DAY 362 - DOUBLE STANDARD

WE LOVE TOMAS, HE'LL SCREW THE ROOKIES AND HELP THE BRASS.  MORALE IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH!!!
YOU ARE SO MUCH LIKE YOUR FATHER, YOU'RE BOTH FUCKING NUTS!  MIDNIGHT HOOPS LATER?
TOGETHER WE WILL RULE THE GALAXY (AT LEAST FROM N.W. 20th SOUTH)
MANNY? MANNY WHO? I NEVER WORKED FOR A GUY CALLED MANNY!
HOW MANY CITY WORKERS CAN YOU COUNT KIDS?
THESE BACK BACKS ARE MADE IN CHINA BY KIDS YOUR AGE, I LOVE THE CHINESE!
We find it highly ironic that the first document sent to Al Crespo after his challenge to city employees is a memo reminding firefighters about APM 1-81, Limitations on Political Activity.

It exposes the hypocritical double standard of the Tomasito administration where laws are meant for the rest of us while Tomasito and his pals can do whatever they want.

If you oppose the Mayor and his friends, like the firefighters did during their protest of the Miami Marina opening, then you are reminded of the law, the APMs and the repercussions for not following them.

You are ominously told that your supervisors will enforce compliance with these laws.

Meanwhile, if you are a friend of Tomas, these laws don't apply to you.

Mayor's Aide Jose Marrero can ride around in a city issued SUV campaigning for Tomas' daughter without a problem.

Mayor's Aide Jose "Pepe" Fulgueira can attend a bookbag giveaway for the Mayor's daughter, drive there in a city car, and campaign on city time, without a problem.

Mayor's Aide Ada Rojas can attend political rallies, hang out at the FOP in support of the Mayor, and even get arrested, without a problem.

The Mayor himself, who Diana Gomez described as a "24 hour mayor," can use city time and resources to campaign for his daughter, even having a City of Miami policeman drive him and his daughter to polling places on election day, without a problem.

So why should the firefighters be any different?

Either the laws apply to EVERYONE, or they don't apply at all.

But "it's Miami Bitches!"

Double Standard.

Mayor Tomasito, friends, felons, and lobbyists are above the law.

Doesn't lobbyist Armando Gutierrez, Mayor Tomas Regaldo's campaign manager and best friend, have a open door policy to lobby the Mayor for favors for his clients? Isn't it true that many lobbyists have not registered their clients names with the City Clerk?

People, the City of Miami operates as a private country club for the family and friends of Tomas Regalado. Go to the MRC and you will find hundreds of people employed doing nothing, all on the public teet, friends of Regalado.

Armando Gutierrez has become a multi-millionaire several times over doling out public contracts after often questionable bids (like the red light camera fiasco) to companies. When he was questioned by Glenn Marcos, Marcos was replaced by someone who looks the other way.

All of this is happening with the blessing of the Herald who got their payout in the form of the LED billboard deal and our esteemed State Attorney Kathy Fernandez Rundle who does not want to upset Mayor Regalado prior to her running for County Commission.

Crespo is right, it's Miami Bitches, and we're all getting fucked!

The Miami Herald just wants the sale of its vacant lots to go through. The lots are worth $20 mil but the Herald hopes to collect $160 mil for them. 50 story LED billboard towers? No problem. Ruining City skyline? No problem. Corruption throughout government? No problem. Lobbyists running Miami-Dade and Miami governments? No problem.

So why doesn't Braman go after Tomas? Oh yeah, Tomas helps Braman through the CRA. It's all corrupt and only the US ATTORNEY can fix it!

Anonymous said...

Braman has 1,000 employees. He pays them himself. He owns properties that he maintains.

Mark Siffin wants CRA money. Nitin Mowani wants CRA money. They both hired lobbyists to get them money. Tibor Hollo wants CRA money.

Braman should go after Regalado and the corrupt CRAs.

"Braman should go after Regalado and the corrupt CRAs."

This is true, IF Braman were interested in doing the right thing.

But Braman wants revenge against Alvarez, he won't touch his pal Regalado.

The right thing is preventing idiots like Carlos Alvarez and George Burgess and Tomas Regalado from doing any more harm.

Imagine the tax increases they will hit us with next year?

Did Akermann Senterfitt hold a fundraiser for Dunn during work hours at which city employees were present?

Answer: YES

Anonymous said...

It's ok, Dunn was not present at an important city commission vote because he was at a fundraiser. None of these guys give a shit about the people, it's all about their power.

All of you losers should have voted for Joe Sanchez. After all The Mayor did win by a landslide or should I say a flood of votes. You want your voices to be heard, then show up and vote.

How about having total anarchy? Shit if nobody is going to enforce any laws, I might as well do and tell my kids to do whatever the fuck we want to do. I'm tired of competing in a non-level playing field. These politicians and lobbyists continue not to give a shit about the regular citizen. Do you want to know why we are in recession, because your entreprenuer no longer feel it is worth taking risk, because all cards are stacked against him/her. So it is better not to do anything. What we are seeing today is a welfare mentality caused by the inequities created by our local governements, politicians, and lobbyists.

Anon 12:38, I agree with you COMPLETELY! If you want anything done you have to kiss the TomAss and hire Armando, it's how it works in this town.

Al,

I read your letter to the Editor of the Miami Herald. I only hope that you have forwarded same to the U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI.

SEE THE CRESPO GRAM REPORT ABOUT ADA ROJAS. THERE IS NO WAY MAYOR REGALADO OR THE CITY MANAGER WILL FIRE OR SUSPEND HER. SHE FITS RIGHT IN WITH ALL THE OTHER CRIMINALS AND MISFITS!. ESPECIALLY IN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE WHERE ONLY CRIMINALS ARE HIRED.

HEY ADA, WHY DON'T YOU CALL KEITH CARSWELL AND ASK FOR HIS ADVICE. HE WAS ARRESTED FOR A SIMILAR INCIDENT APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO.

OH, BY THE WAY, SINCE YOUR BOSS IS INTICING NORMAN BRAMAN TO RECALL CARLOS ALVAREZ AS A MAYOR, THERE IS NO WAY MAYOR ALVAREZ IS GOING TO ALLOW THE MIAMI-DADE POLICE TO LET GO OF THIS MATTER. THEY ARE GOING TO PUNISH YOUR ASS, BITCH! PUTA MALA!

Good Lord. Tomass has transformed the City into one big pile of shit in one short year. Whoever voted for this moron should be ashamed.

Dishonorable Mayor Retardalado Corruptalado does not know what he is doing. Can anybody tell me what is the difference between City Hall and Prison? None! They both house criminals and convicts.

Anonymous said...

I would love to know wheher Ada Rojas was on city time when the first picture herein was taken. It appears this was taken during Regalado's mayoral campaign. Like Al says, it's "Miami's Bitches".

Harry Gottlieb is 24/7 and therefore always on the job!

Keith Carswell was arrested four years ago. Regalado and Migoya recently promoted him to a position for which he has no experience and gave him a massive raise. Miami.

THE TRUTH SAYS.......

Manny Diaz and Joe Arriola are behind this entire ordeal regarding the billboards. When this all started Diaz was the Mayor and Arriola the City Manager. Some will say that Diaz and Arriola had a fall out and both Arriola and Regalado desires for Diaz's head to be served on a platter. Others will say that no fall out ever took place. It was all in act to keep other shady deals out of the limelight.

In the meantime, Arriola's voice and presence remains in a resounding manner at Miami's City Hall. Once again this can be seen in the hiring of William Plasencia by Commissioner Sarnoff, which was at the behest, of Joe Arriola. Mr. Plasencia serves as Vice-President on the board of Kristi's House. Joe Arriola's son, Eduardo Arriola, also sits on the board, and both of them share the same dais with guess who? Fred Briedemeyer, currently serving as President of the Kristi's House.

IT'S ALL ONE FUCKING BIG HAPPY FAMILY! WHICH BY THE WAY INCLUDES A BLACK STEPCHILD PLAYED BY LARRY SPRING. MR. EDUARDO ARRIOLA ALSO SERVES ON THE BOARD OF TOTALBANK. YES, INDEED, LARRY SPRING'S OLD STOMPING GROUNDS, WHERE HE WAS AN EMPLOYEE OF TOTALBANK AS VICE-PRESIDENT AND CONTROLLER.

Another publicist on the taxpayer payroll?

Yep. Sarnoff makes the taxpayers pay for both his flacks.
