MDC’s Half-Penny Proposal
Miami Dade College is proposing a half-penny sales tax increase to benefit the school and its aging infrastructure. MDC President Eduardo Padron joins us on the program to discuss this and how the measure would need to pass the legislature and county voters first.
Guest:
Eduardo Padron, Ph.D., Miami Dade College
Lt. Gov. Carroll and Internet Cafes
Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll resigned unexpectedly this week after an investigation on internet cafes netted a group her public relations company had previously represented. What are internet cafes and why are they being targeted? If Lt. Gov. Carroll has not been charged with a crime, was her resignation necessary?
Guests:
Tamara Lave, Ph.D., University of Miami
Doug Lyons, SunSentinel
