Art Acevedo’s brash style choca con los comisionados, days are numbered
Looks like Miami Mayor Francis Suarez won’t have any real challenge in this year’s election. So, fueled by his hashtag-friendly banter and bend on technology and the national media spotlight, he can daydream about higher office.
Everybody’s been buzzing about it for months, speculating mostly that Suarez was setting himself up as a potential VP. That’s why, las malas lenguas say, the celebrity mayor met with United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in April.
Did anybody else see that knife fight between Miami Commissioners Joe Carollo and Alex Diaz de la Portilla at the commission meeting last month? Ladra sure hopes someone in law enforcement was watching.
Sources say there is already an investigation into possible abuse of power and quid pro quo in the negotiations for a juicy marina contract that has been in the wind for years.
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raising a little more than $20,000 in his first month of campaigning, former Miami-Dade Commissioner Bruno Barreiro has withdrawn from the city of Miami commission race in District 3.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.
