I am writing to express how concerned I am that your journal’s Nancy Lee could give an outstanding endorsement to Daniella Levine Cava in “All In for the Runoff” (September 2020). Levine Cava is the self-proclaimed “water warrior,” yet with her in the county commission, both Biscayne Bay and Florida Bay have experienced major seagrass die-off events and last month Biscayne Bay had a fish kill. At the county budget meeting this past week she orchestrated scripted callers from an organization she founded to pitch police defunding. She is our only commissioner in the country that supports defunding the police. After the violent events in Portland, Oregon, that include an angry mob attacking the residence of the mayor, how could anyone that cares about our community endorse someone with such poor judgement? She would set out county backwards several decades. As a lifelong resident of Miami-Dade County, the article is extremely concerning.

No Patience for Poor Policing
Regarding police brutality and John Dorschner’s “Testing the Thin Blue Line” (September 2020), policy, shmolicy. Training, shmaining. You can’t train character or depend on a policy book to stop someone with a callous heart and an urge to hurt. You have to screen him out of the process at the start, and if he slips through it anyway, you have to be able to throw him out.

“I am tired of China”
I feel so sorry people like Nancy Lee, using Biscayne Times to politicize against Trump (“Fear and Trembling in the COVID Era,” August 2020).
Let me tell you, if you don’t see he has a life greater than anybody to live, and that he is sacrificing it because he is a real patriot, then I don’t know what you are even going to be able to buy in Amazon and those places.
I am tired of China clothes, shoes, cars and especially MEDICINE, we have been intoxicated for years with all the genetic medicine they sell us at the drug store because it comes from China and it has been giving us cancer for a very long time.
Trump is a great person and a great human being, and he wants better for Americans, and I am totally sure Biden is not going to be our president. He would be commander-in-ship and his socialism ideas are going to take us to a for-sure communism.
Anyways open your eyes and read all the executive orders and everything Donald has done for this country before you put it in your Biscayne Bay paper.
It seems like a political paper, not BISCAYNE NEWS!!!

Once Upon a Time in an Issue Long, Long Ago
I just found this article by Gaspar González on the internet: “The House That Flipper Built” (March 2012). It was fantastic!
I’ve been an avid Ivan Tors fan for many years – since I was a kid, and I’m now 67 years old. I’ve looked all over the web for more information about the Ivan Tors Studios in North Miami, and your article had it all! I thank you very much for this. It was amazing and very thorough!
I was raised in North Miami Beach. My dad took us kids on airboat rides at Oleta River State Park. So many memories!
