February 24, 200818 yr I live less than 2 miles from Braman Honda, but when my mom wanted to get a Honda 8 years ago she chose to get it at Maroone instead because of this turd.
April 14, 200818 yr On January 4, 2008, former Philadelphia Eagles owner and current luxury auto dealer Norman Braman announced that a political action committee he created has purchased 175 spots on English and Spanish stations in advance of the county commission vote Thursday. The ads attack the recent vote that the Miami-Dade commissioners passed which paved way for future projects like a New Marlins Stadium, a soccer stadium for a MLS expansion team, a tunnel that leads to the Port of Miami, and streetcar among others. Braman has pointed out that Dolphin Stadium was built without taxpayer dollars, the Marlins should do the same. These property taxes were intended for the poor. The Marlins are not poor. Braman has a reputation for digging into his own pockets to battle tax increases and fight government waste. ((One of reasons Braman seeking to stop this is because some of the land that is being used is land the Braham had been considering for the use of his own private projects)). [6] Despite his public rant against the Marlins stadium deal and new downtown developments, its highly unlikely that the deal won't get done mainly because of approval to the outline of a deal and prior passed votes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Miami_stadium
April 14, 200818 yr look at line two from bottom up ((Braman seeking to stop this is because some of the land that is being used is land the Braham had been considering for the use of his own private projects)) he want win so he buy land from city
April 14, 200818 yr Here is the latest news from Braman. It was his own lawyers during the commission meetings that kept saying that they should wait 90 days because this could be resolved quickly, and what an open and shut case it was, etc. Now he is trying to get the court to delay the trial. Seems to me that this indicates he knows he has no real case here, but his only option at this point is to be a pest and drag things out as long as possible. Any other takes on this from you folks with legal backgrounds? http://www.miamiherald.com/news/miami_dade/story/494746.html Dade mayor blasts delay of Braman suit Posted on Mon, Apr. 14, 2008Digg del.icio.us AIM reprint print email It's unusual for Miami-Dade County to comment on pending litigation, let alone issue a press release from the mayor's office. Yet when it comes to car dealer Norman Braman's hot-button lawsuit aiming to derail the city-county's $3 billion megaplan, which includes a new Florida Marlins baseball stadium, the rules change. After Braman's legal team asked to delay the Sept. 8 trial date, the county pounced on an apparent contradiction: When he filed suit, Braman said he wanted a speedy trial. ''Mr. Braman's request to delay resolution of this case places a huge strain on government as we try to lay the groundwork for Miami-Dade County's future prosperity,'' Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez wrote. ``As far as I am concerned, justice delayed is justice denied.'' Alvarez spokeswoman Victoria Mallette noted that the county is not commenting on the lawsuit's substance -- only pointing out that county workers have exhaustively delivered 24,000 documents to the Braman team. Responded Braman attorney Stanley Krieger: ``You think [Alvarez's] feet are burning a little bit?'' -- CHARLES RABIN
May 2, 200818 yr court day almost here it set for may 14 if their no delay and this issue will be behind us
May 6, 200818 yr Well, being that the lawsuit wants to overturn the whole package, meaning the number of massive projects waiting to be implemented, there's always that risk that it could be jeopardized. If the issue was just about the stadium then that alone would be judged on its merit. But as it is about the whole megadeal, there is that chance that one or two iffy items could cause the others to collapse. Braman has to be thinking that or he would not sue. Another possibility is if this is ruled illegal then the mega package would simply be broken up and then the individual items would be debated and voted on. IOW, there's a good chance that at least some of the items in the megadeal would become reality, regardless of the lawsuit. The real question is the cost, and as the airport has shown, a huge one.

May 8, 200818 yr CBS 4 News: Marlins stadium issue with Braman I caught the end of it but I heard that a judge has ruled in favor of braman saying that the money the county put towards the marlins and the grants or whatever needs to be voted on basically by the people so they have a say, and their is a trial set for July 1st.. anybody got some better info?
May 8, 200818 yr Braman Lawsuit Against Stadium Moves Forward MIAMI (CBS4) ― Auto magnate Norman Braman recently sued Miami-Dade to kill a $3- billion public works megaplan, which includes building a Marlin baseball stadium where once stood the Orange Bowl. At a hearing on Thursday, a Miami-Dade judge ruled in favor of the lawsuit moving forward. Plantiff's attorney Bob Martinez told CBS4 Liv Davalos that the judge sided with the complaint, "that public money, public credit to aid a private party" is being questioned. It was only last month when Miami-Dade commissioners approved what amounts to a fifty-fifty split of the coveted off-duty security work for Marlins games if a new stadium opens in 2011. Miami-Dade County police would handle work inside while the City of Miami police would handle the work outside. But there are still deeper cracks in the proposed $525-million stadium deal. Some commissioners still argue it's a waste and misuse of taxpayer money. In short, there are still plenty of bases to cross and agreements to be sealed. If the votes aren't there, or the courts say foul, there's big trouble. http://cbs4.com/local/miami.dade.commission.2.718928.html
May 8, 200818 yr The only quote from this article is from one of Braman's lawyers, so of course he's going to make it out like a big victory, when it was probably more of a procedural hearing. I think most assumed that this would be going to trial. I'm sure that the city and county lawyers are prepared for this.
May 8, 200818 yr i think this was pretrial hearing but this could delay of sign paper in july by county and city,marlins if trial in july
