Another day another story...



This time I'm at the Dade County Courthouse covering a case in which Judge Jeri Beth Cohen came close to ruling in favor of Miami-Dade County's massive Megaplan, the nearly $3 billion public works project that will build a new $500 million home for the Marlins, among other things. The owner of a large car dealership in Miami, Norman Braman sued to stop the deal, arguing that any attempt to use public money to fund a private enterprise, like the Marlins, should go to a vote by the people. Last week, in a similar case, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that no referendum is needed.

Good job on the photos... try building a photo gallery on Flickr or elsewhere ... or use these in Soundslides when we do that in class.

Don't wait to catch up on the blog... you should be at 25 posts by Tuesday night, Oct. 7.
