It has been reported that soccer star David Beckhams proposed professional
soccer team, Miami Beckham United, is in talks with the Miami-Dade County to
purchase county-owned land at market value for a 25,000 seat stadium in
Overtown. The stadium construction costs would be funded privately without
public dollars, but would not include a parking garage. Critics of the proposed
soccer stadium are concerned about the lack of parking, while stadium proponents
say that public transportation would provide sufficient access to the stadium.
Do you support or oppose a privately funded Soccer stadium

on county-owned land in Overtown?

The Frost Museum of Science under development at Museum Park, was

originally proposed as a $275 million public-private partnership with $165
million coming from Miami-Dade County and $110 million to be raised from the
private sector. The project has experienced a funding shortfall due to a failure
to meet the private fundraising goal. Miami-Dade County, which has already
invested $165 Million in the project as promised, recently approved an
additional $49 million county bailout to finish the project by the end of 2016.
Do you support or oppose the decision by Miami-Dade County to provide an additional

$49 million bailout in order to complete construction of the Frost Science Museum?

Traffic congestion in Miami-Dade County has been a growing

concern in recent years and residents are seeking solutions. Some
possible traffic remedies include the expansion of mass transit
systems like MetroRail, MetroMover, MetroBus and TriRail or
increasing the capacity of major roadways, such as the Dolphin
and Palmetto Expressways, I-95, and the Turnpike.
Do you believe that enough is currently being done by Miami-Dade County

leaders to address traffic congestion in Miami-Dade County?

Miami-Dade County includes many coastal municipalities known to be on the

frontlines in the battle against rising sea-levels. Most scientists say that the
rate of sea-level rise is accelerating steadily and that the intrusion of salt
water into fresh water aquifers threatens to contaminate South Floridas
drinking water supply. Elevated roadways, pumping systems, and naturebased infrastructure are among some of the proposed solutions to address
sea-level rise related issues like flooding and coastal erosion.
Do you believe that sea-level rise is an important issue in Miami-Dade County?

Recently Miami-Dade County discovered above normal levels of tritium in

Biscayne Bay, near Florida Power & Light's cooling canals at Turkey Point.
Tritium is not considered a health risk and is being used by scientists to track
the location of cooling canal water. The findings indicate other pollutants,
including ammonia, phosphorus and super salty water, may be leaking into
Biscayne Bay and could damage marine life. The State of Florida fears
increased underground salt concentrations resulting from the leaking canals
could threaten the Biscayne Aquifer, Miami-Dade Countys primary source
of drinking water. FPL says it is working with the State and has plans to
address the situation and that there is no current threat to public health.
