This News Miami Dade playlist brings together public hearings, official presentations, budget documents, financial reports, and independent analysis covering government spending throughout Miami-Dade County. The series examines: • Miami-Dade County’s proposed and adopted budgets • The Office of the Mayor and the Board of County Commissioners • Miami-Dade’s constitutional offices • County departments, special districts, authorities, and public agencies • The budgets of Miami-Dade’s 34 municipalities • Property-tax rates, assessments, fees, reserves, debt, and carryover funds • Operating and capital expenditures • Staffing levels, vacancies, salaries, contracts, and procurement • Budget deficits, revenue projections, amendments, and last-minute changes • Differences between proposed budgets and the amounts ultimately adopted • Whether residents received clear and timely information before public votes News Miami Dade reviews official budget books, ordinances, memoranda, audits, meeting agendas, public-hearing recordings, and other government records to explain where public money comes from, how it is allocated, who approves it, and whether the final numbers can be independently traced. This playlist also preserves complete government hearings and presentations as audiovisual sources for News Miami Dade investigations. The objective is to create a permanent public record that residents, journalists, researchers, taxpayers, and public officials can consult when examining government spending. Miami-Dade’s budget is not limited to County Hall. Decisions made by constitutional officers, municipalities, public authorities, special districts, and local agencies can directly affect property taxes, public safety, transportation, infrastructure, housing, parks, sanitation, elections, courts, and essential services. **The public has a right to know:** How much government is spending. Why spending is increasing. What changed before the final vote. Who proposed the changes. Who voted for them. And whether the public was clearly informed.
