A transportation bill passed in the Florida House last week has divided Miami-Dade County's transportation board.  The county's Metropolitan Planning Organization, or MPO, strategizes spending priorities for federally funded transportation projects.  The majority of this 23-member board is made up of the 13 elected county commissioners. But now, a transportation bill sponsored by Miami Rep. Jeanette Núñez plans to whittle down the board to 14 members -- in the hopes that this reorganization will make the board more effective.  As Miami Beach’s representative on the MPO, Mayor Philip Levine explains why he supports this measure.

Philip Levine, Mayor, City of Miami Beach
