If there’s one thing we can learn for sure from the lawsuit filed Thursday by Miami-Dade School Board Member Raquel Regalado and car mogul and political meddler Norman Braman (more on that later), it’s that esta flaca cubana is not just going to go away. In fact, it looks like the would-be mayoral challenger for […]
The breathy announcement this week with the press conference and the interviews and the hundreds of #LibertyCityRising hashtags could be a sign of good things to come for a long-neglected area that has suffered while other parts of Miami-Dade County have thrived. Or it could be a lot of hot air. But Ladra will tell […]
It seemed for a while that Miami-Dade Commissioner “Mayor Sir” Xavier Suarez had gone soft on the county mayor and was biting his articulately critical tongue for one reason or another. Some speculate he wants his way on the proposed Museum Park underpass. Others say he’s seeking support on some future transportation initiatives or his […]
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 — […]
The takeaway from Wednesday’s Miami-Dade School Board meeting is not that members gave their attorney 20 days to present options on taking legal action against the county mayor or the state or whoever it is that is responsible for the backlog at the Value Adjustment Board that has caused annual budget shortfalls in the hundreds […]
Well, well, well. It appears that there is no huge, life-endangering emergency at the downtown Miami-Dade Civil Courthouse after all.

The county’s assessment […]
Looks like the overpaid Miami-Dade County attorneys are going to have to do some actual work. The county filed a motion Monday to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the United Teachers of Dade against Mayor Carlos “Cry Wolf” Gimenez, blaming him for shortfalls in hundreds of millions in taxes that the Miami-Dade School Board was […]
In what seems like the natural response to a growing organic momentum, Miami-Dade School Board Member Raquel Regalado gave a strong indication Monday on Miami’s increasingly influencing Gray Zone radio program that she would run for county mayor against incumbent Mayor Carlos “Cry Wolf” Gimenez in 2016. While she officially repeated that she is looking […]
Run, Raquel! Run! That’s the sentiment among many political observers, junkies and activists in the 305 — and probably thousands of voters — about Miami-Dade School Board Member Raquel Regalado, whose profile has risen sharply in the last few weeks but says she is undecided about running for mayor of Miami-Dade. Her recent victory over […]
Tuesday’s election isn’t even over and many political observes, pundits, junkies, consultants and potential candidates are already sorta looking further into the future — as in November 2016. Everybody’s talking about who might run against Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos “Cry Wolf” Gimenez, who thinks he’s got it in the bag and really needs to be taught a lesson. And […]
