Robaina raises $$$ for incumbents

  • Sumo

He’s baaaaaaaack.

Former Hialeah Mayor Julio Robaina has been lying low since he lost the county mayoral race against Carlos Gimenez in June. Save for one radio interview — where he declined to say who he was going to support (but, c’mon! We know it’s el alcaldito!) — he’s been kind of MIA on the upcoming elections.

Well, missing no more. Robaina is host of a fundraiser tomorrow evening in Miami Lakes, at the Prestige Builders Capital office building, for the four council incumbents and former Hialeah Housing Authority board member Lourdes Lozano, the candidate planted by the incumbents against former councilman Alex “The Professor” Morales (once Frank Lago refused their begging to switch into that seat). How come el alcaldito Carlos Hernandez isn’t on the bill? Is Robaina going to have a separate one for his main protege.

Maybe Hernandez is not part of this one because it includes Councilwoman Vivian Casals-Muñoz, who is not supporting el alcaldito and is not on el alcaldito’s slate. Apparently, Robaina — who is related to Casals-Muñoz through his first marriage — is not happy about that. Ladra can’t help but wonder if this means Robaina is making them kiss and make up.

The party at 16400 SW 59th Avenue is from 5 to 7:30 p.m. and the RSVP is to Andreina Figueroa, one of the consultants Robaina used on his failed campaign. It is at the office of Martin Caparros, his first business partner and a huge contributor to his failed mayoral campaign — and the one who, dicen las malas lenguas, paid for the push poll that el alcaldito released weeks ago and said was done by an “anonymous group of business owners.” Bet a bunch of them will be there.

Ladra wants to be there also. Let’s see if she doesn’t get thrown out (again).

This is the photo referred to in one of the comments. The firefighters like to make graphics with their frustrations. This is about el alcaldito’s violation of people’s rights and the way he feels he owns Hialeah and uses the police department to harass people, like bloggers. Context, people, is a beautiful thing, ain’t it?
