Maybe it’s because Hialeah Mayor Julio Robaina and rapper-turned-political-columnist Luther Campbell, the most colorful of the county mayoral candidates, were no shows, but the forum Monday night presented by DFAM at some union building in Allapattah was a real snoozefest. Don’t take it from me. Ask anyone who was there. Better yet, ask those who […]
Lucky people of Palmetto Bay! You have not one but two newly-elected state representatives looking out for your neighborhood interests in Tallahassee: Rep. Michael Bileca (R, District 117), which encompasses parts of Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay and South Miami and for whom you actually voted, and State Rep. Frank Artiles (R, District 119), whose electors live […]
It’s not official yet, but the Miami Firefighter’s union — which has publicly aired its issues with city commissioner Marc Sarnoff — are most likely going to support one of his challengers, the polished and polite and professional Kate Callahan in the district 2 race.The endorsement is not out, but Robert Suarez, president of Miami […]
Imagine how Jose “Pepe” Cancio felt after the Latin Builders’ Association, in which he has been a member for more than 20 years, first snubbed him at the forum for county mayor and then endorsed Hialeah Mayor Julio Robaina — without even hearing him out. Cancio goes so far as to call the endorsement a […]
Mayoral candidate Carlos Gimenez is apparently a chic magnet. Who knew? As plain and vanilla as some people say our former county commissioner and longtime city of Miami administrator is, apparently he doesn’t need a Mercedes “to impress the ladies,” as that cute little jingle produced by a political opponent goes on the radio. There […]
Well, it’s not exactly news, but Hialeah Mayor Julio Robaina — a cash magnet whether he is getting large wads in unmarked envelopes delivered to a friend’s home or multiple campaign checks — was officially endorsed by the Latin Builders Association, as if the group needed an official press release so everyone would know. Bernie […]
Miami-Dade mayoral hopefuls Jose “Pepe” Cancio and Luther “Luke” Campbell, snubbed from other candidate forums, finally have a platform on which they can finally share the stage and be compared to each other and all the other guys and, finally, one girl (more on that later). Cancio, a businessman and former interim county commission (appointed […]
Ladra has a message for whoever hid behind the name Sandra Lopez to send out an email to Miami Lakes residents last month bashing a local dentist who is leading an effort to recall Mayor Michael “Muscles” Pizzi: Come out, come out, where ever you are. You are going to be outed anyway, so you […]
Hialeah Mayor Julio Robaina, one of the front runners in the race to replace recalled county mayor Carlos Alvarez, has raised more than $611,000 for the election bid. That’s more than twice as much as former commissioner Carlos Gimenez, who resigned this week to run for the top post, and quite a leap frog jump […]
The Miami Lakes dentist leading the recall effort against Mayor Michael “Muscles” Pizzi filed yet another lawsuit Monday stemming from his ongoing public battle with the one-time activist lawyer. But instead of Pizzi, (standing in the photo at the Miami Lakes library with a misspelled PAC sign), David Bennett this time sued Constant Contact for […]
