The long list for the sitting Mayor's fundraiser is full of glad-handlers and sycophants lined up to eat at the trough of taxpayer handouts. The "Baitster" as he is euphemistically called by some of his most ardent critics, is revving up the political machine. He'd better launch an offensive quickly as Mark Bell, husband of County Commissioner Lynda Bell, is getting ready to mount a political assault on City Hall. Eye on Miami (EOM) has provided the list.

Even back in 1998 under the Mayoral leadership of Steve Shiver the City of Homestead was looking to move City Hall and capitalize on the prime retail/commercial prospects of the current site. Yes, current Mayor Steve Bateman was a member of that council. Fourteen years is a long time to table an issue as important as a safe working environment.
From The Miami Herald: Monday’s decisions are only the latest in a City Hall saga that goes back to at least 1998, when the city floated the idea of selling the land the building now sits on. Homestead City Hall is on a prime piece of real estate: a busy corner of U.S. 1 and Campbell Drive. Back in the late 1990s, then-mayor Steve Shiver thought Homestead could fetch a pretty penny by selling the 18-acre site. The city’s most recent appraisal, in 2010, estimated Homestead could sell the City Hall site for $8.5 million.
