Miami-Dade's elections department paid for a cartoon mascot. It's the supervisor

Alina Garcia, Miami-Dade’s elections supervisor , now has a cartoon avatar who stars in a tax-funded coloring book about democracy and, this fall, looked out from lapel pins that were distributed to poll workers. Like Garcia, “Super Ali” has long blonde hair, but Super Ali has a red cape and a star-spangled ballot box for a body. That cartoon ballot box has a seal with Garcia’s name on it. “These are great tools for engagement with our youngest citizens, to create a voting culture,” Elections spokesperson Juan Mendieta said of the Super Ali swag the Elections Department is funding. In August, the Elections Department paid $1,160 for 1,000 of the Super Ali pins. The next month, the department paid $1,560 for 1,500 “Guardians of Democracy” coloring books, which have Garcia’s name and Super Ali on the cover. Mendieta provided invoices for the purchases at the Miami Herald’s request this week. Inside the coloring book, there are voters, candidates and ballot boxes to color, plus a crossword and word search that both have “Alina Garcia” as clues. Garcia, a Republican, is Miami-Dade’s first elected supervisor of elections — a post that used to be a department head under the county’s mayor.

Broward County considers temporary data center ban

(The Center Square) –Broward County commissioners are considering a yearlong pause on large-scale data center development in unincorporated areas while the county evaluates regulations addressing infrastructure, environmental and land use concerns. Commissioners held the first of two required public hearings Tuesday on the proposed moratorium. No action was taken. The next public hearing is scheduled for Dec. 8. The proposal would pause acceptance and processing of development applications while the county determines whether its existing regulations adequately address the facilities’ demands on infrastructure and compatibility with surrounding land uses. The county describes large-scale data centers as facilities with an anticipated monthly peak electrical load of at least 50 megawatts. The moratorium would remain in effect for one year or until amendments to the county’s code of ordinances become effective, whichever occurs first. Broward resident Chris Nelson said during the hearing that his opposition to data centers goes beyond concerns about noise pollution and environmental impacts. “It’s really what do these things represent?” Nelson said. “We don’t want AI coming in and supplanting the human experience and taking our jobs away.” He said the argument that data centers would be local job creators does not hold water. “These things don’t bring
