The problem with Miami-Dade's public elevators is reaching all the way to the top.
After hearing plenty of complaints, Mayor Carlos Gimenez is establishing the "Countywide Elevator Work Group."
The mayor says aging facilities, poor performance from vendors, and a lack of specialized inspectors contribute to the problem in public housing and government buildings.
In addition to new training for facility managers, the mayor wants to develop a longterm plan for dealing with contractors and maintenance.
