Our deepest sympathies go out to the families, loved ones, and all those affected by this devastating accident at Miami International Airport. We are deeply grateful to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, the Sheriff’s office and all of the first responders who rushed to the scene.

Excited that the item to open the Miami Center for Mental Health and Recovery is finally heading to the BCC. It's the plan I've championed for years, including independent Jackson Health reviews, BHAB oversight, and protections for core County services. Congrats #JudgeLeifman

#BCCNews: On Friday, June 12, Commissioner Raquel A. Regalado hosted a Neuroinclusive Soccer Clinic celebrating the FIFA World Cup at Evelyn Greer Park in District 7.

UPDATE: Metrorail and Metromover service has resumed and is operating on a normal schedule. However, all trains will continue to bypass Government Center Station until further notice. A bus bridge is in place between Overtown and Brickell stations for Metrorail passengers.

ALERT: Due to a service disruption at Government Center Station, all Metrorail and Metromover trains are currently being held at stations until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Today’s news involving Venezuela & Nicolás Maduro has far-reaching effects for many families across #OurCounty. I commend our brave armed services and their leadership for successfully carrying out a mission that has brought hope to so many residents in our community.

Our community has lost a protector, a friend, and a true hero. Rest in peace, @MiamiDade_SO Deputy Devin Jaramillo. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten, and your legacy will live on in the hearts of those you touched.

Miami-Dade @MayorDaniella on the Seaquarium news today. Looks like the park could close by November

As some commissioners push to cut county travel expense, @CommishRR Regalado says discussion should include International Trade Consortium, which funds commissioner travel abroad… Didn’t seem to go anywhere on the dais

Compromise proposed on helicopter funding. @MayorDaniella says over 2 years she’ll shift full cost of program back countywide property tax, from Fire Rescue property tax — where most of the costs are paid. Used to be CW tax paid all of it. Credits @CommishRR Regalado for deal

Last month the BCC unanimously approved our item to reduce the administration's proposed rate increase to water & sewer. We’ve been working with WASD to reduce costs & streamline projects, that work took us from a 6% proposed increase to a 4%, but I believe we can do better.

#CommitteeMinute: On Wednesday, June 25, Appropriations Committee Chair @CommishRR and Government Efficiency and Transparency Ad Hoc Committee Chair @commishbermudez held a joint meeting. The committee chairs discuss preparations for #OurCounty’s upcoming budget meeting.

“Even when Manolo was mad at you, you couldn’t be mad at him” @CommishRR Regalado says of the late Miami Commish Manolo Reyes. Said he was good at bringing potential solutions when complaining about a problem. He wasn’t “Commissioner No.”

Good figures here on spending growth in the general fund in Miami-Dade (and payroll). @CommishRR said staff reductions are coming as county tries to balance its 2026 budget.

Commish @CommishRR on Miam-Dade's prior flush budgets: "Our residents have tightened their belts. It’s time we tighten our belts. A lot of the things created during the pandemic must die."

"Commissioner Regalado has consistently demonstrated fiscal responsibility, strategic thinking, and a deep commitment to serving our residents.  I am pleased to appoint her as Chair of the Appropriations Committee, where her leadership will be instrumental in ensuring our county’s resources are allocated effectively."   --Chairman @CommishArod on @CommishRR

In honor of #AutismAcceptanceMonth, @CommishRR partnered with @CommishArod and the constitutional officers to announce the launch of Miami-Dade County Neuro-Inclusive Service Days. This initiative will expand access to essential services for neurodiverse residents in #OurCounty.

In honor of Autism Awareness Day, I joined @CommishRR and other elected officials to announce Neuro-Inclusive County Services Days - a step toward greater accessibility and inclusion. We remain committed to the safety of our neurodiverse residents by continuing to enroll families in the Occupant with Autism Program. This initiative alerts emergency responders when a person with autism is present in a home or vehicle, ensuring interactions are handled with care and understanding. #WorldAutismAwarenessDay
