Florida just ended the commercial rent tax after 55 years. While in Miami, Downtowners are still being held hostage by the DDA’s double tax — 58 years and counting. #sosdowntownmiami Ron DeSantis Florida DOGE Blaise Ingoglia Ralph Rosado Mayor Francis Suarez Damian John Pardo Commissioner Miguel Angel Gabela

Downtowners have been hostage to the DDA’s double tax for 58 years. Like and share if you believe it’s time for tax relief. #sosdowntownmiami #sosmiami

From FIFA to the DDA — Commissioner Eileen Higgins keeps taxpayers stuck paying for corporate giveaways — where’s Doug Hanks on DDA handouts? #sosdowntownmiami

Am I the only one noticing Commissioner Eileen Higgins calls herself a ‘trusted leader’ while the County’s $400M in the red, she green-lit a $46M FIFA giveaway, and keeps doling out DDA corporate handouts? Make it make sense. #sosmiami

Got this gem from the DDA… inviting us to a Sept. 19 meeting — After the first city budget hearing (Sept. 13) and days before the final (Sept. 25). Translation: “we’ll hear you once it doesn’t matter.” Pure gaslighting. #sosdowntownmiami

Rosado ignored DNA’s July 25 request. His first move as chair? A staged town hall with Damian Pardo — the DDA’s top apologist. No taxation without representation — put the DDA on the ballot. #sosdowntownmiami Tess Riski Florida DOGE Ron DeSantis Ralph Rosado Damian John Pardo

Silence since July 25. Then we post our letter this morning— and magically Rosado’s “availability” appears. Residents shouldn’t have to shame the DDA to get a meeting. #sosdowntownmiami

Exciting news — finalizing details for a DNA-hosted Mayoral Debate! A chance for all Miamians to hear directly from the candidates about the future of Downtown and our city. Stay tuned! #miami

This is what Downtown’s feeling right now. Reclaim. Resist. No more DDA tax. #sosdowntownmiami #miami

File this under - community benefit, Miami-style. #sosmiami

Must-watch! Higgins now floats charging residents $100/month to use MetroMover — to cover her $46M FIFA giveaway and $400M deficit. Should families have to pay for her failures? #sosmiami #sosdowntownmiami

Out here at 9PM doing the work while others play politics. Downtown’s homeless crisis is real — and our community deserves real solutions. #sosdowntownmiami

Shout out to former Mayor Xavier L. Suarez for standing with Downtown and Brickell residents against the DDA’s double-tax abuse. Every voice chips away at the DDA’s double-tax scam. #sosdowntownmiami Tess Riski Elaine de Valle Glenna Milberg Billy Corben Larry Seward Florida Politics

Higgins: Millions for FIFA and DDA handouts — double-taxing Downtowners and telling hardworking residents to cough up $100/month for the MetroMover. Is it just me or…? #sosdowntownmiami Doug Hanks Tess Riski Elaine de Valle Commissioner Eileen Higgins Ralph Rosado Xavier L. Suarez

$100/month for the MetroMover = $1,200 a year. That’s Commissioner Higgins’ idea of “helping” residents. Do you agree?

Mark your calendars, Miami! DNA is hosting a Mayoral Debate Sept 30. Hear where the candidates stand — moderated by CBS4’s Eliot Rodríguez, a voice Miami knows and trusts. More details soon. Eliott Rodriguez CBS News Miami Tess Riski Miami Herald Elaine de Valle Florida’s Voice Florida Politics
