Be afraid, people of Miami Beach. Be very afraid. Do you know who is about to become your assistant police chief? Really know? City Manager Jorge Gonzalez has offered Hialeah Police Chief [Abuser] Mark Overton the temporary post. Because, c’mon, everybody knows this is a backroom deal for him to become top banana in a […]
Decisions, decisions. It’s not easy for termed-out politicians to choose the best next step. Take, for example, the case of State Rep. Carlos Lopez-Cantera (Rep., District 112), who is termed out this year and has not filed for any other elected office — yet. The House Majority Leader basically admitted to Ladra Sunday that he […]
Now that Senator Alex Diaz de la Portilla has set his mind and heart on a still-elusive seat in the Florida Senate and abandoned thoughts (for now, anyway) about the house seat in district 112 — being vacated by his term-limited friend Rep. Carlos Lopez Cantera — it’s safe for other Republicans to come out […]
U.S. Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Rep., District 18) kicked off her re-election campaign with a packed Sunday evening event at Miami’s Rusty Pelican where House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (of Virginia’s seventh district) — the “most powerful person in Washington,” according to GQ magazine (and we all know what a political guide that is) — stomped […]
Hialeah CouncilwomanVivian Casals-Muñoz may leave her days of notarizing questionable mortgage documents behind forever to become, drum roll, a lobbyist. Casals-Muñoz, who has been a much higher profile pol after her sweeping November election victory, filed papers Jan. 17 with the Florida Division of Corporations to open a new business called Vivian Casals-Muñoz Consultants, LLC. […]
The sleepy little suburban bliss that is Doral is about to get a muddy political makeover. Even in this year’s cornucopia of campaigns, the Doral city elections are worth watching. Not just because every seat on the council save one is up for grabs (more on that later). Not because the candidates are that engaging […]
Aside from a public appearance or two, like his lonely attendance at the opening of Hialeah Park in December, former Hialeah Mayor Julio Robaina has sort of been MIA since he lost the county mayoral race last year that he was once poised to win. A Florida GOP darling this time last year, Robaina did […]
Ladra got a facebook invitation Tuesday night for the first fund raiser for Miami-Dade School Board Member Renier Diaz de la Portilla in his new, redirected campaign for state rep, and there are no less than 15 names on the host committee, including his colleague, School Board member Martin Karp, Coral Gables architect Javier Salman […]
Ladra’s been asleep at her leash a little too long, but we were resting to catch our breath and strengthen up for the busy and exciting year ahead. That doesn’t mean I’ve been totally absent. A good watchdog always keeps one eye open and it’s been tracking people and reading campaign reports. I had lunch […]
While Ladra has been busily distracted getting her heart broken and her perfectly proportioned rear handed to her in Hialeah, the political telenovela industry has turned its attention to the sleepy city of South Miami, where there is a Valentine’s Day election next week. But someone in Tallahassee has been paying attention. House Majority Leader […]
