FLORIDA DCH 4.5%.
THIS IS OUR KEY WEST CAM AND DID IS Any GLORIOUS DAY THERE. LET'S ALSO LOOK,
GERALD BAILEY WAS THE TOP COP IN THE STATE. I BELIEVE THAT COULD ACTUALLY EVEN
BE LOWER. AND HE COMES OUT AHEAD NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. ONE OF SOUTH
FLORIDA'S SIGNATURE CITIES IS ABOUT TO CHOOSE Any NEW MAYOR. THE PROBLEM THAT
WE HAVE IS THAT THE MAYOR -- HOW COULD YOU KEEP SERVICES IF THE TAX RATE WERE
LOWER? WE NEED TO REPRIORITIZE OUR BUDGET. VUTLY NONE, BUT I WILL ADMIT THAT I'M
Any HUMBLE PERSON. I'M AFRAID THAT WILL HAVE TO BE THE LAST WORD. AND I THINK
THEY'RE GOING TO START HAVING SOME SORT OF NOMINATING COMMITTEE FOR THE NEW
DEPARTMENT HEADS. -- CHECKBOOK. THIS GUY HAS Any GOOD HEART AND HE MEANS WELL
AND HE'S GOT THE DRIVE TO BRING Any YOUNGER DROUD TO THE HOLDS-- POLLS. I
COMMEND HIM TO BE IN THE FUTURE AND LOOK FORWARD TO HIM BEING IN FUTURE
RACES. BUT I UNDERSTAND WHEN ENFORCING THESE THAT ABOUT AN ACCUMULATION OF
HOMELESS IN A New CERTAIN LOCATION, RATHER THAN FIGURE OUT YOUR ORDINANCES
AND WAIT TEN MONTHS TO ENFORCE THEM WITHOUT APPROACHING THESE GROUPS,
WHICH THE CITY DID NOT, WE DROPPED THE BALL ON THAT ONE. SO AS THEY SAY, LET'S
GET READY TO RUMBLE. IN ANY MUNICI CALL ELECTIONS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THAT'S
SUPERIMPORTANT. ABSOLUTELY. YOU HAVE BEEN CRITICAL WITH WHAT IS GOING ON WITH
THE AQUATIC COMPLEX AND DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF DEVELOPMENT AROUND THE
CITY. TO THE FOR ECONOMIC IMMIGRANTS WHICH OTHERWISE WAS IS HAS TO DO IT FOR
EVERYBODY ELSE. HOW IS THAT LAW NOT FOLLOWED IN THIS CASE? WELL, IN THE CASE OF
THE AQUATIC CENTER, MAYOR SILER HAD RECONSTRUCTED a BID PROCESS SO THAT
FORMER CAMPAIGN DONORS OF HIS WOULD BE THE ONLY FIRM BIDDING ON THE PROTECT--
PROJECT AT THE AQUATIC CENTER. WHICH IS FEEDING THE HOMELESS. BUT WE ARE SURE
THINKING ABOUT THIS THIS WEEK AFTER LEARN TAG NBA KRE BRIAN WILLIAMS
MISREMEMBERED AN INCIDENT IN IRAQ, THAT IS HIS TERM, MISREMEMBERED WHICH IS a
EUPHEMISTIC WAY OF SAYING HE LIED, DIDN'T TELL THE TRUTH, EM BELL SHALLED AN
INCIDENT TO MAKE HIMSELF LOOK GOOD. YOU PUT HER ON THE SPOT. HE WON I THINK IT
WAS 75% OF THE VOTE THREE YEARS AGO. EXCUSE ME, LET ME JUMP IN AND SAY WE'LL GET
INTO SOME PARTICULAR ISSUES. YOU DON'T PICK IT UP BECAUSE IT IS NOT TRUE. I LOOIC
THAT VERY MUCH. I MEAN IT'S SIMPLY a FALSE STATEMENT. FAIR ENOUGH. YOU KNOW, I
DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THERE
