The lawsuit against Sasha Tirador and the employee she is paying to run against a political enemy — now why didn’t I think of that — is getting more serious with a request before a judge now to remove a candidate from the ballot.

On the first day of early voting at JFK Library in Hialeah, the city administration called on firefighters to remove signs on the fence that belonged to School Board Member and former State Rep.

The private investigator who finally bust open Pandora’s Box of absentee ballots in Hialeah was questioned at the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office Monday afternoon — and came out with a much better attitude than the one he had going in. Joe Carillo took an awful long time upstairs with investigators and/or prosecutors – ‘specially for […]
Private detective Joe Carillo is headed to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office this afternoon so they can question him about his investigation of the two women collecting absentee ballots in Hialeah, who were later detained and stopped by police.
