Will Haitian Voters Elect Kevin Burns North Miami Mayor This Time?

Former North Miami mayor Kevin Burns is facing Dr. Smith Joseph in a runoff for mayor. Acting mayor Phillip Bien-Aime has been substituting for Mayor Lucille Tondreau, arrested on mortgage fraud charges. Last year Tondreau beat Burns in a runoff for mayor.

Because Burns is white many feel it is an obstacle in a largely Black and Haitian electorate, but the unethical behavior of Tondreau may make voters rethink their racial bias.

She worked with Karl Oreste, O.J. Odunna and Kelly Augustin.

It was also reported that Tondreau used some of that money to open in investment account, money she used later for her personal use.

Lucie Tondreau was in an official business for the city on Monday as the FBI agents came to arrest her at her home. On Tuesday, as she arrived in town, she turned herself in to the authorities.
