Homestead Mayor Corruption: Too Cozy? State Attorney's Office may need Special Prosecutor

Miami Bridge is a not-for-profit whose "mission is to promote positive youth development, and strengthen and support families to enable children to actualize their full potential to become productive community members."  Corruption not being one of the potentials we want our youth to develop, it would behoove this organization to keep its distance from the Mayor of Homestead.

 The Annual Gala 2013: Bridge to the Stars - A Starry Night,  featured Mayor Steven Bateman and his wife, Donna Bateman, as well State Attorney Katherine Fernandez-Rundle (KFR).  It's ironic that this event's theme was "Starry Night", which may refer to the "Stars" at the Gala, of the human variety, and not Van Gogh's depiction of the view outside of his sanitarium room window during his hospitalization in Arles, France.  Perhaps it was just a coincidence that could imply a depiction,  a prophesy of sorts, of a prison cell window in the not too distant future for the Mayor, if the allegations of corruption are found to be true.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but then again Mayor Bateman has been know to schmooze and glad-hand for photo opportunities.   We hope these pictures don't reflect a special relationship where exceptional considerations needs to be taken with Mayor Bateman's corruption investigation.  Otherwise, there will be calls in the community for the State Attorney's Office (SAO) to appoint a Special Prosecutor, effectively having KFR recuse herself from this investigation.  We truly want to believe that this is  a  mere happenstance and a photo-op apropos for the occasion.
