Local governments cry the blues over cuts the Legislature ordered to ease the tax burden on homeowners, but the way they define a cut doesn't soothe the pain. Take Miami, which Sept. 27 is to hold its second hearing on a budget that Mayor Manny Diaz and City Manager Pete Hernandez proclaimed rests on a $53 million property tax cut.

Tonight I attended the auction for the 20 remaining developer units of the Platinum Condominium located at 480 NE 30 St., north of Downtown Miami. About the crowd...I would guess there were between 300 -400 people there. The media was well represented with reporters and TV crews. CNBC filmed the entire night. Before the auction started the CNBC producer was quizzing the crowd asking if anyone could give a name of a buyer who had either walked...Continue Reading!
