Miami Has a New Mayor and She's Moving Fast | Eileen Higgins

Miami's new mayor Eileen Higgins joins us fresh off her first 100 days in office to break down exactly what she's been working on and what she's already changed. She covers permitting reform, fire and police station negligence, flooding and stormwater infrastructure, affordable housing, and the challenges that turned out to be harder than expected.

We also get into the Veterans Museum, Flagler Street revitalization, the World Cup Fan Fest at Bayfront Park, Freedom Park, the new administration building, government workforce training programs, and why Miami desperately needs more schools. Plus quick fun facts and her top 3 Miami restaurants.

This is Miami's new leadership — and it's already moving.
