Incinerator debate continues, as Miramar officials threaten lawsuit over proposed site | Facing SFL

In this week’s edition of Facing South Florida:

CBS News Miami’s Jim DeFede goes one-on-one with the Mayor of Miramar to discuss the ongoing controversy of where to put the incinerator that needs to be built to replace the one that burned to the ground in Doral more than a year and a half ago. Three sites are being considered, including an abandoned airport site near the Broward County line known as Airport West. It is on the edge of the Everglades and very close to the city of Miramar, which this week threatened to sue if the county moves forward with the Airport West site.

Plus, DeFede goes one-on-one with the Democratic nominee challenging incumbent Republican Senator Rick Scott in November. If Debbie Mucarsel-Powell were to win the race, it would almost certainly allow Democrats to retain control of the Senate, but Senator Scott and the Republicans have a clear advantage. Jim and the former congresswoman discuss how she plans to overcome that advantage.
