EXPO DROPS THE BOMB: MAYOR'S SON PRODUCER ON CONTROVERSIAL MPD REALITY SHOW

In the fight for his job, Chief Expo dropped a massive bomb on the city commission, revealing that the Mayor's son is a producer in the infamous "Predators" video.

Commissioner Reverend Dunn engaged in a lengthy diatribe on why Expo should be canned that included showing the video, then calling for the Commission to vote "no confidence" on the Chief. 

The motion was quickly canned by Chairman Gort, due to potential legal issues arising from the Charter provisions where the Manager can recommend firing the Chief of Police only for cause.

Then Chief Exposito asked to answer Dunn's charges, a request that Sarnoff supported.

The Chief then said that he never signed off on the video, and that Mayor's son is a producer on the reality show.  Exposito expressed concern that the Mayor's son would profit from the actions of the MPD public agency.

Dunn and Exposito continue the feud and the commission will not take action.

Now, as we said earlier, People Person Manager Tony Crapp is caught in the middle...

STAY TUNED

One of the Mayor's sons is angling to get a fee? Which son? The son still in school?

Which son, both, drive around with the MPA Park Free Pass?

Sarnoff's Boy Toy said...

The Mayor has stated for the record that the Chief is wrong. His son IS NOT involved as a producer in the predator video! Yeah sure. Yeah right. Dunn is an idiot but still Sarnoff's boy!

Why would the Chief lie about Regalado's son being a producer on the video? Everyone knows that Tommy Jr. is a TV producer...

They should have named the show Miami's Finest:Save Our Ship....The one that is quickly sinking. Exposito will need more than a life boat or jacket

Common denominator of ALL of the City snafu F ups is Regalado. Thank you Grace, Thank you Elvis and Thank you to the jackasses who voted for the idiot Mayor Regalado!

RECALL REGATARDO!!!

REGALADO IS A LIAR! said...

[Exposito] began by attacking the video clip, which has been recently taken down from YouTube, saying he had asked its producers to change it because the chief did not like the message it conveyed. Exposito also alleged Regalado's son was involved in the production of the clip and may have provided it to Dunn.

(Regalado later said his son's only involvement was introducing the video's producer to the police department.)

Did Armando Gutierrez get a fee too? Which Regalado son wanted the fee? Both?

Anonymous said...

Gutierrez is involved with the illegal gambling machines.

Tommy Jr. was the producer on the video.

And Jose Regalado (younger son) is the mayor's chief of staff. Maybe he can be city manager one day too.

Grace Solares said...

Regalado is only worth $5,000 and he is an honest man. I would trust him with my life, and wish he could appoint every single commissioner. He is the best mayor Miami has ever had.

Al Crespo said...

Where's Harry Gottlieb. As Film Commissioner at the time, maybe he can shine some light on all this. After all, Harry is now going around claiming that he got fired because he got in the middle of the Regalado, Exposito fight. Now, we know that's not true, but maybe Harry might like to restart his career as inveterate letter writer with an expose of what he knows about this.

Come on harry, inquiring minds want to know?

Anonymous said...

Yes, where is Harry?

Wasn't Regalado supposed to be best Mayor ever in the history of the world and the man that would guide Miami back from the dark days of "Money" Diaz?

Instead, he has plunged us back into the 90s, fighting with the cops, and on the verge of bankruptcy.

So where are Harry, and Grace, and MNU, and Elvis, and all the other assholes now???

Miami, capital of political theater on Thursday

The pickings were almost too good to be true for political junkies in Miami-Dade County and the city of Miami Thursday, as county commissioners played tug of war to set a recall election and city commissioners wrangled over the future of their police chief.

At County Hall, the proceedings were characterized by references to both Mother Teresa and Shakespeare's Julius Caesar as commissioners voted 10-3 to set a March 15 recall election for Mayor Carlos Alvarez and Commissioner Natacha Seijas. "It could come back to you and haunt you one day," Seijas warned her colleagues after she argued unsuccessfully that her election should be scheduled separately from the mayor's.

Meanwhile, at City Hall, Commissioner Richard P. Dunn II led a failed attempt to hold a ceremonial no-confidence vote against embattled Police Chief Miguel Exposito, who has been engaged for weeks in a public power struggle with Mayor Tomás Regalado. Thursday's the drama featured dueling videos, allegations that the mayor's son attempted to slime the police department and cries of national embarrassment. "We are the laughingstock of America," Dunn said.

Chief Exposito accused one of Tomas Regalado's sons of trying to get a production fee for the "COPS" style video that portrayed a violent Miami.

Richard Dunn admitted he tried to get Chief Exposito to get a black man he knew promoted.

Welcome one and all to Miami home of the 24 hour 7 days a week three ring circus. I can only pray that all of America can see what a mess our un-American political leaders are doing to our community, keep up the good work you stupid bastards.......

Expo sux for more than allowing the continued murder of black men... Unsolved rape cases in the Grove (America's safest neighborhood) ... Bungled "arrests" completely unsupported by the state attorney...false and erroneous "investigations" of City employees leading to many firings (thx Alvarez) ... Failure to quell (actually even show up at) a minor riot outside Bayside ... The predator video ...see the pattern ?? Expo couldn't lead a cub scout den ...

Hey the Ringling Bros., Barnum & Bailey Circus is at the American Airlines Arena. Both the Miami-Dade County Meeting to recall Mayor Carlos Alvarez could have taken place in one ring, while the City of Miami public fight between Mayor Tomas "Corruptalado" Regalado and Chief Miguel "Fatass" Exposito could have been held on the other. The Ringmaster could have been Tony "I don't know" Crapp, Jr., Commissioner Dunn could have been dressed up as the clown known "Dumbity Dumbity Dumb Dunn", Commissioner Sarnoff could have been the juggling act, Commissioner Francis "No Balls" Suarez could have been the high wire act, Commissioner Carrollo could have been the gymnsatic or tumbling act with his countless amount of flipping, tumling, and mental gymnastic jargon which always is without substance because he never follows through, and lastly Commissioner Gort. Commissioner Gort could play the "Little Old Midget", going around saying "Charter, Anybody Has a Charter, I don't think we can do anything because of the Charter.

The City of Miami is full of elephants, clowns and other acts. WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!

Miami Police Department EmployeeS says........

So who has assisted Chief Miguel Exposito with setting up his Whistleblower Case with the letters so eloqently written and his preparedness defending his actions
using Mayor Regalado's and Commissioner Dunn's media soundbites to throw it right back into their face and as a reminder that this will only help the Chief when he files his Whistleblower Case, if and when he's fired?

We, several police officers of the Miami Police Department, will tell you. Take a look at the film and from the podium from where Chief Exposito and Mayor Regalado spoke turn your eyes to the right. There is a tall gay in a suit. This is your guy who has helped the Chief, former City Manager Carlos Migoya, Commissioner Sarnoff, and Major Al Alvarez set-up the Mayor.

NAME: GEORGE WYSONG
TITLE: ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY

Carlos Migoya now has a mole at City Hall--Lynn Westall, his former assistant while he was City Manager and lover. While you're accusing the Mayor of abusing his power, you're off abusing your own. Nice.

Richard Dunn wants criminals to shoot first and run away second.

the recall of regalado officially began yesterday!!!!

no confidence in the chief...how about no confidence in the idiot that appointed a guy clearly not qualified!

I'm a Miami Firefighter. If Carlos Migoya is sleeping with Lynn Westhall, than for sure he's getting sloppy seconds. She has slept with countless firefighters. If she would charged them a penny, she would have been a millionaire by now.

At $120,000 per year Lynn Westall is a good value compared to the felons on the payroll.

Lynn Westall best value is in the "BED". She makes $120,000, but she will make you feel like a MILLION DOLLARS.

How about IQ challenged Richard Dunn? Dunn wants the police to stop shooting criminals who aim guns at them. "Too many shootings in Overtown.". Duh, tell the criminals to stop buying guns.

Now's the time to ask Exposito to dish dirt on Regalado's old 'gas card incident'. He seems to be in a talking mood.

Anonymous said...

Regalado used his City issued and taxpayer paid gas card to let his family and friends fill up their tanks. This went on for months until someone got upset with the theft and ratted out Regalado. "Theft. Theft of government assets"
