While all eyes are on the possible mayoral endorsement in the Hialeah runoff election and who former State Sen. Rudy Garcia — the third place finisher — will eventually back (if he backs anyone), council candidate endorsements are already being sought and traded. And there are a couple of surprises, but let’s go with the […]
People of Hialeah, you need to know you must beware of the powers that be. You live in a police state where harassment of private citizens is not only tolerated, but in fact dictated by su alcaldito Carlos Hernandez. While I am sure Ladra is not the only one to be harassed, followed, intimidated and insulted, she is […]
Ladra’s was practically panting when she put on A Mano Limpia tonight to see who former State Sen. Rudy “The Ghost” Garcia, who came in third in the Hialeah mayoral primary Tuesday, would endorse in the run-off. But he put off any endorsement, remaining the “absentee” leader and candidate even after he is no longer a candidate. How […]
The Hialeah election primary ended Tuesday in a thud heard ’round the City of Progress and met with what can only be called shock and/or total disbelief by the hundreds of supporters and volunteers (not to mention the paid political consultants) that waited for results at the campaign offices of both former State Sen. Rudy Garcia and former […]
The absentee and early voting ballot count for Hialeah is trickling in and it may look like su alcaldito Carlos Hernandez and his incumbent-minus-one-plus-one slate is winning the mayoral race. But looks can be deceiving sometimes. Hernandez and Co. were expected to take the ABs (all but Tony “Phony” Vega, who is losing even there). They are, after all, paying Absentee […]
As everyone had expected and determined, Ladra is going to come out — on Election Day no less — for Raul Martinez in the Hialeah mayoral contest. Maybe it’s a self-fullfilling prophecy. But it’s not because Martinez is bigger than life or better equipped for the enormous task of going through the city’s financial fiasco […]
As if his alcalditowear has something more than a nostalgic and comic value, Hialeah’s alcaldito Carlos Hernandez went bonkers Saturday — the last day of early voting at the JFK library — when he saw me walking by with one of his campaign t-shirts. “She stole my shirt. Call the police,” he told his assistant, Arnie […]
Looks like Hialeah Council President Isis “Gavelgirl” Garcia-Martinez has read the writing on the wall and is beginning to hedge her bets. While she has been campaigning with su alcaldito Carlos Hernandez, she took a little walk through the parking lot Saturday at the JFK library, on the last day of early voting, and had […]
A political commercial that strings together a bunch of the most unfortunate moments in the life of Hialeah Council President Isis “Gavelgirl” Garcia-Martinez is already on YouTube and will be seen on Spanish-language stations tonight and over the weekend. But it’s not her opponent, former Councilwoman Cindy Miel, who is behind the ad. Miel is […]
Ladra will always love the Miami Herald and be grateful for the incredible talent and drive there that has made her who she is today. But times have changed. And it’s a good thing that the Miami Herald’s editorial recommendations in elections are not worth their weight in the paper that prints it anymore. Perhaps […]
