Letter: West Kendall doesn’t want to be a city – West Kendall – MiamiHerald.com

After reading about the arrests of the mayors of Sweetwater, Miami Lakes and now Homestead, the battle over who is the real mayor of North Miami, the police chief suing South Miami, the city of Miami under SEC investigation, and the higher tax rates for residents in several cities, I am very happy in our unincorporated area. Or I was happy until Miami-Dade County commissioners Juan C. Zapata and Dennis Moss went ahead and created municipal advisory committees to study the issue of incorporating West Kendall/South Kendall without getting petitions from residents as required by the county charter. They waived that requirement in an effort to push this unwanted issue, even though the majority of residents over the past eight years have said “no” to this insane effort.
