Miami Comissioner Joe Carollo on Thursday lost yet another attempt to stop his recall. This time, none other than the Florida Supreme Court told him and the city of Miami they have no case. The city of Miami was sued by the political action committee behind the recall in March after City Clerk Todd Hannon […]
There are four candidates in the race for Miami-Dade Commission District 7, but unless you live there, you might only think there are two. Or, at the most, three. Former State Rep. and Pinecrest Mayor Cindy Lerner has been battling it out on social media with Kendall activist and Pets’ Trust co-founder Michael Rosenberg, who […]
Former State Rep. and Pinecrest Mayor Cindy Lerner has had her battles on the dais. And now that she is a candidate for county commission in District 7, someone wants to remind us of how rude she can be and the many times she has shut down and insulted residents. A 10-minute montage of video […]
It didn’t take long for PTA president and candidate Nancy Lawther to respond to the post earlier this week about being the proxy for Miami-Dade School Board Member Larry Feldman, who decided not to run and wants to anoint her instead. And to follow his lying footsteps. In a longish note to “members of the […]
Karma is, indeed, a bitch. Hialeah Mayor Carlos Hernandez — who has famously blocked Ladra from events and expelled her and others from council meetings — was himself intercepted and prevented from entering a meeting Tuesday with Gov. Ron DeSantis and several local mayors to discuss ongoing efforts to curb the spread of COVID19 in […]
The third or fourth mailer from Miami-Dade Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava landed in an otherwise lonely East Kendall mailbox last week. Because none of the other county mayoral candidates had sent a mailer to the three voters at this address until Wednesday, when we got our first piece from Commissioner Esteban “Stevie” Bovo. So, a little […]
It’s not enough to drop charges. The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office should investigate abuses and violations of civil and human rights by police officers during the protests that have come in the wake of abuse and human rights violations exposed by the death of a black man in Minneapolis at the hands of police last […]
Miami-Dade Property Appraiser Pedro García almost got re-elected without any opposition this year — until a surprise candidate came out of nowhere and qualified on Monday. Her name is Marisol Zenteno and she works for the county property appraiser’s office. In other words, García is her boss. Awwwkwaaaard. Zenteno, who makes $77,000 a year as […]
The Third District Court of Appeals has decided that the city of Miami must turn over the 1,900-plus recall signatures against Miami City Commissioner Joe Carollo that have been held hostage for almost three months in a massive — and possibly illegal –– effort by the city to stop the electoral process. A three-judge panel issued its […]
Updated: Following in his brother’s footsteps — again — former Miami-Dade School Board Member and State Rep. Renier Diaz de la Portilla filed to run against Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins this week. If this isn’t another sign of the apocalypse, Ladra doesn’t know what is. Diaz de la Portilla is the youngest brother of the DLP […]
