THE MYTH OF THE CABINET SYSTEM: THE NEED TO RESTRUCTURE FLORIDA'S EXECUTIVE BRANCH* JOSEPH W. LANDERS, JR.** C LAUDE Kirk became Florida's thirty-sixth Governor in 1966, the beneficiary of a bitter split between Democrats Haydon Burns and Robert King High. Kirk, a colorful and unpredictable Republican from Palm Beach, had a stormy four years, partly because of his peri- odic sniping at the six Democratic Cabinet members. The enmity was mutual; they called him "Claudius Maximus" and he called them the "six dwarfs." The first Republican governor since Reconstruction, Kirk openly ridiculed the Cabinet system. But he was neither the first nor the only governor to be critical of Florida's shared executive power. I. FLAWED SYSTEM Reubin Askew, as a member of the state Legislature

BURKE KIBLER Transcribed by: Jill Humphrey D: Once again, we’re here on April 7, 2003, in your office, Mr. Kibler. Last time we were going through some of the governors of Florida that you knew. We talked about Doyle Carlton, or at least he was, of course a candidate for governor. We talked about Farris Bryant a little bit as well. And we were about to get your memories or your impressions of Hayden Burns, I think, when we finished up last time. K: Yes, Hayden I knew not as well as some of the others, though I did know him. I had several clients that were involved with Hayden Burns and were wondering what kind of administration he would have, and Hayden had a mixed administration. I think he was accused of a lot of things and probably was guilty of most of them, though I don’t know that. He did some constructive things. He was strong on road building, which needed to be done and Hayden, I think, proved to be just overreaching in many ways, and he was political and poor in the bad sense of the word. He had a reputation for being a strong executive as a Mayor of Jacksonville and did a lot of things in that community that were worthwhile and people still talk well of, but overall Hayden Burns was not one of our better governors, in my judgment.

  • “CUBANS VOTE CUBAN”: LOCAL POLITICS and LATINO IDENTITY in MIAMI, FLORIDA, 1965 – 1985. Jeanine Navarrete a Dissertation
    “CUBANS VOTE CUBAN”: LOCAL POLITICS AND LATINO IDENTITY IN MIAMI, FLORIDA, 1965 – 1985. Jeanine Navarrete A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Zaragosa Vargas Benjamin Waterhouse Nancy MacLean William Sturkey Katherine Turk © 2016 Jeanine Navarrete ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jeanine Navarrete: “Cubans Vote Cuban”: Local Politics and Latino Identity in Miami, Florida, 1965 – 1985. (Under the direction of Zaragosa Vargas) Miami as a global city in the South provides an important window into understanding the intersection of immigration, civil rights, and Latino political identity during the demographic and political rise of the Sunbelt in the 1960s and 1970s. Local politics in Miami functioned as a microcosm where Latinos vied for power and recognition and as the first institutional point of contact for Cubans becoming new citizens. Focusing primarily on Cuban and other Latino involvement with local government in this critical period, I argue that both as voters and politicians, Cubans in Miami articulated a unique construction of American citizenship that accommodated their biculturalism. Emboldened by the Cuban Adjustment Act, which allowed them to maintain dual citizenship, Miami Cubans not only demanded language accommodations in county services, but expected local political candidates to be well versed in foreign affairs and sensitive to the geopolitics of the Caribbean. Far from the inevitability of demographic change, this dissertation argues that in Miami, Latino political power on Latino terms evolved through the work of Cuban and Puerto Rican civic leaders, progressive diversity policies at the municipal and county level, and widespread voter mobilization enabled by the Voting Rights Act Amendment of 1975.
