“It’s as if the die had been cast...& it doesnt matter what kind of situation our community is in...profit over people”-
#Miami Dade Commish @barbarajordan1 , asking for a veto override that would kill #Formula1 in #Miami (Gardens).
Packed house here for this ...

A fiery Jordan shows this aerial to show @HardRockStadium in the middle of #MiamiGardens residents. She frames the question: “If a race is to be held & street closure required, the community will get a chance to weigh in ..” (Currently, #Formula1 can do it without)
@WPLGLocal10

Commish @barbarajordan1 names names, commissioner by commissioner asking - “what if #Formula1 was to be at (fill in the venue) in your community?”
(Note: Downtown #Miami residents have already said #nimby “
@WPLGLocal10

Responding now: @MayorGimenez - asking commission not to override his veto because “...we need more time to work out a compromise .. so this race can work .... and be a win-win”
(which he has been trying to do the last few weeks)
@WPLGLocal10

And the attempt to override @MayorGimenez veto fails 7-to-5 (needed a supermajority of 8)
AKA the attempt to plan a #Formula1 #Miami (Gardens) race @HardRockStadium lives..
@WPLGLocal10

#Miami Dade Commish Pepe Diaz frames the argument for #Formula1 as a neighborhood street race.
Would he want the race across the street from his house (“casa Diaz”?) Listen⏩

“Maybe you shouldn’t have started with the conclusion...” -
@CityofMiaGarden Mayor Oliver Gilbert, whose city council opposed #Formula1 @HardRockStadium , on whether he sees a way to a “win-win” for both #Miami Gardens residents & the @F1 race. Listen⏩
