Alina Garcia, a longtime Republican attaché who has worked in the elected offices for Congressman David Rivera, former and disgraced State Sen. Frank Artiles, Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Petronis and Miami-Dade Commissioner Esteban “Stevie” Bovo, has moved to the city of Miami to work for Joe Carollo.
For the quinfecta.
Garcia has worked two stints with Bovo, first as chief of staff, then as commission aide. She made $82,000 this year. She found herself jobless after Bovo lost the county mayoral race Nov. 3.
But not for long.
“I worked with Joe Carollo when he was the mayor,” Garcia told Ladra Monday. “He is on the right side of the issues.”
Well, she better buckle up, because the issues in Miami are different. Ladra wonders if she’s been briefed yet on the Ball and Chain war or on the recall defense.
Garcia said she hadn’t started yet and could not provide a date or salary. The paperwork is being processed. But her heart is already in it. She posted on twitter Saturday about Carollo intervening on behalf of some Cuban protesters that were arrested on Saturday.
Aaaaah… those must be the issues she was talking about.
Commissioner Carollo did not return several calls and texts for comment. It’s an interesting hire, however, considering how much he rants about Chavistas in our midst and how close Garcia is to “Nine Lives” Rivera, who has been accused of taking $15 million from the Venezuelan government (and hasn’t thrown Ladra even the tiniest bone).
“I haven’t talked to David in a long time,” she said.
Garcia better keep her resume handy. Carollo, who is still fighting a recall, may not last past this term when it ends in November.
Although maybe then she will go work for Commissioner Alex Diaz de la Portilla. Maybe we can call that the Six Stages of Public Achievement?

Its funny how many in Miami decry the communist
Yet it seems Miami itself is becoming “El Gran Comunismo”
well sad to say that Fidel was right its truing into a mafioso style politics here. So ironic that in their frenzy to hate their enemies, they have become more and more like them.
Maybe she just wants to compete with Gimenez for the same number of state subsidized pensions.
I believe in Alina she has the experience and is a tireless worker. Great Republican who believes in the system.
Alina Specializes in LIE S , Hope Carollo don’t Start with Lies? Carollo for Mayor !
Joe Carollo is following the Ken Russell playbook. Hire useless out of town based staffers.
Alina? Another worthless hire forced on the hapless taxpayers of the City of Miami. Keon Hardemon had an office full of worthless hires. Such a disappointment.
Ladra,
It is funny how trash is recycled here in Miami-Dade. No surprise on my end that the devil Joe Carollo has decided to hire the witch. Alina Garcia is pure evil. She also not even a City of Miami resident. However, her black magic with the absentee ballots and retrieving them from the elderlies in Assisting Living Facilities is why “Crazy Ass” Joe hired her.
Love it, the regime is real!
