Miami City Commissioner Angel Gonzalez will resign soon amid an investigation into a job he got his daughter. There's probably a joke in here about his name being Angel while he is clearly not one, but why would we make a joke as horrible as that? That joke would be almost as horrible as the city commission.

Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones will be sworn in today, despite allegations she, too, is horrible. [Herald]

No. The ripped 17-year-old who is continually shirtless in a way that makes you uncomfortable? No. It was just some C-listers who probably have, like, five lines in the movie. Teenage girls still went insane, though. [NBCMiami]
Who's responsible for Timoney's downfall? Timoney of course. [CBS4]
