Welcome

October 19, 2010 - welcome to Tird World Miami, a blog I have been thinking about starting for years because many of my friends and I are fed up with all the slimy politicians and corruption in Miami-Dade County.  The Miami Herald only touches the tip of the iceberg when exposing some of the corruption that continues to go on and it deletes readers' comments from online articles that somehow offend someone in power at the Herald.  The Herald even prohibits people from mentioning the last name of the county commissioner representing Northwest Dade County.  This is surely incredible that a major newspaper is afraid of freedom of speech by its subscribers and readers.

I have felt for a long time that a lot of the corruption and waste of taxpayer dollars in our county could have been avoided if we had a top notch local newspaper with high quality investigative reporters digging into county business, contracts and county employee activities.  Unfortunately we only have the Herald and the weekly New Times to protect us and they are just not up to the task based on many years of observations.  Thus I have decided to start the blog to stir things up and hopefully enough other people will like it to make it a success.
