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 […]
Karma is, indeed, a bitch.

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez — who has been at odds with Gimenez over COVID […]
Like a rabid dog with a bone that’s too big for him to chew, Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo filed yet another lawsuit Thursday seeking to stop the transfer of the 1,900+ recall petitions against him to the Miami-Dade Elections Department post haste, as ordered by not one but two courts already.
