Hialeah mayor's aide campaigning for councilman was on vacation, city says

A Hialeah city employee who works as a field aide in the mayor’s office is campaigning for interim City Council member Luis Gonzalez at an early voting site on her own time while she’s on vacation, the city said Thursday. Camila Kaemmer, who earns an annual salary of $48,000 as an aide in the Division of Constituent Services, is on vacation from Oct. 22 through Nov. 4, covering nearly the entire early voting period, according to records the city provided to the Miami Herald. On Wednesday, the Herald observed Kaemmer carrying Gonzalez campaign signs and approaching voters in Spanish to urge them to support him in the election at the John F. Kennedy Library, an early voting location. “Are you a Hialeah resident? Vote for Luis Gonzalez, number 143,” Kaemmer told voters as she handed out campaign flyers. The Herald sought comment from city officials about her campaign activity before the story was published, but received no response. The Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust has advised county and municipal employees to restrict their political campaign activities to hours when they are off duty. And Florida law prohibits candidates from using state, county, municipal or district employees’ services during

‘Really gross': Miami Beach hopes to restore a waterway so filthy it's been closed for years

North Beach’s Park View Island neighborhood is a tucked-away coastal gem — but its defining canal has been plagued by poop for years. A new cleanup pilot might finally get people safely back in the water. “People live on the water,” Miami Beach Commissioner Alex Fernandez said. “They pay to be on the water, yet they can’t touch the water.” Park View Canal is located in a park at 73rd Street and Dickens Avenue within the Tatum Waterway. The canal has been under a “no contact advisory” for its public kayak launch and surrounding waters since March 2020. But the city of Miami Beach has hopes that the introduction of tiny oxygenated bubbles, which are around 2,500 times smaller than a grain of salt, may be the answer to fecal contamination in the waterway. The technology is a cleanup machine that can inject bubbles into bodies of water that stay suspended rather than rising to the surface and bursting. The bubbles deliver oxygen and other gases that naturally purify water and eliminate bad bacteria. This month, the Miami Beach City Commission approved a more than $1 million purchase of nanobubble technology from Moleaer Inc. to restore the Park View Canal.

No sidewalk riding: Miami passes new e-bike, scooter rules.

The city of Miami is cracking down on e-bikes and motorized scooters, setting new speed limits, age minimums and sidewalk rules. Why it matters: Miami is the latest city in Miami-Dade County to regulate motorized micromobility vehicles, including e-bikes and scooters, due to pedestrian safety concerns. In 2024, Key Biscayne banned micromobility devices following the death of a pedestrian. In the past year, Miami Beach , Doral and Sunny Isles Beach passed their own rules governing helmet use, age minimums and sidewalk riding. This summer , the University of Miami also banned e-bikes and e-scooters from its Coral Gables campus. The latest: Miami commissioners approved new rules Oct. 22 that ban riders younger than 16 years old, prohibit riding on sidewalks except when parking and set a 20-mph speed limit ( Some e-bikes go as fast as 28 mph). Riders can't park on sidewalks except in designated areas and must carry ID. Violators could face a $100 fine. Miami Police Chief Edwin Lopez says officers will try educating the public first, but will turn to fines as a "last resort" if needed, according to Local 10 . Yes, but: Cities need Miami-Dade approval to restrict e-bikes and scooters on county-owned
