Don't forget! Special Jan. 13th election for City Commission seat

Don't forget the Jan. 13th special election called by the City of South Miami, giving you a chance to make your voice heard and cast a vote to fill the seat on the South Miami City Commission left vacant by the resignation of commissioner Randy Wiscombe.

Last night marked an interesting public debate on the issues among four of the five candidates running for the vacant seat.

Present at a two-hour evening forum hosted by the South Miami Homeowners Association at the Elks Lodge were candidates Valerie Newman, Javier Banos, Frank Cuzzocrea and Shawn Crews; candidate Levy Kelly was not present.

Official notice of the election has been posted at the City's website.

News reports about the election can be read online at the Miami Herald website:
