Why does he have a Wikipedia page?

edit

He was a Florida state representative for 8 years and a county commissioner for 4 yrs. That's it. He didn't run for another term as commissioner, likely due to the fact that taxpayers were not happy to find that he'd used $30,000 of taxpayer money towards getting his Harvard degree (Miami Herald 8/26/15 "Miami-dade Commissioner Juan Carlos Zapata took $30K for Harvard degree"). He paid the money back due to public backlash. If you think he deserves a page, the external link to district 11 needs to be deleted as it now refers to his successor Joe Martinez.

Also the external link vote smart should be deleted as it says he was born in Lima, Peru, and gives no additional useful info Beaglemix (talk) 18:07, 9 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
