FL's challenge to Miami's elex delay effort may reverberate in Coral Gables. Melissa Castro is seeking a similar opinion from Attorney General James Uthmeier on the city's May vote to move its election to November and cut officials' terms by 5 months. She also filed an ordinance on the matter.

Does the #Florida AG opinion on the #Miami election date move apply to #CoralGables? Melissa Castro Castro thinks so. Tomorrow's meeting in i#CoralGables promises to be interesting. politicalcortadito.com/2025/06/30/cor…

Coral Gables commissioners have censured Melissa Castro for seeking a legal opinion from Attorney General James Uthmeier -- on the city's recent decision to reschedule elections without prior voter approval, like Miami did -- without first conferring with them.

The Court has ruled: No changes to our elections or terms of office without voter approval! While some officials attempted to make these changes without your vote, I stood firmly for our residents' rights. The court has now affirmed that any such changes are unconstitutional.

More reverberations from the #Miami 3rd DCA ruling on election change. #CoralGabes Melissa Castro Castro has asked for a special meeting to repeal the City Beautiful's own election year change without a public vote. More later on #PoliticalCortadito

The court ruled: changing elections without voter approval is unconstitutional. Coral Gables is now out of compliance. I took action. The majority blocked it. At my own expense, I hired an election law expert. I’ve drafted the legislation. I’m not backing down. #ProtectTheVote

In #CoralGables, city Melissa Castro Castro tried to call a special meeting on the heels of the court ruling against #Miami on the election date change. But the other commissioners could not make themselves available. politicalcortadito.com/2025/08/01/cor…

“Too rich for my blood”? Coral Gables still lags behind. 40 police vacancies last year → 17 today. Progress, yes. But our officers earn tens of thousands less. #FactsMatter

Meanwhile, in #CoralGables, someone intentionally edited the commission meeting video to take out ⁦Vince Lago⁩ increasingly disruptive outbursts. I love ⁦Miami New Times⁩ ⁦Naomi Feinstein⁩ miaminewtimes.com/news/coral-gab…
