Carlos A. Gimenez
It's all coming out. The scheme of Carlos Gimenez and Stephen Ross. The bright idea to redevelop Liberty Square was born amongst friends. A very ambitious idea that would reap million for those involved. The Mayor of Miami-Dade, Carlos Gimenez was given the position of leading the play. The only problem was the play had to look legitimate. So in a effort for legitimacy a board would be selected to pick a developer for the project. This is where the problem started. Mr. Ross and the powers that be didn't think that the African community of Liberty City would think in terms of manifest destiny. They did not realize that as beat down and broken as the African communities in the Untied States are the people will always remain strong. In this strength the people will always take control of their destiny. The leaders in the Liberty City community have been quietly cultivating this strength, and are now stepping to the forefront to take control of their community. Mr. Ross and Jorge Perez are out side of this level of understanding.
Stephen Ross
Stephen Ross may find victory elusive on the field, but he certainly does not off the field. Strong business men like Mr. Ross are used to controlling Government. So when Mr. Ross's company Related Companies found out they had lost the bid he had to do something. What happened next started what might be the next riot in Miami. Jorge Perez/ Related Development Group sent a letter to Carlos Gimenez office telling there star quarterback they did not like the play. In a effort to run the play over Carlos Gimenez office question who they believed to be the weakest link in the scheme, Liberty Square Residents Council President Sara Smith.
This is skimpily a case of not stacking the deck well enough. Liberty City is saying they are not having it and are standing behind Sara Smith, rumbling threats of violence.
Let's see what happens next!
