It didn’t take long for PTA president and candidate Nancy Lawther to respond to the post earlier this week about being the proxy for Miami-Dade School Board Member Larry Feldman, who decided not to run and wants to anoint her instead.
And to follow his lying footsteps.
In a longish note to “members of the community” she posted on social media Monday, Lawther called the Political Cortadito story about Feldman’s voter fraud — living outside the district in West Kendall — a hit piece and “political smear.”
But nowhere in the four paragraphs, where she talks about her rise from just another PTA mom at her son’s elementary school to being elected president of the county branch, does she dispute a single fact in the story. Not how Feldman fooled voters and actually lives outside the district. Not that she was handpicked to be his proxy.

Nowhere does she talk about the fact that her mentor — who she admits recruited her to be his successor — has lied about his residence for 12 years and lives outside the district he represents. She doesn’t address it or even challenge it at all.
Not. One. Word.
It looks like it’s okay with Shamless Nancy Lawther that Lying Larry Feldman has lied to the same voters she hopes will now elect her. She seems okay with the news that her own school board member, the one whose endorsement she boasts, the one who personally called her up to ask her to run, lives in West Kendall’s District 7?
She says in her note that she has lived in District 9 since 1993. One just has to hope it’s not the same way that Lying Larry lived in Pinecrest for the past 12 years.
Because, turns out, Shameless Nancy is not so honest either.
The note makes reference to her reputation as a law abiding citizen. “During my tenure as Miami-Dade County Council PTA/PTSA President, the security guards nicknamed me ‘the Boy Scout’ because I would not even double park at the School Board building.”
Really? Boy Scout? Do they give out badges for careless driving?
According to records with the Miami-Dade Clerk of Courts, Lawther was charged with careless driving in Pinecrest in August of 2017. That’s not when Lawther, 70, was just learning how to drive or a reckless and wild flower child. No. That was three years ago. At the intersection of U.S. 1 and 120th Street. Ladra wonders if she was late to a PTA meeting.
Not only that, but Lawther got her license suspended in April of 2018 after she failed to attend the traffic school that a judge mandated after she pleaded no contest to the careless driving charge. He changed her disposition from nolle pros to guilty.
So, first she disregards the safety of others with the careless driving, and then she disregards the instructions of a judge.
Shameless Nancy is no Boy Scout. And she shouldn’t be a school board member, either.
