PORTMIAMI’S $700 MILLION GAMBLE

[5]

The biggest question about PortMiami’s new $700 million bond issue
is not whether the port needs investment. It does. The question is why
Miami-Dade County is rushing to lock in 30 years of debt before the
person hired to lead the port has even had the opportunity to review
the plan. Jonathan Daniels, a nationally respected port executive who
successfully led Port Everglades and the Port of Baltimore, takes over
as PortMiami Director on August 10 because the County wanted stronger
leadership, better oversight and a fresh set of eyes after years of
questions surrounding major decisions, including the Fisher Island
fuel facility controversy. 

Yet before Daniels spends a single day on the job, Miami-Dade is
preparing to price a bond issue that will shape PortMiami through
2056. The question is simple: WHY NOT GIVE THE NEW DIRECTOR NINETY
DAYS TO EVALUATE $700 MILLION IN BORROWING BEFORE COMMITTING THE PORT
FOR THE NEXT THREE DECADES? If the plan is as solid as the
administration says, it should easily withstand a ninety-day review.

AMERICA AT 250: DEMOCRACY, EDUCATION, AND THE PROMISE STILL BEING KEPT

[25]

On July 4, 2026, the United States marked 250 years since 56 men in
Philadelphia signed their names to a single sheet of parchment and
declared something the world had never seen before: that government
derives its legitimacy not from kings or conquest, but from the
consent of the governed.

That idea was, at the time, a radical experiment. Today, a quarter of
a millennium later, it remains one, tested, imperfect, and still very
much alive.

2026 CHEVROLET TAHOE 4WD HIGH COUNTRY IS STILL KING

[28]

The 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe 4WD High Country is not a subtle machine.
Chevrolet’s range-topping full-size SUV wears its ambitions on its
grille, with a signature High Country fascia that announces itself the
way only a vehicle with serious intentions can. You’re not buying
the Tahoe High Country because you’re trying to be like the rest.
You’re buying it because you need three rows, a trailer hitch rated
for serious weight, and the kind of interior...
