Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos Curbelo seems to have an excuse for everything. He hides his lobbying firm under his wife’s name, giving him a legal (if illegitimate) out from having to disclose his client list, and he whines about how he had to transfer his company to Cecilia Curbelo after he went to work […]
Miami-Dade Legislative Delegation Director Alex Dominguez is leaving the post he’s had for almost six years and going to AT&T as the new Regional Director of External Affairs for City of Miami, South Miami-Dade County and Monroe County. “In his position, Mr. Dominguez will handle legislative and community affairs initiatives.

Legendary crooner Pat Boone, who is now an advocate for the senior citizen agenda, has sent Congressional candidate Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo a Love Letter in the Sound, of sorts.
