Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Jose Rodriguez denied a motion for a temporary injunction aimed at invalidating a controversial ballot question regarding gym equipment in Maurice A. Ferré Park. This ruling confirms that Miami voters will still decide on the equipment's fate in the upcoming referendum, despite claims from local residents that the ballot question lacks important details about the reversal of the outdoor gym's approval by the city's Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board.
Michael Valdes, representing the county Elections Department, clarified the situation during a Wednesday hearing: "It's not as simple as just turning a switch on or off with this particular equipment. The machines have already been programmed, and we cannot reprogram the machines without doing significant potential harm to all of the other races on the ballot. ... We'd have to re-code the entire election."
