Hialeah voters should tune into Actualidad radio tomorrow (1040 AM) and hear acting alcaldito Carlos Hernandez defend his flip flops on financial information and lack of transparency and his false accusation that I am a paid staffer of the Raul Martinez mayoral campaign. He told me that to my face at Tuesday’s meeting after he […]
Though he has been a non candidate for weeks, State Rep. Eddy Gonzalez formally dropped out of the Hialeah mayoral race Thursday with a statement on his facebook page that took a swipe at the interim incumbent running for re-election. What it didn’t say is that Gonzalez still plans to run for the seat — […]
Campaign teams are forming as paid political operatives attach themselves to candidates and slates in the upcoming Hialeah elections. Most recently, interim alcaldito Carlos Hernandez and Council President Isis “Gavelgirl” Garcia-Martinez were spotted at a Starbuck’s on West 49th Street Thursday morning with absentee ballot queen Sasha Tirador and gypsy con artist and Tiradorita-in-Training Vanessa […]
Looks like the slate of recycled politicians running for office again is a full house in Hialeah: two former mayors and three council campaign veterans makes for a very nice hand. I’ll stay. So what if they did not drive in together to the Hialeah city council meeting Tuesday? If it looks like a slate, […]
Hialeah’s city council meetings are not only wonderful classes on city history and political plotting, they also provide us with little unexpected treats that may shed light on upcoming elections.

Frank Lago, the chief of staff to Sweetwater Mayor Manny Maroño, has officially filed to run for Hialeah council — challenging the weakest of the council members on the dais. That is, if Paul Henrnadez — appointed two months ago to fill the vacancy created when the council president was appointed mayor — even runs. […]
The plot thickens like un tamal en cazuela on As Hialeah Churns. When last we left our City of Retrogress, city officials and acting alcaldito Carlos Hernandez — appointed by the lying, thieving former mayor, a political powerhouse that basically imploded in a battle of good versus evil when he tried to seek a higher […]
Yes, people of Hialeah: Former city councilman and current candidate Alex Morales is your neighbor. He moved back into the city last August, traded his half million Miami Lakes house with a yard and a wife for a one-bedroom apartment across from Tinta Latina Tattoo Studio and next to an abandoned foreclosed office building where […]
One of the people with eyes on the dais at Hialeah City Hall is a former veteran water department employee who has been campaigning and had a pretty big, volunteer t-shirted team and a banner at the city’s Fourth of July celebration earlier this month. But how did Daisy Castellanos pay for those yellow shirts […]
