You sort of expect to see this kind of post on Facebook by radicals or Proud Boys or something. But not from the elected mayor of Miami-Dade’s second largest and Florida’s sixth largest city. Yet, Esteban Bovo‘s campaign instagram account posted this extremely radical image last week on the account’s story. Not only is Bovo […]

Hialeah council candidate Angelica Pacheco is trying to make herself the victim, but records show that she has victimized others. Pacheco went on Spanish-language TV and a sad Facebook interview in recent days calling the articles in Political Cortadito about her false and paid political attacks. Well, Pacheco lies. A lot. Documents don’t. And Ladra […]
Newly-elected Hialeah Mayor Esteban Bovo replaced Police Chief Sergio Velazquez Monday, but it reportedly had nothing to do with the dressing down of a sergeant at his swearing-in ceremony last week. Bovo relieved Velazquez of duty and named George Fuente the interim chief as he starts a national search for a new permanent top cop. […]
Chief Sergio Velazquez abuses his position to retaliate and embarrass Ending three months of medical leave for an off-duty injury, Hialeah Police Sgt.
