Fuel-depot fiasco sinks PortMiami leadership
TL;DR
Miami‑Dade’s PortMiami chief Jimmy Morales and COO Hydi Webb resigned amid the Fisher Island fuel depot controversy, a failure that could cost taxpayers roughly $400 million and leaves the port’s fuel supply in limbo. The administration faces mounting questions from commissioners and scrutiny over negotiations, with eminent domain floated as a possible long-term remedy while accountability for the debacle remains unresolved.
