Let the games begin. Call her candidate Raquel Regalado, as she officially was born Sunday as the Miami-Dade School Board member announced that she will run for Miami-Dade mayor, after all — which was sorta the best kept secret in local politics. It was first outed by Doug Hanks at the Miami Herald that she was […]
Why is everyone freaking out about a future mega mall that sounds like fun out in the middle of nowhere that is probably never going to happen anyway? This American Dream Miami mall that was unveiled this week — after what? A year of planning? — should perhaps be called the American In Your Dreams […]
If there is any one single sign that shows that Miami-Dade School Board Member Raquel Regalado is running for county mayor, it’s the rebuttal she issued Thursday to Mayor Carlos Gimenez‘s State of the County address. Nobody — not even Regalado — can tell me now that she’s still undecided. Somebody had to do it. […]
That was it? Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez finished his State of the County address just a couple hours ago, reading 46 pages worth of words in large font size and all caps without saying much — a feat in and of itself — leaving folks sorta looking left and right for something, well, something more. […]
When Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez gives his State of the County address Thursday morning, expect him to be promoting himself as much as anything else.

As we learn more and more about billionaire Donald Trump‘s proposal to run the Crandon Golf Course on Key Biscayne for the next 99 years, it becomes increasingly difficult to believe either The Donald or his biggest county champion, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos “Mr. Giveaway” Gimenez. Let’s start with Trump, not because it’s any easier to […]

Marcelo Llorente, who came in third in the 2011 recall mayoral race and then endorsed Gimenez. Manzano and Ben Pollara, […]
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos “Mr. Giveaway” Gimenez has apparently never met a billionaire he didn’t like — or didn’t want to give public money and assets to. The latest mayoral mancrush in his stream of bromances with billionaires is with Donald Trump. Hope Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and soccer star David Beckham aren’t too jealous. […]
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos “Cry Wolf” Gimenez collected more than $500,000 over the course of 16 days in January, according to the first campaign report filed for his re-election bid in 2016, which is already headed to history as the most expensive mayoral election in county history. His little group of followers and apologists — which […]
Watch out, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos “Cry Wolf” Gimenez. The results of the enormous poll commissioned by auto mogul and political meddler Norman Braman are out and indicate very good news for not only Miami-Dade School Board Member Raquel Regalado, who now knows she can, indeed, take on the current county mayor. The poll bodes well […]
