DAY 318 - WHO'S WORSE?

We all know Mayor Alvarez proposed tax increases, and the County Commission approved them.

But Tomas Regalado refuses to admit that City of Miami taxpayers will pay MORE in increased "fees" and other taxes to the City.

"The budget we approved did not have any tax increase," says Mayor Regalado.

The Herald differs:

"Earlier Monday, commissioners passed a series of fee hikes and fines setting the stage for the 2:30 a.m. budget approval."

Higher FEES and FINES must not mean taxes.

"Tuesday's vote means a higher tax bill for about one in five in a city of 127,000 homeowners."

So Tomasito, what does "a higher tax bill" mean exactly?

Bottom line: people will pay MORE, and Tomasito did nothing to lower the City millage rate.

Tomasito will also not use his mayoral powers to reign in Marc Sarnoff and stop the shenanigans and chicanery at the C.R.A.

From the Herald:

Even as commissioners propped up the city's 2011 budget with redevelopment money, they chastised the agency's new executive director [Billboard Dutch Boy Bockweg] for failing to provide them with employee salaries -- and then refused to approve his budget.

CRA Executive Director Pieter Bockweg was berated by the commission for not offering a line-item account of the $80 million combined budgets he oversees at two of the city's three redevelopment agencies.

When Commissioner Frank Carollo pushed Bockweg on why the CRA payroll increased by 8 percent even as city employees suffered significant pay cuts, Bockweg said it was to cover expected hires and his yet-to-be approved salary -- a point of contention well before the meeting.
Why should Bockweg care when he knows that Sarnoff has his back?

And does the C.R.A. money go toward remedying "slum and blight?"

Nope!

It goes to pay Bockweg, his BMW, and the other Sarnoff cronies at the C.R.A.

Worse yet,

Tomasito does not have the "cojones" to stand up to him.

And Braman is fixated with taking out Mayor Alvarez while the stealing at the C.R.A. goes on under his nose.

So who's worse?

Alvarez for proposing tax increases and going through with them?

Or Tomasito for continually lying to us all along?

At Monday's Budget hearing, Myrtle, the lady from Budget explained to the Commission that the County Tax Certificates were not bringing in anticipated revenues. At that point in time Chairman Sarnoff asked for an explanation of 'exactly what are tax certificates', and asked that an explanation be given to the peeoples. It now appears that he really didn't give a hoot about the peeoples, since he has received numerous pesky requests from the County to pay his taxes or tax certificates were going to be issued on his two properties. When Commissioner Suarez explained to him that they were good investments he must have thought it a good idea to not pay his property taxes and thereby have tax certificates issued against his property which he could then buy as a 'good investment'. Marky forget what Larry Spring, C.F.O. told you....this is NOT how it works. Anyway read more about this DEAD BEAT at:

Mayor Corruptalado is worse than Mayor Alvarez. If Norman Braman wants to really push a recall drive why not include Mayor Corruptalado. This man is evil, a thief, liar, backstabber, cheater, and conniving man. The County Mayor and County Commisioners must know that Mayor Corruptalado met with Braman to start the recall drive in his efforts to distract any attention from what is happening at the City of Miami.

MAYOR CORRUPTALADO IS YOUR NAME Tomas Regalado. And please do not call yourself a journalist. Your are nothing, but a freeloader who can't even think for yourself or write your own stories.

Is Sarnoff going to be recalled or will he go peacefully?

Anonymous said...

Commissioner Liaroff can't tell the difference between truth or fiction, sanity or insanity, or his balls from asshole (in his case he has none). As you can see, a man who is deeply mentally disturbed can never go away peacefully.

Anonymous said...

Braman has a personal vendetta against Alvarez and just needed an excuse for a recall.

He doesn't have the balls to touch Corruptalado because Gutierrez has shit on him.

Recall Sarnoff!

Peacefully or otherwise. Just make him go away!

During Monday's Budget Meeting move the stream video to 7:16:00 and hear our wonderful Mayor Corruptalado justifing the City's budgeted lobbying expenses of over$200,000. He stated that he and Commissioner Suarez will be on a conference call with Tallahasee in "a few couple of minutes" to discuss urgent related issues in District 4 regardind out of control Adult Living Facilities...

ONE FUCKING PROBLEM HERE MAYOR, WHEN YOU MADE YOUR STATEMENT IT WAS AT 2 O'Clock IN THE MORNING!

DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT TALLAHASSEE WAS WAITING TO TALK TO AN INCOHERENT AND IMCOMPENTENT MAYOR LIKE YOU AT THAT TIME? YOU ARE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE STATE. NOBODY TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY AND IT LIES AND FIBS LIKE THIS ON WHY THEY DON'T ASSHOLE.

During the same item (look at stream video 7:33:09) you can here the City Manager profer to the City Commission to allow the Mayor decide the compensation breakdown and selecting the lobbyists as needed. Even though Migoya was kissing up to the Mayor, Corruptalado turned down his suggestion.

The selection of the lobbyist is obviously critical when you have Steve "Fatass" Marin on one side and Armando "Bigass" Gutierrez on the other. Now you know why Carlos Migoya suggested that this should be left up to the Mayor.

Liaroff has an open line to Tallahasses 24/7.

By the way, Steve "Fatass" Marin and Armando "Bigass" Gutierrez would be hired by the prime lobbyists as a subconsultant.

Both Armando and Steve are CLUELESS about Tallahassee.

Reverend Dunn was a racist, is a racist and will always be a racist. His comments where nothing more than pulling out the "race card" on a city employee. Save that bullshit race-card nigga propaganda for your church. You can use it when you need money from ur peeps!

Anonymous said...

Dunn also has no honor or integrity. He lied to the city commission and to the people when he said he would not run if appointed.

"I swear on a Bible and here in front of my parishoners that if appointed I WILL NOT RUN FOR ELECTION IN NOVEMBER (2010).

City of Miami got fined $100,000 for not filing with the IRS on time...

Anonymous said...

They were also fined for 2008! Finance Director Diana Gomez' fault.

Diana Gomez said it would never happen again.

When Carlos Migoya and Marc Sarnoff allow unqualified novices like Pieter Bockweg to write their own $220,000 pay packages the City will continue to face bankruptcy.

Does Regalado have a clue?
