Broward schools chief makes final recommendation to close 10 schools

The number of Broward schools recommended for closure likely will remain at 10, as most School Board members showed no interest in a proposal to increase the list to 26. Superintendent Howard Hepburn issued his final recommendations on Thursday for which schools should close during the 2027-28 school year due to declining enrollment. The list was based on a discussion the School Board had during a workshop on Wednesday.

‘We're going to be underwater': What Florida's property tax cut means for flooding

Florida voters resoundingly decided to slash their own property taxes on election day, sending shockwaves through the local governments who now have to figure out which services to cut. On the potential chopping block: the millions (and billions) of flooding projects that are sorely needed in soggy South Florida. At the Southeast Florida Climate Compact’s annual summit this week, elected officials from Palm Beach County to the Keys openly worried about what this new mandate means for the projects they’ve been advocating for. On stage, Broward County Commission Steve Geller put it bluntly. “I advise people to move to another state because Florida is going to be a hellhole,” he told the crowd. “We’re going to be underwater.” READ NEXT: Voters said yes to Amendment 3 tax cut. What comes next for Miami-Dade, cities? Florida’s new constitutional amendment, which passed with 62% approval, raised the homestead exemption from property taxes from $50,000 to $250,000 by 2028. It’s a severe blow for local governments that rely on property taxes as the foundation of their budgets. Broward County could lose $333 million of its budget by 2028, according to an estimate from flood consultant firm Brizaga. Miami-Dade estimates it would lose $700

Broward school closures could expand from 10 to 26 under proposal

A plan to close 10 low-enrolled Broward schools next year has received support from a district boundary committee, but now a new proposal could raise that number to as many as 26. The School Board is scheduled to hold a workshop Wednesday to discuss which schools to shut down as part of its “Redefining Broward County Schools” initiative, and a final vote is currently planned for December. Since August, the number of schools on the closure list has remained 10.

Three Florida cities among Orkin's 'rattiest cities in 2026' ranking

Several Florida cities have earned a spot on a list they probably won’t be bragging about. Three major Florida cities all made Orkin’s 2026 ranking of the 50 “rattiest” cities in the U.S., based on new residential rodent treatments recorded between Aug. 9, 2025, and Aug. 9, 2026. "There’s no single type of city or climate that’s immune to rodent pressure," said Dr. Shannon Sked, National Technical Director at Orkin, in the study. "Rats and mice are highly adaptable and can thrive in communities across the country wherever they can find food, water and shelter." Here's where Florida ranks among the "rattiest cities" in the U.S. for 2026. Where did Florida cities rank in Orkin's list of the rattiest cities? Tampa, Miami and Orlando are among Orkin’s 50 “rattiest” cities for 2026, a ranking based on the company’s residential rodent treatment data. Tampa - 22 Miami - 26 Orlando - 32 What city has the most rats in the U.S.? Los Angeles still holds the title of "rattiest city" for the second year in a row. "Los Angeles’ year-round mild weather, dense neighborhoods and abundant access to food, water and shelter create conditions where rats and mice can thrive," Orkin

A Broward attorney misappropriated $92,000 in divorce funds, Florida Bar says

After receiving $190,000 intended to go to a client’s ex-husband, a Lauderhill attorney spent over $92,000 on a personal loan and leaf gutters, among other things, according to a Florida Bar auditor. That audit helped the state Supreme Court approve the Bar’s petition for an emergency suspension of Kenneth Mair . Mair’s suspension officially begins Nov. 15. Mair answered neither an email nor a text message from the Miami Herald. A call to his number got no answer, and his voicemail box was full. The Bar petition says Mair ghosted his client while spending money intended for her ex-husband and “failed to fully comply” with a subpoena for records from a trust account.

‘Impassable' flooding from pounding rain is swamping South Florida suburbs

Heavy rain this week has turned parts of Broward County into a watery maze, swallowing roadways, stranding cars in flooded parking lots and sending water into homes and buildings as people waded through deep floodwaters. Over the past four days the highest rainfall totaled about 13 to 15 inches between Weston and Sunrise, George Rizzuto, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Miami, said Wednesday. But there’s good news coming: The rain will taper off Wednesday afternoon, and drier air and sunny skies are moving in Thursday through the weekend, he said. Other parts of Florida, including Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, have been hit with 15 to 20 inches of rain that has flooded roads and submerged cars. The torrent neared the state’s single-day rainfall record, according to ABC News. According to the Florida Today news site on the Space Coast, National Weather Service officials described the flooding as a “one-in-1,000-year event .” Brevard County sheriff’s deputies helped more than 100 people caught in rising waters while driving to work or running errands, according to the news outlet.

Miami-Dade Hispanics opt for Donalds, but white, Black voters flip county blue

Miami-Dade swung left and turned blue again for the first time since the 2020 midterm elections with voters from majority Black and white neighborhoods powering wins in the county for Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Jolly and U.S. Senate candidate Angie Nixon. Similar to the last two election cycles, voters in Hispanic-majority precincts in the county remained loyal to the GOP, albeit with lesser support. The Miami Herald excluded precincts with fewer than 100 tallied votes from its analysis. Despite their strong showings in Miami-Dade, both Democratic candidates are projected to lose statewide. Republican gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds will become the state’s first Black governor. As of 10.30 PM, he won roughly half the states votes — a little more than 1 percent point more than Jolly. But when it comes to Miami-Dade’s 124 majority Black neighborhoods, Donalds didn’t come close to the Democrats. Jolly won those precincts by about 70 percentage points. Donalds won a little less than 52% of the votes from Hispanic-majority neighborhoods in Miami-Dade — roughly 5 percent points more than Jolly. His performance is a far cry from 2022, when Gov. Ron DeSantis decisively won Miami-Dade, getting roughly 65% of the vote in majority Hispanic precincts.

Báez-Geller defeats Basabe in Florida House race, returns to public office

Democrat Lucia Báez-Geller defeated incumbent Republican Fabián Basabe for Florida House District 106, returning to elected office after serving on the Miami-Dade County School Board. Báez-Geller taught at Miami Beach Senior High School for 15 years before entering elected public service. “I am honored that our community has once again trusted me to serve, and I am so grateful to my family, friends, volunteers, and supporters,” Báez-Geller said in a statement. “As a mother and an educator, I know how much families are counting on us. I’m proud to return to public service and continue the work that brought me into the classroom and onto the School Board.” Basabe had numerous confrontations outside a Miami Beach polling location during early voting, squaring off with campaign volunteers, a police officer and even the Miami-Dade mayor, records and videos show. Florida House District 106 covers coastal communities in northeastern Miami-Dade County, including Miami Beach, Surfside, Sunny Isles Beach and Aventura.
