Miami Commission candidate Ralph Rosado — who is running in the special election June 3 to replace the late commissioner Manolo Reyes — may be a habitual liar. Last week, Rosado blatantly told Ladra that Commissioner Joe Carollo was not at the park with him, directing his campaign video, on Thursday. But there is a candid […]
In the race to replace the late Miami Commissioner Manolo Reyes in District 4, Ralph Rosado has Joe Carollo on his side and Jose Regalado has Chacha Reyes, the late commissioner’s widow on his. It’s no contest. The voice of Chacha Reyes is on the radio practically every hour in Spanish, urging voters to support […]
His grandchildren already call it “Abue’s Park.” Now, it’s official. The Miami City Commission on Thursday renamed West End Park as Manolo Reyes Park to honor the popular and beloved District 4 commissioner — who his grandchildren called “Abue” for abuelo — who died earlier this month at the age of 80 after battling health […]
It’s in their DNA. Jose Regalado, the son of former Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado, who is now the Miami-Dade property appraiser, and brother of Miami-Dade Commissioner Raquel Regalado, a former school board member, resigned from his job as the assistant building director with the city of Miami Monday to run for commission in District 4, where there […]
Flowers sat on the dais Thursday in the space where Miami Commissioner Manolo Reyes usually sat as his colleagues voted to hold a special election June 3 to replace him.

Memorial services for the popular public servant Tuesday, Wednesday After a battle against cancer, Miami Commissioner Manolo Reyes — who lived his lifelong dream when he was elected in 2017 — died after being hospitalized late last week, hours after several speakers at the commission meeting Thursday where he was absent, sent him and his […]
The city commission meeting Thursday turned into a shouting match between commissioners Miguel “Mike” Gabela and Manolo Reyes basically because of the contentious fight on the self-serving lifetime pensions for electeds that Gabela has championed twice before changing his mind, also twice. Gabela said he stood by the principle of his idea, which was to […]
If there was ever something that should go to a referendum for voter approval, it is pensions for our electeds. And Miami city commissioners should go to the ballot if they want to reward their behavior and “hard work” with lucrative lifetime retirement benefits. It’s not too late. The deadline for municipalities to submit a […]

But a closer look at the agenda reveals a bunch of items […]
