Summary<\/p>\n
Mayor Tim Mirabaugh and council members BJ Duncan and Ramirez traveled to Tallahassee with Sen. Calatayo to press for state support for six town projects; the transcript does not specify project names or dollar amounts.<\/p>\n
Mayor Tim Mirabaugh said Mayor Tim Mirabaugh and two town council members traveled to Tallahassee to seek state support for six projects on behalf of the Town of Cutler Bay.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s your mayor Tim Mirabaugh here, and I’m with our councilman BJ Duncan and councilman Ramirez,\u201d Mirabaugh said, introducing the delegation and acknowledging Sen. Calatayo as their legislative representative. He said the group had come to Tallahassee \u201cbecause she does such a great job\u201d and to \u201clet[] you know what our needs are.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mirabaugh and an accompanying speaker told the senator and others that \u201cthis year, we have, 6 projects that we’re asking for a little bit of help on,\u201d but the transcript does not list the projects or any requested dollar amounts. Mirabaugh praised Sen. Calatayo’s responsiveness, saying, \u201cShe already knows what we need, and she’s advocating for us,\u201d and added that that made him \u201cfeel real good to know that we’re really in good hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speakers framed the visit as an appeal for state funding; Mirabaugh asked Sen. Calatayo to \u201cbring some of those tax dollars \u2026 back to Cutler Bay.\u201d An unidentified speaker also asserted that \u201cthere’s no town that comes up here that is more proactive on making sure every tax dollar goes where it needs to.\u201d<\/p>\n
The delegation did not provide details about the six projects, specific funding programs, or timelines in the recorded remarks. No formal motions, votes, or binding commitments are recorded in the transcript. The visit, as presented in the transcript, was a routine legislative advocacy trip seeking state support for local needs.<\/p>\n
Next steps: the transcript records the delegation’s request but does not record a response from Sen. Calatayo or a schedule for follow-up; project names and funding details were not specified in the available remarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summary Mayor Tim Mirabaugh and council members BJ Duncan and Ramirez traveled to Tallahassee with Sen.
