could you please post a link where you obtained the info of person on person crime increasing wherever there is a dispensary? I would love to be able to have some hard data on that. Thank you...

We need a grassroots movement in Florida to lead the country into the future. Money controls everything in our society and currently we are high on debt and low on cash, especially in south Florida where pushing everything to the max is a lifestyle. Whatever means necessary to generate more cash in our tourism dominated service region is vital to our survival and prosperity. All of the ideas mentioned have tremendous potential, did forget about solar resources here and a better train system creation would get some jobs rolling. Let's please lead the nation in some positive aspect or another and unleash a comeback already!

Ok.. First of all. Mfee2079. You are a joke. Do your research before you open your ignorant mouth. Its because of people like you that this country is known for being stupid. Marijuana has a number of medicinal uses. And I sure as hell will be voting as well as promoting Luke for he has the right idea. Do you people not know what is truley going on in the govt right now? WE HAVE NO MONEY! Its that simple. We went to the middle east to cut off the Cerian Pipe Line so we could take their oil to come up w revenue. Now we go to Lybia to try to take their Lithium wich is used for nuclear energy. We dont even have the money to withdraw all of our resorces that we put in the middle east. In the meantime China holds a huge debt over our heads and laughs as we continue to sacrafice our soldiers in order to pay them their money. It is time that America starts thinking about restructuring our economy. What can we produce that other countries will want/need? Back to the basics guys. Its time to get rid of ignorance across the United States.. We cant afford it!

@mfee7029 man you need to smoke a little pot to relax dont talk about something you know nothing about obviously. I think Luke has ther right idea. Luke is from Miami he knows how people are here and he is absolutely correct I vote for that and for him. .drinking alcohol is the #1cause of deaths and what about the disgusting habit of cigarrette PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carlos 05/16/2011 9:36:00 PM
According to your stats 65.8 % dont live in poverty. I have dealt with the Seminole and Miccosukee Indians for decades and I can assure you my stats are correct. What stats and info they feed the US Government is all bullshit. Nobody but nobody in our Gov has any idea of what goes on in these reservations. So take your stats and go fly a kite.
-
Carlos 05/16/2011 9:27:00 PM
I agree 100%. How can this moron Bonez compare weed with flake. I am Cuban born and I would never vote for any of the corrupt Latinos running in this election. We the tax payers been betrayed, lied to and stolen from for way too long by these self serving sons of bitches. I am ready for a change. If Luke screws up, we can always have another recall.

Do you realize how much we can save by not wasting law enforcement and incarceration money on pot users? You can not overdose, and a 2007 study done at Harvard shows THC decreases the growth of non small cell carcinoma by 50%. Why is pot illegal but sky diving and motorcycle riding, as well as use of tobacco (a known killer) is legal. 70 people a day die in broward county from cigarette related causes

Some of you people need to realize that Dade County is broke and in order to come away form that we need changes. You sit here and complain about what this man is trying to do to bring revenue here to our county, what are you doing to help beside try to down grade every thing this man is trying to do to get us back afloat. You complain about the youth and crime right did you ever think about how the school system on the verge of firing good hard working teachers some of these things can help the school system with funding. Some of you need to get your head out your a$$ and wake up we are a falling county and for us not to see it well then we all must be blind. (WAKE UP PEOPLE WE DO NEED CHANGE).

Mfee2079 05/16/2011 10:06:00 AM
Aside from glocoma relief for SOME patients and lowering the side effects of chemo Medical pot has no medicinal value. yet every 20 something pot head jumps on this as the saving grace. Sorry but most of you will not qualify for the prescription. As for tax revenue Los Angeles has 3 times the Miami population and is only getting 10 million in tax revenue? tell me what good is 3 million going to do for the trrouble Miami has? as for crime statistics every where there is a MMD person on person crime has increased.
Tell me who came up with the idea that doing drugs will solve problems? if that was the case we would have lines of millionaires instead of prisons in every county

This is dead on. MMJ Dispensaries have been, and are, revitalizing cities like Denver as well. And guess what? So far there have been almost "0" problems. Look at the crime stats folks. He's right. You who disagree are just.......not very concerned about the needs of legitimate patients, actually.
-
05/15/2011 5:01:00 AM
In your dreams you coke head. You are the type of person I would not want to associate with. Luke's ideas may sound crazy but they sound better than what the Hialeah and Little Havana politicians have to offer: corruption and self-servitude.

-
BR Sumbich 05/14/2011 5:26:00 PM
Better check your stats.
in 2008, 34.2% of American Indians have income levels sub poverty. Its even worse now. The typical Indian reservation is a slum. The hierarchy of the tribe is riddled with corruption. Some make big money, while MOST live in the crapper.
While this may not bother someone like you, it is not exactly the way I would want to raise my kids.

Tom 05/13/2011 7:44:00 PM
No thank you. I like Virginia Key the way it is, don't want to legalize gambling in Miami and don't need any more week long festivals.

if ur already legalizing weed and gambling, legalize cocaine too! more coke, more money!!!!

05/13/2011 3:51:00 PM
If you are a smart voter, you will NOT vote for another corrupt-self-serving-do-nothing Cuban politician from Hialeah or Little Havana. The ethnic voters of Miami-Dade have already screwed things up so badly how much more worse can it get? I would rather vote for a clown than any of these Cuban politicians Miami-Dade county has to offer. I got an idea for all you "beautiful" Miamians, stay out of that hot sun some and maybe you will be able to think for yourselves for once. smh
-
05/13/2011 3:45:00 PM
Legalize bud thats right. hahahaha

bienvenidosamiami 05/13/2011 11:04:00 AM
Luke, nobody wants to vote for someone who makes sense and has ideas on how to generate revenue. How dare you spout those ideas off???? You should go run for government somewhere else. Like anywhere else in the US that is not filled with a bunch of idiot, small-minded racist Republicans.

Miami Native 05/13/2011 1:25:00 AM
Uncle Luke, Uncle Tom.... same thing. Why is it race is always brought into an argument irrelevant of racism? You want more crime from broke gambling addicts, go ahead. Gambling addiction is just another way to take money from the poor and helpless just PRAYING to win it big one day. You think all the broke black brothers need another way to waste their money than the lottery? New times is garbage, racist bullshit, AND IM BLACK!!

chaste nature child 05/12/2011 10:32:00 PM
"It's elementary my Dear Watson!!" Casinos+Alcohol=Any Casino Town anywhere in the U.S.A., BUT... Casinos+Legalized Pot? There is NO precedent anywhere in the U.S.A.! The natural progression in legislation for casino towns is to outlaw everything but alcohol and gambling. It's ONE or the OTHER! AND, with Casinos...The People Become Much Uglier! PLUS The Vice of Gambling Doesn't breed Concern for the Natural Beauty of the Beaches or Nature , Then, Southern Florida's Beauty WILL Fall by the Way-Side.........

This forum has become a joke. When this rag gives equal unbiased time to other candidates I will take it seriously. Until then, please dont bother to print any more garbage. You people at the New Times are all full of shit.
-
Ms_leace 05/12/2011 6:32:00 PM
No, Luke. Although I like you, I have to disagree with your idea. Yes, it will generate money for the cities and state of florida; however, it would lead those that live here down the road to tragedy. I beg you, don't do it. Find alternative solutions. Keep the everyday people in mind.
-
alljdm 05/12/2011 3:42:00 PM
Finally someone running for mayor that makes sense.. It's about time that someone opened there mouth in favor of the new options we have to create jobs and revenue. And look around for rational choices. Medicla MJ is a great idea, just like in california.. Lets take these profits away from the criminals and put money into the hands of the law abiding citizens and tax it to increase the revenues of the county. Come on people we are Miami the "305" we know how to make it work. The Casino Idea is good aswell we are a tourist city and thats what we need to attract. It's time to take politics out of the hands of these corrupt and closed minded politicians.. Uncle Luke il be voting for you Just keep Your Promises
-
Dgonzalez 05/12/2011 3:35:00 PM
Uncle Luke is the man! He will take a different approach to running a city that has long been curropted by people who portray themselves to be upstanding citizens. Luther dosn't need the money so chances of being bribed are slim and he is something completely different to the scum that has plagued our city for so long... Bring the casinos, pot and let the good times roll. Don't be a prude!!!!!
-
Carlos 05/12/2011 3:22:00 PM
Sad state of affairs? Every tribe member rakes in an avg of 50-60 K tax free per year from the casinos
-
BR Sumbich 05/12/2011 10:19:00 AM
Hey dipstick, perhaps that's why I am not running for office. I never claimed to have the solution, but if I put at least 3 brain cells on the job, I think I could come up with something better than gambling, and drug abuse. Looking at the sad state of affairs for the general population of nearly every American Indian tribe, only an idiot would make such suggestions.
-
Dj_lechter 05/12/2011 9:36:00 AM
It does make one question the validity of their argument. Seeing someone who communicates like a retarded child makes one wonder about the amount of forethought that can be attributed to their opinion. "free the herb mon"? Let's not kid ourselves. The person who posted this drivel is an idiot who shows no evidence in their statement of education or adult reasoning. That is exactly who Uncle Luke wants to vote.
-
Dj_lechter 05/12/2011 6:13:00 AM
The reality of the situation is that Uncle Luke is pandering to the basest desires of his constituency - the under-educated, under-employed Black voting block. If you can't see the forest for the trees, that would be your problem, not mine. He didn't even have the decency to show up at a recent debate until candidates were making their closing statements, only to throw in his tired "only serving a part of the community" racially motivated vagaries. What part of the community do you think he will focus his efforts on?
Microbreweries are making an impact, but only because they strive for innovation and creation of new product. Luke's platform, s he suggests here, does not. It only serves o leech off others' vices.

Excellent ideas....just remember a portion of the dollars you raise though these efforts will be needed to control these efforts with increased police funding. And speaking of police, if elected, please be sure to MANDATE that all police officers have a bachelor's degree in a related field before entering them into the academy.

steviekicks 05/11/2011 6:37:00 AM
Microbreweries are making a big impression in growing cities all over the country and they're a great way to brand our city as something other than what you're suggesting. You should say something racist next..wait, you already tried to.
I'm sorry I just have to say it: Dude, you're a douche. Try to jam some sense in that pea brain and read the reality of the situation. Or just move to Minneapolis. I have this feeling you'll love it.

steviekicks 05/11/2011 6:26:00 AM
That's a disgusting way to approach something you disagree with. You should back it up with something substantial. I think you should give up and leave others to clean up the mess you most likely have for yourself.

Congratulations Luther, you've finally come in first place at something.
-
Fred123 05/11/2011 3:08:00 AM
Sad thing is that he is serious. If we can't provide a quality US city, then let's give up. Legalize drugs, child porn, prostitution, sodomy, and gambling. Then, when only the scum of the earth come around .... we can rethink.
-
Dj_lechter 05/11/2011 12:44:00 AM
We could even turn Liberty City into a theme park. Put tourists in armored vehicles and drive them thru the daily battles over drug revenues. Or we could start an "adopt-a-drug addict" program for the area. The adoptive sponsor would get new mugshots of their ward every time they got arrested. We could set up sanctioned, live-fire illegal immigrant hunts, and charge the well heeled a million a pop to bag their own brownie.
