The Miami City Commission has controversially approved a pair of 50-story electronic signs to be built atop a parking garage next to the City's Arsht Performing Arts Center.

Miami commissioners passed one of the most controversial zoning issues in years Thursday, when they voted to allow developer Mark Siffin to erect a pair of electronic signs almost 500 feet high that will tower over downtown.

The two-hour discussion -- filled with speeches from union representatives for the project and residents opposing it -- came down to money.
