SOUTHWEST RANCHES – The upcoming mayoral election in the rural town of Southwest Ranches has sparked a heated debate between incumbent Steve Breitkreuz and challenger Lori Parrish both longtime residents with differing visions for how the town should move forward who has lived in Southwest Ranches for 25 years and served on the town council for 12 arguing that the town’s current approach to governance is what makes it special “I believe we are on the right track for a lot of different reasons,” he said His platform centers on a hands-off approach to code enforcement which he believes maintains the town’s unique charm and allows residents to live with greater freedom compared to neighboring cities compared to a lot of our neighboring towns we don’t enforce code to the degree that others do,” Breitkreuz added “Unless you are infringing on the rights of somebody else you should be able to do what you want to do.” this philosophy translates into a town where residents can build their homes in a wide range of styles park any number of vehicles on their properties and even paint their homes in non-traditional colors The relaxed enforcement of regulations appeals to many residents but Breitkreuz’s challenger believes it’s time for change is running against Breitkreuz with the promise of implementing more structure and accountability who has also lived in the town for many years says she has heard from numerous residents who feel their concerns are not being addressed under the current administration “There are people out here who feel their voice doesn’t matter,” she said Parrish’s campaign is centered on reforming the town’s approach to code enforcement potholes and speeding in residential areas Parrish also called for a code enforcement review board to identify and resolve issues that conflict with the town’s lifestyle “I think we need a code enforcement review board but to go through our code and find those things that don’t match our lifestyle and eliminate them.” Parrish has learned that many residents are frustrated by issues such as drainage problems Two was potholes and three was interior road speeding,” Parrish said believes that the town’s less structured approach is exactly what appeals to many residents He argues that Southwest Ranches is one of the few remaining places where homeowners can enjoy such freedoms without interference “If you want to live in a community where all that structure is not there preserving the town’s rural feel and individual freedoms is paramount He maintains that over-regulation could strip Southwest Ranches of its identity and uniqueness “The beauty of Southwest Ranches is that it allows people to live the way they want without the rigid rules found in other cities,” he said emphasizing that the town’s loose approach to code enforcement is a reflection of that philosophy believes that some level of regulation is necessary to address the community’s growing pains she argues that the town must adapt its approach to issues like infrastructure and safety who has decades of experience in public service feels she is the right person to bring about these changes and I believe I have the skills and experience to make that happen,” Parrish said Both candidates have long histories of service in the community and each has a distinct vision for the town’s future While Breitkreuz advocates for maintaining the town’s rural character with minimal government interference Parrish believes in a more structured approach The outcome of the mayoral race could significantly impact how Southwest Ranches manages its future growth and development as the town continues to attract new residents while maintaining its reputation as a rural oasis in Broward County “I believe we are on the right track,” Breitkreuz said Parrish remains hopeful that voters will support her call for change “I believe I have the skills and experience to make a real difference,” she said Both candidates have laid out their visions it’s up to the voters to decide which path Southwest Ranches will take Copyright 2024 by WPLG Local10.com - All rights reserved Roy Ramos joined the Local 10 News team in 2018 Roy is a South Florida native who grew up in Florida City He attended Christopher Columbus High School Homestead Senior High School and graduated from St TV Listings Email Newsletters RSS Feeds Closed Captioning / Audio Description Contact Us Careers at WPLG Terms of Use Privacy Policy Public File FCC Applications EEO Report Do Not Sell My Info 1.0 Host Exhibit Copyright © 2025 Local10.com is published by WPLG INC. sponsored by:South FloridaAMonumental Real Estate Sells $7.2M Estate A stunning estate at 17841 W 70th Place has just closed for $7.2 million—offering more than just a jaw-dropping price tag.

the Broward Clerk of Courts a company by the name Ver Ver Entertainment alleges that Kingston partially paid for a 232-inch television and entertainment system but The complaint goes on to allege that Kingston used his name and celebrity status to scam people out of products and services — never paying for them “He basically has a sales pitch that he goes through to defraud people He induces them into giving him really expensive things,” Card said “We know that our property is inside this house right here so as soon as the raid takes place we are going to have a crew of people in there to reassemble it and take it back to its rightful owner.” Kingston has not been seen on the property Authorities said they took Kingston’s mother Janice Turner into custody on “numerous fraud and theft charges” pursuant to an investigation that began in Dania Beach earlier that morning Turner was booked into the Broward County Jail Thursday evening my lawyers are handling everything as we speak.”

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY – Miami-Dade commissioners will not be making any decisions about the controversial solid waste incinerator on Wednesday Leer en español Commissioners have faced strong pushback from residents in Miramar and Medley who oppose building an incinerator Eric Trump opposed having it anywhere near Trump National Doral. Commissioner Keon Hardemon, who represents the eastern District 3 I want to challenge that person,” Hardemon said." I don’t think we should make a decision out of fear.” Commissioner Eileen Higgins, who represents the eastern District 5 don’t get involved in that,” Higgins said during the meeting The meeting agenda did include a resolution that passed ordering a report to help commissioners learn more about the costs of either building a new incinerator or a landfill expansion those are the three pillars I am looking at when making a decision,” said Commissioner Anthony Rodriguez who represents District 10 and serves as chairman but let’s make an informed one,” Commissioner Juan Carlos “JC” Bermudez a former Doral mayor who represents District 12 Last month, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava recommended eliminating the incinerator option as a short-term solution and building a new waste facility instead “I’m recommending that we continue to long haul waste via truck and rail,” Levine Cava said about a short-term plan commissioners had learned the new incinerator was more expensive than transporting the trash by truck and train “It is entirely up to this commission and we will follow their direction,” Levine Cava said The challenge started after there was a fire at the Covanta Energy plant in 2023 near Northwest 74th Street and 97th Avenue in Doral While The Airport West property was considered Miramar Mayor Wayne Messam opposed incineration tech Other options include building an out-of-county landfill or waste-to-energy facility said postponing the issue again felt like déjà vu “The frustration is shared by many of us about why there has been no holistic decision made over the last two years,” Rodriguez said “I look forward to making that decision this fiscal year before the end of the year under my chairmanship.” Commissioners plan to discuss the incinerator again in July “That meeting in July will finally lead to a decision if the administration provides all the information,” Bermudez said Innovations and Technology Committee to also direct the County Mayor or County Mayor’s designee to explore and analyze available funding sources and technologies to contribute to or defray the costs of the County’s solid waste system including any construction operation and maintenance costs associated with a solid waste campus “This Board directs the County Mayor or County Mayor’s designee to prepare a written report addressing all the directives set forth in this resolution The County Mayor or County Mayor’s designee shall submit and place on an agenda of the full Board without committee review pursuant to Rule 5.06(j) of the Board’s Rules of Procedure Source: https://www.miamidade.gov/govaction/legistarfiles/Matters/Y2025/250300.pdf Copyright 2025 by WPLG Local10.com - All rights reserved Christina returned to Local 10 in 2019 as a reporter after covering Hurricane Dorian for the station Murrow Award-winning journalist and previously earned an Emmy Award while at WPLG for her investigative consumer protection segment "Call Christina." MIAMI – Many wearing bright green shirts dozens of residents of cities in southwest Broward ventured south of the county line Tuesday to give Miami-Dade County commissioners a piece of their minds regarding a plan to build a new waste-to-energy plant at the site of a decommissioned airport The Opa-locka West Airport site is — controversially — a stone’s throw south of the Broward County line, located near Okeechobee Road and Krome Avenue. It is among four options Miami-Dade’s mayor and commission considered to replace the previous Doral facility, which burned down in early 2023 That has residents and officials in Broward cities like Miramar Southwest Ranches and Pembroke Pines angry threatening litigation and showing up to Miami-Dade meetings like Tuesday’s commission meeting where officials are expected to vote on the plan “It’s a shock to learn that Miami-Dade County is prepared to impose in Broward County what you no longer want in your county,” one south Broward resident said “It strikes me as taxation without representation regarding our environment and lives.” Tuesday’s meeting came one day after Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava held a Doral town hall on the incinerator proposal has led the charge against the plan alongside environmental groups He was at Tuesday’s meeting and spoke to Local 10 News “We don’t want it to be built and then Miramar is forced to say “So why place this incinerator right on top of all of South Florida’s drinking water supply?” “You’re basically going to put an ash landfill right against the pristine water that we all need and it is immoral to place this incinerator at Airport West.” exhorting commissioners to “remember” who their constituents are alluding to the fact that they serve Miami-Dade residents Levine Cava has called the site one that provides the “best possible balance between multiple factors including cost and impact to residents and natural resources” and promised measures to protect the environment Commissioners eventually voted to defer the project until the Nov They’ve asked county staff to complete a report on the cost of a recent Medley land swap offer whether Doral is willing to reimburse the county for the “enormous cost of relocating” the incinerator elsewhere and exploring the environmental impact of the development They also discussed the damning, damaging legacy of “Old Smokey” in Miami’s West Grove neighborhood “We just kicked the can down the road,” he said “I don’t think this county should hold the residents of Doral hostage.” – In the heart of Southwest Ranches sits a special ranch This little hideaway is also the residence of a community of cats and one horse trainer with a heart of gold is saving felines while combating one of South Florida’s biggest pet problems Herrmann Stables is complete with 16 horses on six acres with six paddocks and two arenas Her love for animals is palpable and she wants everyone to experience the majestic nature of horses It’s an exchange of energy from the handler These big boys can weigh upwards of 1,000 pounds and that can be intimidating to many but Herrmann teaches people to experience that sense instead of being scared of it This professional rider and trainer doesn’t just care for fillies and foals though And when I took this farm over three years ago more than two dozen of these furballs are her responsibility spay and neuter is paramount to controlling the population The Humane Society of Broward County came out to the barns and spent two days sterilizing each and every feline “And now we have a pretty nice colony of cats They are healthy and it stays the same because nobody is breeding,” Herrmann said but the over-breeding of feral cats is a South Florida concern that pops up in nearly every single city saving these little lives and preventing more kittens in the future To find out more about Herrmann Stables or spaying and neutering feral cats, visit Humanebroward.com and Micheleherrmann.net Jacey Birch is Local 10's Animal Advocate reporter and investigator for animal stories Johnson’s income isn’t coming just from movies and television The very bankable star has also made millions off the big screen with business ventures like his award-winning tequila we take a look at some of the Rock’s most well-known properties including adding a gym and a cottage for his trainer to stay in seven-bathroom dwelling featured both Mediterranean and neoclassical elements a massive foyer with an intricate chandelier greeted guests at the front door Major highlights included a primary bedroom with a sleek black fireplace and room enough for lounging;
