James Cason Elected Coral Gables Mayor Thanks to New Times

• Is he another republicunt douche bag? Coral Gables is a dump.

• Is his pension and the Commissioners pension also included in his pension cuts.

• Thanks for your coverage. Cason is a true diplomat, replacing a failed leader and ending a decade of shame and disappointment for Gables citizens. CAson's story is truly interesting and unique. It will be interesting to see how the landscape changes on his watch as the last vestiges of Sleezy cronyism are eradicated.

• Well it was a nicely done article.

• "De Cardenas helped Cason amp up his anti-Castro credentials among Coral Gables Cuban American voters." Stupidity is the norm in South Florida. In a rational community it would be irrelevant whether the mayor of Coral Gables is pro-Castro, anti-Castro, or Castro-neutral. Coral Gables is not a nation and as such it doesn't have a foreign policy.

• Your article certainly lent valuable support in terms of information; kudos for your coverage. However Jim also had solid support within the community among not only Latin voters but a broad base of discontented citizens. Jim and his dedicated team spent months on daily walks to meet over 8000 households. His plans to reform the city's finances also resonated with the populace and he had the solid support of other major local players like former mayors, city bloggers, and the Sierra Club. It was truly a grassroots team effort. Thanks Francisco and Miami New Times for your part.

• Even Bill Clinton couldn't help Korge!
