Online, in my office and on the dais, I work solely to ensure that my constituents and all the residents of Miami-Dade  County are served with excellence and that their quality of life is always improving.

As Chairman of the Community Empowerment & Economic Development Committee, I have worked with my fellow committee members to sponsor legislation that makes a difference in Miami-Dade County.  We have come a long way and have sparked new interest and pride in our community.

A challenge we are aggressively tackling and overcoming is the rebuilding of our community’s antiquated infrastructure.  Our outdated drainage system needs upgrading to better mitigate flooding problems facing our residents and local businesses.  These capital improvements will also make our area more appealing to new businesses relocating to Miami-Dade County.

Clad in red and white, about 400 seniors headed to the Port of Miami on February 26, 2010 for the hippest party in town - Commissioner Dorrin D. Rolle's Peppermint Ball.

Commissioner Dorrin D. Rolle is calling on all Greek, civic, social, and religious organizations to donate items to Miami-Dade County's Haiti earthquake relief efforts.

Last year, the County Commission adopted a resolution approving the County's oversight of Miami-Dade Blue, a partnership between Miami-Dade County and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida (BCBSF) that brings a comprehensive and low-cost health plan option to about 600,000 uninsured residents. Miami-Dade Blue, which will begin coverage on July 1, 2009, offers health care to individuals under the age of 65 who do not qualify for government health programs, and small businesses.

For more information, contact BCBSF at 1-800-950-8519.

Transportation
Reliable and convenient transit is an important component for any successful metropolitan and Miami-Dade Transit has been working hard to provide top-notch service to residents. Riding public transportation is not only safe, it saves money, eases traffic congestion and air quality. Commissioner Dorrin D. Rolle wants everyone to see for themselves how great Miami-Dade Transit is.
