Grant Miller

By Grant Miller I was born in Miami-Dade. I went to school here, went to college here, and built my life here. I raised our children here. They went to college here. Miami-Dade is not just a place I write about. It is my home, my community, and the place that has shaped my life. I have watched it grow from a collection of neighborhoods into one of the most important communities in the world. And I believe our greatest days are still ahead.

A great community does not fear scrutiny; it welcomes it. That is what separates a strong community from a weak one. Miami-Dade is one of the most important communities in America, home to nearly three million residents and a government managing more than $13 billion in taxpayer resources each year. In a community of this size and complexity, every decision matters. Every dollar matters. Every promise matters. Yet the public cannot hold government accountable if the public cannot see.

In an automotive market increasingly dominated by $50,000 electric vehicles and oversized SUVs, the return of the Chevrolet Bolt may be one of the smartest decisions General Motors has made in years. The original Bolt developed a loyal following because it delivered something many consumers wanted but few automakers offered: an affordable electric vehicle with practical range.
