Gathering photos of our electeds from social media sites to share with you, dear readers, is time consuming and laborious and not all that personally fulfilling, which is why Ladra stopped doing it months ago. But this week marks a special ocassion. We had a few South Florida politicos in D.C. for the inauguration festivities […]
Political photo ops usually slow down in the weeks leading up to the Christmas/Hannukah holiday and New Year’s Eve. But we gotta thank some of our electeds for being addicted to social media. They just can’t stop posting selfies and other promotional pics. God bless ’em. Especially Doral Mayor Luigi “Look At Me” Boria, who […]
Back by popular demand, Political Cortadito’s Pics of the Week returns today with two general themes — early voting and Halloween. You asked for it? You got it. Quite a few people have said that they missed the collection of social media posts by local politicians and government folks, and, well, Ladra loves to give […]
Doral Councilwoman Bettina Rodriguez-Aguilera has decided that she will not run against Miami-Dade Commissioner Jose “Pepe” Diaz after all — but another Doral resident named Marjorie Figueira did. Who? Exactly! All we know right now is that Figueira is a former educator who sued the School Board in 2007, alleging harassment by then Superintendent Rudy Crew. Oh, and […]
Doral Councilwoman Bettina Rodriguez-Aguilera might trade in the drama of her city for the dysfunction of the county: A live push poll last week asked voters if they would vote for her in a race against Miami-Dade Commissioner Jose “Pepe” Diaz. The caller also asked voters if they would be more likely or less likely […]
No, she’s not getting a nose job. Doral Councilwoman Bettina Rodriguez-Aguilera missed the half of the council meeting Wednesday night because she was at Baptist Hospital with an intestinal obstruction. “I do not know how many days I will be here. But I am well taken care off,” she told her Facebook friends Friday morning. […]
This article, without additions from Monday’s meeting, was first published by Ciudad Doral. In the past year, the city of Doral has been whipped by scandal after scandal after scandal, turning it into the laughing stock of the 305. Not an easy feat in a year of three mayors’ arrests and multiple federal investigations elsewhere. […]
The highlight of last week’s pols in pics has to be Gov. Rick Scott and Sen. Marco Rubio, who were in town Friday to attend a Doral rally in support of protesters in Venezuela and demand sanctions from the U.S. government, which some called a publicity stunt and others said was a much needed public […]
A lot of our local electeds went to the Three Kings Parade last Sunday in Little Havana and several of them posted photos of themselves with each other. Nobody was more snapshot happy than Doral Councilwoman Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, who took photos with Sen. Rene Garcia, City Manager and former Miami Mayor Joe Carollo, former […]
Another slow week for electeds as we celebrated New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day and the prolonged vacation people take the days before and after. Very few selfies were posted. But Ladra always finds some. And, this time, the general theme was family. Miami Springs Mayor Zavier Garcia skipped the parties and rang in […]
