“They’re baaaack,” the mailer says on one side, because everyone knows that if you elect former State Rep. and Miami-Dade School Board Member Renier Diaz de la Portilla, you get both of his brothers, too. “The Diaz de la Portillas,” (yes, plural!) says the Halloween-like mailer that landed in mailboxes last week, with Renier looking […]
Former State Rep. and Miami-Dade School Board Member Renier Diaz de la Portilla, who is running for county commission in District 5 against incumbent Eileen Higgins, is not the best looking of the three DLP brothers (that award goes to Miguel). But the 2.0 version on his campaign website is a total babe. Diaz de la […]
Updated: Following in his brother’s footsteps — again — former Miami-Dade School Board Member and State Rep. Renier Diaz de la Portilla filed to run against Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins this week. If this isn’t another sign of the apocalypse, Ladra doesn’t know what is. Diaz de la Portilla is the youngest brother of the DLP […]
UPDATED: Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos “One Term” Curbelo, who was elected to Congress two weeks ago, isn’t expected to resign from his current seat until January. He has said that the December meeting will be his last. But there are several people either jostling or being jostled for the position before Gov. Rick Scott, who […]
City of Miami Assistant City Attorney Veronica “Little Miss Ultra” Diaz and her sleazy attorney boyfriend have poured almost $100,000 into her campaign for judge. Even though she’s been on leave from her $95,000-a-year taxpayer funded job and claimed $47,000 in savings on her financial disclosure form, Diaz has been able to personally invest just […]
A negative mailer arrived in some county mailboxes recently calling former Miami-Dade School Board Member and one-time State Rep. Renier Diaz de la Portilla — who is running for Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge — a three-time loser. “Three strikes and you’re out,” the mailer said, referring to Baby DLP’s trifecta of losses against Marta Perez (School Board, […]
More details were released after we first broke the story on Assistant Miami City Attorney Veronica “Little Miss Ultra” Diaz, the party girl and subject of two ethical investigations who has taken a leave of absence while she runs for judge. And, from what Ladra hears, more is yet to come. The Miami-Dade Commission on […]
While she may have some ultra questionable ethics breaches in her past — steering work to her boyfriend and scoring music festival tickets for herself — Miami Assistant City Attorney Veronica “Little Miss Ultra” Diaz should be held to a higher level of honesty at least in her judicial campaign. She certainly shouldn’t be lying […]
At first blush, it may seem like a difficult decision. But it’s really a no brainer. Because the the circuit court race that pits former School Board Member and State Rep. Renier Diaz de la Portilla against Assistant City of Miami Attorney Veronica Xiques Diaz is really a choice between a promise and a puppet. Sure, Baby DLP can be […]
Freshmen State Reps. Jose Javier Rodriguez and Manny Diaz, Jr., might breathe a sigh of relief because, while they still may get challenged this year — and we know that Rodriguez will face Republican Daniel Diaz Leyva — they won’t have to wage ugly, harsh rematches with the Diaz de la Portilla brothers. That’s because […]
