An investigation has concluded that Miami-Dade Commission Chairman Joe Martinez did not underpay when he purchased a vacant lot from one of the county’s biggest developers in 2004.
An inspector general’s report concludes that Miami-Dade Commission Chairman Joe Martinez received no special privileges and ”did not underpay” when he purchased a vacant lot from one of the county’s biggest home developers in 2004.
The report comes in the wake of a Dec. 12 Miami Herald article in which real estate experts had described the deal’s terms as favorable to the commissioner — ”the kind of terms you would do for a relative or a friend,” one analyst had said.
