South Florida U.S. Attorney Reding Quiñones abruptly resigns. What's next?

Jason Reding Quiñones resigned Friday as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, ending a tenure marked by turmoil within the Miami-based federal prosecutor’s office and controversy over its involvement in an investigation targeting perceived enemies of President Donald Trump. Reding Quiñones offered no explanation for his abrupt resignation, which came just three days after midterm elections in which Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate. He did not respond to text messages seeking comment. His resignation comes amid growing concern within Miami’s legal community over the politics surrounding the office, the departure of experienced prosecutors and the erosion of its traditional independence from political influence. Dan Gelber, a former federal prosecutor and Miami Beach mayor whose law firm represents former CIA Director John Brennan in an investigation involving the office, offered a stark assessment. “It’s been terrible to watch what’s happened to this office,” Gelber said. “Their morale is underwater. Their institutional expertise has been depleted.” Gelber, who spent about a decade as a federal prosecutor in Miami, recalled an office that handled some of the nation’s most consequential drug trafficking, healthcare fraud and foreign corruption cases. He expressed hope that new leadership could restore its

Miami Beach rejects deal to extend luxury offices’ lease on city land until 2132

Miami Beach voters rejected by a landslide a deal that would have allowed an ultra-luxury South Beach office building to extend its lease with the city into the next century. Nearly 63% of Miami Beach voters cast ballots Tuesday against the referendum, which would have given developer RK Rivani LLC the option to extend its lease for the city-owned land beneath the office building up to 40 additional years, or until 2132. It would have also cleared the way for $50 million worth of upgrades, including more office space, a restaurant and rooftop padel courts. The Rivani office building, where Playboy has its headquarters, is located at 1691 Michigan Ave., just off Lincoln Road.

OPINION: Over a Million Florida Homes Have No Insurance — The Property Tax Cut Could Change That

Florida just handed homeowners a real win. Amendment 3 passed on November 3 with 62% of the vote, expanding the homestead exemption from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028. For the average Broward County homeowner, that’s roughly $1,300 back in their pocket next year. By 2028, estimates run between $2,300 and $2,700 depending on where you live. — Broward County Property Appraiser Marty Kiar (NBC Miami, 2026); Craig Kincheloe (Bay News 9, 2026)

King tides, rain are flooding South Florida. What are we doing about it?

Historic, chart-topping king tides submerged South Florida last week, flooding more places deeper and longer than they’d ever seen before. This week, double-digit rainfall filled in the blanks, swamping inland and coastal areas. South Florida is soggy, and all the science says its only going to get worse. That’s bad news for anyone who lives in, works in, owns property in, visits or even passes through South Florida. So, millions of people. But In response, local governments have poured hundreds of millions into solutions over the last few years. Keeping dry for the next decade alone would take billions more — if not tens of billions. They’re elevating roads, buffing up stormwater pumps and replacing drainage pipes with new ones so big an NBA player could walk upright in them. They’re converting golf courses into part-time flood parks to soak up neighborhood drainage. They’re raising seawalls. And the projects appear to be working. Tiffany Troxler, director of science at Florida International University’s Sea Level Solutions Center, said she’s seen projects in Miami neighborhoods that have drastically cut down on flooding. “That’s a really positive sign. We need more of that,” she said. “Without more adaptation projects, we’ll continue to see
