Doral City Manager Joe Carollo might want to get a bodyguard or some protective custody from the FBI, maybe. That’s because he went on a verbal rampage Tuesday night and threw everybody under the bus in an effort to defend himself against allegations of acting unprofessionally with a business associate and friend of Mayor Luigi […]
More than 190,000 absentee ballots will be mailed today to voters in Miami-Dade County for the Nov. 5 question on the public financing of Jackson Health System’s modernization, which is being pushed by the same team of campaign consultants, more or less, who got Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez re-elected and got last year’s school bond […]
