Our If I Were Mayor project continues as we bring your ideas to the mayors themselves.

We spoke with Miami mayor TomásRegalado who won a second term last November.

Mayor Regalado responds to your ideas to expand park space and help undocumented immigrants. He also explains why the City is pursuing a more aggressive approach to the homeless and what Miami police have done in response to a federal Department of Justice report last summer finding that they engage in a pattern of using "unnecessary force."
