Even after he’s long gone, former Coral Gables City Manager Pat Salerno‘s pet employees keep reaping the benefits of kissing his 
ring.
Coral Gables Interim City Manager Carmen Olazabal, who was in cahoots with her lying boss before he resigned and even made excuses for his cover up of a visibility issue on Ponce de Leon Boulevard, got a 10 percent raise while she fills his shoes. The hike was approved by commissioners at a special meeting last week.
That’s on top of the 4% race that she got from Salerno when he gave parting salary hike gifts to his pet employees on his last day.
Olazabal will also now contribute 10 percent less to pension plan than she did before, with the city taking up the slack. Olazabal will go from contributing 15% to contributing 5%, which is standard for the city’s charter positions.
All together that results in almost a 25% raise in salary since Salerno resigned.

Ladra:
Why don’t you look further into Elsa Jaramillo-Velez and Diana Gomez? I have just made aware by some City of Miami employees that Ms. Gomez has a violent past. She had a physical altercation with a former Finance Department employee. The files never made it into her personnel file, but was kept in some files over at the Office of Labor Relations. Who covered up the incident? Your girl, Elsa.
I am also getting some information that Elsa exploited her position in Miami over a personal matter. As soon as I get information on that, I will let you know.
