Private detective Joe Carillo is headed to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office this afternoon so they can question him about his investigation of the two women collecting absentee ballots in Hialeah, who were later detained and stopped by police. But Carillo, 57, said he knows he is stepping into a trap and that his sources […]
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez has repeatedly said he doesn’t know the boletera caught red-handed collecting AB ballots in Hialeah this week. But here is our Golden Boy mayor posing for photographs with Daisy Cabrera at the opening of his campaign office on West 68th Street on July 15. She is the second from left standing […]
Well, it looks like Daisy Cabrera, the Hialeah boletera caught red-handed Wednesday by Miami-Dade public corruption detectives collecting 19 ballots in the City of Progress, is not coming out of her apartment just yet. Her attorney, Eric Castillo, spent practically the whole morning there and slipped out with another woman, who everyone thought was Cabrera […]
Daisy Cabrera, the Hialeah boletera caught red-handed Wednesday with 19 ballots in her possession, not 12 as I first reported here, met with her Coral Gables attorney, Eric Castillo, Thursday morning at her apartment on West 41st Street in Hialeah. Some reporters who got there before Ladra reported that she had left with him but […]
Miami-Dade Police have detained and questioned two women in connection with the county mayoral race — caught with a dozen or so absentee ballots in their possession. Ladra is still getting details, which are very slow coming out of the Miami-Dade Public Corruption unit. But according to several sources, the two women were questioned after […]
It’s not like there’s an official contest or anything, but in the last few weeks, Florida Sen. Rene Garcia — chairman of the state’s Hispanic Legislative Caucus — has been destacandose as the most Cuban of the local Cuban-American electeds. Makes me think of that Laurie Anderson song, Quien es Mas Macho? Except I keep […]
Miami-Dade Commission Chairman Joe Martinez told Ladra that he was not going to change his strategy in Hialeah now that the political machinery there has publicly announced its endorsement of Mayor Carlos Gimenez. He said the endorsements last week of Hialeah Mayor Carlos “Castro” Hernandez and the Seguro Que Yes Council — my words, not […]
Ladra is still having a hard time with the fact that her Golden Boy Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez has crossed over to the dark side and has yet to call her or make any effort to denounce the violation of freedom of press that occurred when Hialeah Mayor Carlos “Castro” Hernandez barred me from the […]
A decent crowd of more than two dozen people showed up to the Hialeah Miami Lakes Republican Club Guayabera & Domino Night social fundraiser Saturday to darle agua a las fichas and rub elbows with the Miami-Dade Republican Congressional Three Amigos: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario Diaz-Balart and King David “Nine Lives” Rivera. Except none of the […]
Absentee ballots for the August primary in Miami-Dade started to trickle in the very day they went out and the county has already mailed almost 143,000 of them to voters — indicating that we will very likely beat the 157,000 ABs requested this time two years ago. But it could be even more by November, […]
