Regalado took event organizers to task for failing to address an inspected and identified weak spot in the fence where Contemporary Services Corporation security guard Erica Mack, 28, was trampled by an unruly mob. Mack suffered serious brain hemorrhaging in the incident and reportedly faces a long recovery.
Although one commissioner joined Regalado in opposing an Ultra Music Festival 2015, four others voted to keep the festival at Miami’s downtown Bayfront Park. The event’s organizers successfully argued that, along with its economic benefits, the event has enhanced Miami’s international allure. The 2015 event is set for March 27-29.
