Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections
Alina Garcia has offered up her home as collateral to make sure her longtime friend and associate David Rivera does not have to immediately report to prison following his conviction on various crimes relating with his dealings with former Venezuelan socialist president Nicolas Maduro.

We also looked at why it seems harder than ever in South Florida to build a restaurant that just survives, let alone thrives. It’s not just inflation – it’s also you. We asked what we can do this Thanksgiving and holiday season to make sure our neighbors here get enough to eat.
