Union releases web video critical of administration
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.
Timing is suspect; alleged violation was six months ago
No, it’s not a resignation letter. A missive sent to Coral Gables residents by Mayor Vince Lago Thursday starts like he might be announcing his swan song.
“Before anything else,” it starts, “I want to thank you for everything you do to make The City Beautiful the greatest place in America.”
Deposition: Mayor used his influence with permitting, parking
In yet another effort to thwart a recall effort he likes to belittle, Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago has funded a phone bank to call voters and tell them not to sign the petition.
One of those calls went to Commissioner Melissa Castro over the weekend. She was out of town, on an impromptu vacation with her son, but saw the call came from a 786 number and answered it, thinking it was something important from back home.
