Phoenix AZ created the same position, the podcast The Daily did an episode about him.
I found it something of a letdown to listen to because this new department they created to address a growing threat is clearly low on the totem pole and has significant hurdles on getting anything basic done like simply planting a corridor of trees. You’d think they’d have taken heat mitigation more seriously in a city that hot.
I’m pulling for Miami and hope they can do more than just talk about doing something.
next title: mass polluter in chief, lol
