The Hialeah boletera turned herself in to authorities today — one day after El Nuevo Herald’s dogged reporters find a woman, an Alzheimer’s patient who was put into treatment at an ALF center months ago, whose absentee ballot was apparently forged. But wait, there is more. Another arrest is pending. At least one more. Ladra […]
The first quarter campaign finance reports in the Miami-Dade mayoral race are in and they arguably show what some people have been saying quietly and not-so-quietly since Commission Chairman Joe Martinez formally filed to run in January. Too little, too late. Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez is looking like he is still the golden boy, having […]
Miami-Dade Commissioner “Mayor Sir” Xavier Suarez is likely not going to run for county mayor, despite early indications he would consider it. That’s what most of those close to him say, anyway. But he won’t put the rumor to rest as long as he can use it to light a fire under Mayor Carlos Gimenez‘s, […]
One of the names many political observers thought they would see on the bulging ballot this year is MIA so far. But former State Rep. Marcelo Llorente (Rep., District 116) – who came in third during the Miami-Dade mayoral race last year — says not to count him out just yet. Llorente, who later endorsed […]
Just when you thought the election season in Hialeah could not get more surreal, the Seguro Que Yes council passed su alcaldito Carlos Hernandez’s bogus 2011-2012 city budget Wednesday night calling for the illogical and unnecessary termination of 105 of 271 firefighter paramedic positions despite a packed house of protestors and a barrage of honest, researched, logical and impassioned pleas from residents, employees, […]
Let’s add another tall tale to the long list of lies Hialeah’s alcaldito Carlos Hernandez wants to feed his constituents: The firefighters threatened with mass firings want to raise taxes and won’t make a deal. What a crock from the man they call “the Rock.” But get used to it. He is truth challenged. The […]
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez has been silent on the upcoming elections in Hialeah, where one of the mayoral candidates and several council wannabes worked hard for his campaign and recruited family members and friends — even contributors. But that silence will be broken before the Nov. 1 election. Ladra had to find Gimenez at the […]
Recalled Miami-Dade Commissioner Natacha Seijas has said several times since she came out of hiding a few weeks ago, first in an El Nuevo Herald and then on WQBA, that Mayor Carlos Gimenez — who served on the dais with her for six years — didn’t actually run for his seat. “He didn’t run for […]
Breakfast came with a side of budget matters Tuesday morning for a new county elected and his predecessor at a Miami Lakes Latin American cafeteria — and Ladra is the luckiest dog in the world to have been put in the right place at the right time (more on that later). Miami-Dade Commissioner Esteban Bovo […]
Hours after announcing his new $1.2 million (and counting) senior staff, days after he proposed the elimination of 1,300 positions and cuts for the rest, and exactly one month after he was elected in a close and caustic race, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez pretty much coasted through the first town hall meeting on his hurried […]
