Watching Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo denounce the repression of the corrupt Cuban regime is like watching elite Cuban officials defend communism while they live like millionaires.
¡Que hipócrita!
Developing story: After only raising a little more than $20,000 in his first month of campaigning, former Miami-Dade Commissioner Bruno Barreiro has withdrawn from the city of Miami commission race in District 3.
Happy Birthday Joe Carollo.
What if there was a virtual campaign forum for an important city election and none of the frontrunners were there? Would that be a good thing or a bad thing? Could one of the also-rans take the opportunity to become a star?
We may just be about to find out.
Campaign contributions marked by many special interest bundles
The long-rumored challenge to Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo is true: Former Miami-Dade Commissioner Bruno Barreiro — whose wife lost to Crazy Joe in 2017 — has filed documents to run for the seat in District 3.
Barreiro, who resigned in 2017 to run for Congress (losing to Maria Elvira Salazar un 2018’s primary) was at City Hall turning his documents in Friday afternoon, but people have been whispering about his candidacy for months. After all, he did support the Carollo recall last year against the man who attacked his wife, Zoraida Barreiro, with very negative mail pieces.
So, remember that sculpture park of dogs and cats that Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo wants to pay almost $1 million for? You know, the one he and his wife Marjorie sprung (read: forced) on the Bayfront Park Management Trust that led to the resignation of one board member?
Well, the city’s Arts in Public Places committee has kind of taken the wind out of his sails.
