Posted by on Apr 11, 2024 in Art Noriega, Fresh Colada, Miami politics, News | 0 comments

Finally, after an embarrassing misstep last month with a report that was short on numbers and remorse, Miami City Manager Art Noriega has submitted a new report about the way the city handled furniture purchases from his wife’s company since he was appointed — and it sounds a lot like the old report.

It’s also still about $90,000 off the mark.

Miami-Dade District 11 candidates have vast contrast in campaign contributions

Posted by on Apr 9, 2024 in Bryan Paz-Hernandez, District 11, Fresh Colada, Miami-Dade elections, News, Roberto Gonzalez | 0 comments

In the Miami-Dade District 11 race, campaign finance reports filed this week show that incumbent Commissioner Roberto Gonzalez — appointed in November of 2022 to fill the vacancy created by the arrest of Joe Martinez on public corruption charges — has raised more than 16 times as much as his only opponent so far, a schoolteacher who announced he would run for the seat in late February.

But that’s only if you count his campaign account. When you bring his political action committee into it, Gonzalez has raised more than three quarter of a million dollars since January — so it’s 117 times what’s been collected by Bryan Paz-Hernandez, who has only been campaigning for five weeks.

Letter to the editor in support of Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago is laughable

Posted by on Apr 7, 2024 in Coral Gables politics, Fresh Colada, News, Vince Lago | 0 comments

The “undersigned residents of Coral Gables” who supposedly penned the letter to the editor supporting Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago and urging against his recall are a bunch of developers and other Lago lackeys, some with financial interests in the City Beautiful.

The content of the letter (which was probably really written by campaign consultant Jesse Manzano) is laughable enough already without the motivated signatures. It’s also strange that it was published in The Miami Herald Tuesday, a full week after it was first published in Community Newspapers (only the latter printed the names of all 49 “undersigned residents”). That almost never happens.
