The Hialeah Housing Authority opened its process again last week for folks to apply for Section 8 housing in the City of Retrogress and got so many applicants, the website shut down. The city has extended the deadline until today. But what city officials are really doing is creating a whole new crop of absentee […]
Developers who want to build that Disneyesque-looking Skyrise Miami building downtown will have $2 million less for construction, now that Florida Gov. Rick Scott included that little legislative gift in the budget items he vetoed on Monday. While this year’s $77 billion budget may have set a state record, these $69 million in cuts may […]
Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who wants to take his old job away from Gov. Rick Scott, is going to open not one but two local campaign offices, now that Miami-Dade is his new home. And he is bringing his smoking hot wife, businesswoman Carole Crist Rome, who is not usually trotted out to campaign events […]
Miami-Dade Democratic Party Chairwoman and Florida Democratic Party Vice Chair Annette Taddeo — whose name has recently been floated as a possible LG on the Democratic ticket — seemed to indicate Monday that she was not sure the top billing would belong to former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, who can’t make up his mind what […]
I gotta admit, it sounds kinda strange to hear Republican Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera — who is doing radio rounds this week to push the guv’s campaign — defend former Democrat Sen.

Marco Rubio, who were in town Friday to attend a Doral rally in support of protesters in Venezuela and demand sanctions from the U.S. government, which some called a publicity stunt and others said was a much needed public […]
Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Lieutenant Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera joined the bevy of local electeds to blast the Venezuelan government’s crackdown on protesters Friday — more than two weeks after the first two of at least 16 anti-government protesters killed and about a month after the clashes started. They joined Sen. Marco Rubio, who gave […]
A lot of our local electeds went to the Three Kings Parade last Sunday in Little Havana and several of them posted photos of themselves with each other. Nobody was more snapshot happy than Doral Councilwoman Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, who took photos with Sen. Rene Garcia, City Manager and former Miami Mayor Joe Carollo, former […]
Well, it happened. After reportedly much pressure, and just as the leaks predicted Monday, Gov. Rick Scott picked former State Rep. and Miami-Dade Property Appraiser Carlos “C-Lo” Lopez-Cantera as his No. 2 Tuesday. But how important is that appointed job – outside the campaign, that is – especially since the state has seemingly been running fine without one for 10 […]
