He must be desperate. And it’s not like State Rep. Eddy “Here Comes Hialeah” Gonzalez can actually run on his own track record in his bold (read: WTF?) attempt to become the most unqualified ever Miami-Dade Property Appraiser. So Gonzalez — who came in 10 points behind former Property Appraiser Pedro Garcia in the August primary — […]
Spotted Thursday morning strategizing over breakfast at Green Gables Cafe: State Rep. Jose Felix “One More Pepe” Diaz and fellow Republican and wannabe representative Daniel Diaz Leyva, the lobbyist running against Democrat State Rep. Jose Javier “J-Rod” Rodriguez in House district 112. It’s only fair. Danny Boy here worked on Rep. “Pepe” Diaz’s 2010 and […]
Cuter Bay Mayor Ed “Mac” MacDougall has no hard feelings after losing the Republican primary for the congressional district 26 race last month. Really. And considering he was the old gringo who was supposed to get single digit dust, he sorta made history by coming in second in a predominantly Hispanic district. But “Big Mac […]
Does Coral Gables have a new city manager? Maybe. Maybe not. City Commissioners chose a new top administrator last week, but a routine background check turned up a 2011 child abuse charge that may give them a cause to take another look. James Beard said that the “bogus charge” was dismissed and that he had already explained […]
There is no debate date set yet between the two candidates in what has been deemed as one of the most closely watched and flippable congressional races in the country, but the themes in Florida’s District 26 are already going from local to national. It’s not like challenger Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo is going to completely drop […]
Common Sense NOW, the PAC that helped get Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos “Cry Wolf” Gimenez elected, has spent about $34,000 this year — all on polls and “data research,” which is a fancy way to say polling. The most recent payments of $3,000 a piece each were made Aug. 6 and Aug. 19, which came after […]
Ding, dong, the witch ain’t dead, folks. She’s only injured. Miami-Dade Commission Vice Chair Lynda Bell may have been defeated a the polls last week, bounced by voters that were tired of her self-serving, anti-employee rule. But Commissioner-elect Daniella Levine Cava is not sworn in until mid-November, which means Bell is still a vote on […]
After winning the primary Tuesday for the Republican spot in the congressional race for District 26, Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo could have and should have immediately disclosed his client list at Capitol Gains — the one he hides under his wife’s name — and diffused any controversy that is likely going to be a major campaign […]
UPDATED: Three of Miami-Dade County’s 10 employee labor unions have reached tentative agreements with a suddenly friendlier administration that they now have to take before their members for approval. Three more meetings are scheduled for today and it certainly looks like Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos “Cry Wolf” Gimenez is more eager these days to strike deals. […]
Commissioner-elect Daniella Levine Cava is not the only one who won Tuesday when she was able to get 52% of the vote in District 8 over incumbent Miami-Dade Commission Vice Chair Lynda Bell. And Bell is not the only one who lost something. Like always, there will be those who benefit from this regime change […]
