Miami-Dade County has officially entered into a business agreement with Rockstar Games.
On a Friday, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava signed a deal allowing Rockstar Games to put a “Welcome to Vice City” sign at the Kaseya Center.
Cava signed the deal under her authority to enter into contracts under $1 million without board approval, which angered some on the Miami-Dade County board.

Commissioner Oliver Gilbert III raised concerns over the mayor’s office’s apparent intent to conduct multiple agreements under $1 million with Rockstar.
“ I do not agree that you can do $900,000 for this, and $700,000 for this, and $400,000 for this, and because you did different agreements, then you don’t have to come before the board.” Gilbert said. “You could just go back to the same vendor for spending authority limitations, and you could just do smaller purchases every time. That wouldn’t make sense.”
According to Miami Herald reporter Doug Hanks, Rockstar Games is paying Miami-Dade County $975k for the sign.

Lettuce Cook: 30 Years Of Funk With Eric “Benny” Bloom
I sat down with trumpet virtuoso Eric “Benny” Bloom to celebrate 30+ years of the legendary funk band, Lettuce. This band has been very important to my live music experience over the years, at different chapters of my life. We talk about their new album 'Cook', why modern concert etiquette is dead (stop yapping!), the golden era of Brooklyn Bowl, and that time I ran into New York Knicks legend John Starks at a Lettuce show in 2013... or sometime around then. Whether you're a jazz nerd or just here for the vibes, Benny breaks down the discipline required to keep a band together for three decades and why they are finally releasing a cookbook.
