Who’s in charge when Miami-Dade faces a crisis?
An open mic captured a tense moment following the deadly cargo plane crash at Miami International Airport.
Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz spoke first, despite reporters being told the mayor would go first.

Now, the disagreement is raising a bigger question:
