Dignity? In this bill? Don’t buy the branding Isn’t it a little adorable when members of Congress dress up immigration bills like they’re offering you a free spa day instead of a seven-year parole sentence with no chance of freedom? Actually, no. It’s sickening. Under fire for having absolutely no spine when it comes to […]
Miami Assistant City Manager Larry Spring, the city’s chief financial officer, announced earlier this month that he was resigning from his position, but it’s not like he has to pack up any boxes. He doesn’t really plan to go anywhere. The city commission could tell the city manager at Thursday’s meeting to enter into a […]
Something stinks at Tropical Park, and it’s not the horse manure. Because while Miami-Dade is sharpening its budget axe and slashing around $40 million from the budget for non-profit grants, a baby nonprofit with barely a bank account, zero track record and no actual contact info — but a politically-connected director — just landed a […]
First step victory for mayoral candidate is appealed The wannabe dictators at Miami City Hall just got a hard slap of reality from the bench. And Ladra is here for it. In a fiery ruling, hot enough to singe the mayor’s eyebrows, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Valerie Manno Schurr on Monday declared what most Miamians already […]

Let’s call it the L’Ego trifecta. The city’s commission latest meeting Tuesday turned into another stop on the revenge tour Lago […]
Newly-elected Miami Commissioner Ralph Rosado has been in office for less than a month. But, already, he somehow knows that the Bayfront Park Management Trust is superfluous and needs to be abolished. Sound familiar? That’s because Commissioner Joe Carollo, who poured perhaps up to $1 million into Rosado’s campaign through his political action committee — […]
South Miami is the only municipality taking it to court Coral Gables might have been the first Miami-Dade city to enter into a formal agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as a 287g, that gives the local police the ability to stop and detain undocumented immigrants during the course of their jobs. But Hialeah […]
Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo may have won the special election in District 4 this week with his puppet candidate, but he lost in court on the same day when the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals basically laughed at his feeble attempt to get out of the $63.5 million jury award given to a pair […]
