It was a busy week for Miami-Dade Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava, who was at all the parades, a Catalyst Miami event, the transportation summit and the opening of her office in Homestead. But it was a busy week on Instagram, twitter and Facebook, as electeds took part in MLK events, a rodeo, two parades — […]
Pete Cabrera’s move to fire the city clerk will hinge on one vote — Mayor Luigi Boria’s. But the two men have one thing in common: Campaign consultant Sasha Tirador. The war between newly elected Doral Councilman Pete Cabrera and City Clerk Barbara Herrera has escalated pretty quickly, even for Doral’s standards. Cabrera, who won […]
Political photo ops usually slow down in the weeks leading up to the Christmas/Hannukah holiday and New Year’s Eve. But we gotta thank some of our electeds for being addicted to social media. They just can’t stop posting selfies and other promotional pics. God bless ’em. Especially Doral Mayor Luigi “Look At Me” Boria, who […]
Newly-elected Doral Councilman Pete Cabrera has not been on the job for a month even, and already he wants to fire City Clerk Barbara Herrera. Is he a savvy professional businessman who knows when administrative changes need to be made? Or is this, as some believe, the first salvo in a series of attempts to restructure […]
Mayor Luigi “Look at Me” Boria has gotten into the publishing business — with a monthly newsletter he is now sending online. And he’s not even up for re-election this year. Volume One of “The Mayoral Monthly” was sent last week, chock full of pictures and propaganda about the wonderful things that Luigi has done […]
If they thought they had neutralized former Doral City Manager Joe Carollo when they fired him, Mayor Luigi Boria and the councilwomen who voted for his ouster have another thing coming.

The city of Doral — which has gone through three city managers in 18 months — will take up to 60 days to find the right replacement for its last administrator, former Miami Mayor Joe Carollo, who was fired Monday in a 3/2 vote. One candidate, however, has already said ‘Thanks but no thanks.’ Mayor […]
As expected, Doral City Manager Joe Carollo was fired Monday in a special meeting called by Vice Mayor Christi Fraga. Public Works Director Jose Olivo will serve as interim manager until Mayor Luigi Boria — who looked like it was Christmas — nominates someone new. The council talked about having someone in place in 30 […]
Doral City Manager Joe Carollo, who survived an attempt by Mayor Luigi Boria to oust him last October, says he will likely be out of a job Monday. The common perception is that Councilwoman Christy Fraga, who had voted against Carollo’s firing the first round in October, has changed her mind and will become the […]
This article, without additions from Monday’s meeting, was first published by Ciudad Doral. In the past year, the city of Doral has been whipped by scandal after scandal after scandal, turning it into the laughing stock of the 305. Not an easy feat in a year of three mayors’ arrests and multiple federal investigations elsewhere. […]
