  • The debate over the location of a new trash incinerator in Miami-Dade is heating up again with Eric Trump, the son of the president-elect, joining the fight against it being built in the city of Doral.

The article from WLRN discusses the ongoing controversy surrounding the Miami-Dade County incinerator in Doral, Florida, which has been a point of contention due to its environmental impact and proximity to residential areas. The facility, known for burning trash to generate electricity, has been criticized for its emissions and potential health risks. Recently, the situation has escalated with former President Donald Trump's involvement, as his golf resort in Doral is near the incinerator. Trump has publicly opposed the incinerator, citing concerns over property values and environmental degradation. Local activists and some politicians have leveraged Trump's opposition to push for the facility's closure or relocation, highlighting the broader debate on waste management, environmental justice, and the influence of high-profile figures in local politics.
