Two months after her plan to build a new garbage incinerator came under attack by President Donald Trump’s son, Miami-Dade’s mayor is dropping her longtime fight for a new trash-burning facility and instead wants the county to explore building a new landfill somewhere else in Florida.

The Florida mayor said the threat of legal challenges and other expenses made building a new waste-to-energy facility too difficult. She now recommends landfilling to meet long-term capacity needs.

A Shloshim Memorial Service honoring the life of Lois May Jaffin Levine, the mother of Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, was held at Chabad Chayil in Miami-Dade North, Florida.

Broward residents, along with the mayors of Miramar and Doral, showed up at county hall to ensure their voices were heard.

After nearly two years of Miami Dade County considering locations for its new billion-dollar incinerator, the county is going back to the drawing board. Now, commissioners say a final vote is expected during a late February meeting.
