Others like J.C. Bermudez. Because he hasn’t paid me a dime. He hasn’t even advertised in Political Cortadito, which is a shame now that everyone in Doral is reading it today (you snooze, you lose). But the reason I wrote about the election fraud investigation in Doral last week is because (1) the link to Boria’s family exists and had been overlooked by the first report; (2) Ladra hounds Boria because he deserves it; this isn’t the first time I’ve written critically of him (do a search; I dare you) and (3) election fraud is one of Ladra’s pet peeves.

The investigation into possible election fraud had already been reported by NBC6 reporter Willard Shepard, who earlier exposed that eight voters were registered to vote at an office building where nobody is permitted to live — so any votes would be illegal and invalid. It picqued my curiousity. And a quick look at public records showed that the same address was in Boria’s campaign finance report — the address used by his brother-in-law, Miguel Hervas, for a $200 donation (which now seems kinda cheap next to the $255,000 that Boria loaned himself for the campaign).
Can anyone honestly tell me that ain’t a curiosity that ought to be reported? I am quite sure that Boria would expect someone to report it if Bermudez had an in law whose business address was there. But he doesn’t. Boria does.
Boria — who will spend close to $1 million (on paper) by the time this election is over — said in his
little news conference that the proof I was paid for the post is somehow found in the fact that I didn’t use Hervas’ full home address. How does that make any sense at all? No reason to publish the man’s entire address so I just published what street his home is on, not the number on his house. This is generally a standard practice in journalism. We used to even say the 123 hundred block of Y street, to protect people’s privacy. And I only wrote about his home at all to impress that Miguel Hervas is, indeed, registered to vote at his home and not the illegal office location.
“But it is curious that it is his business address — the mayor’s brother-in-law’s business address — where these other alleged voters are registered,” Ladra mused. And I stand by that today. It is freaking curious.
“It is also worth noting that Absentee Ballot Queen Sasha Tirador, who the state attorney has investigated for AB fraud before, is running Boria’s campaign,” Ladra followed. And I stand by that, too. And, I’ll be damned, it is also worth noting that Tirador worked for two of the other people who made the quid pro quo allegations against me. Didn’t Carlos Hernandez have a press conference, too?
Man, I would be as rich as Brian Goldmeier if I really had worked for all those candidates every loser claims I worked for.
But while we can joke about these ridiculous and obviously desperate lies, they must also be taken seriously. Because it is a serious problem when a candidate for office — an elected incumbent at that — tries to discredit someone and sully someone’s hard earned reputation to save their own political skin.
It is just another reason why Boria is unfit to be mayor of Doral, not that we needed one.
And nobody had to pay me to say that. I do it happily for free. Because this guy is a clown.
Nobody had to pay me to say that either.
