These are your rights.  They were enshrined in the 1957 Dade County Charter, and in the referendum voted on by the residents of Miami-Dade County on November 6, 2012 to designate the Ethics Commisison to enforce these rights.  You should read them, and become aware of what your rights are, and if you feel that these rights have, or are being violated,  this document can provide you with a basis on which to raise questions as to why they are.

If you don't know your rights, and if you're not willing to demand that they be respected, then the screwing you get, is the screwing you deserve.

I have highlighted several rights that I think you should definitely know and understand.
