MAYOR REGALADO'S INACTION ON EXPO JEOPARDIZES CITY

It's been over two weeks since the controversial City of Miami Commission meeting where Reverend Richard Dunn called for the Commission to remove Police Chief Miguel Exposito.

Since then, Chief Exposito has been the subject of several press articles questioning his credibility, including Chuck Rabin explaining away the Mayor's lies about the "predator" video and Dianne Fernandez telling us how scared cops are.

Today, the Miami Herald Mayor's Press Office yet again publishes more negative news on Chief Exposito, making public what everyone already knows, that the Chief and the State Attorney do not see eye-to-eye.

Lost in all this is the role, or lack thereof, of Mayor Tomas Regalado.

In his typical way, the Mayor is using others to do his dirty work.  First it was using Reverend Dunn as his errand house boy, and now it's using his friends in the press.

As Mayor Regalado demonstrated with Chief John Timoney, he knows exactly how to get rid of a police chief.

The Mayor is jeopardizing the safety of the city by not taking decisive action on this matter.

Already it is being rumored that heavy divisions exist within the City of Miami Police department, and we all know the saying about a house divided. 

Meanwhile, we already have six police shootings and violent crime continues to rise.

So why won't Tomas fire Expo?

Either the Mayor really has no balls, or Expo is holding something over the Mayor's head.

How about stuff over both Regalado and Crapp's heads. They are both severely compromised, and rumors have it that Crapp is essentially being blackmailed.

The city we live in: an idiot for mayor, a thug police chief, an incompetent city manager -- all compromised.

And this is the guy Norman Braman holds up as a leader.

Time to recall them all!

Expo has a long history of fighting corruption, Regalado has a long history of conducting banana republic stlye politics. Of course Expo has dirt on the politicians he is not stupid.

Take out Expo in business will continue as usual I want a chief that doesnt get along with city hall.

Blackmail works when you have something to hold over someone's head. If Tomas Regalado and Tony Crapp Jr. are clean, then there is no way you can blackmail them right?

So Expo must have a bag of shit to hold over both Tomas and Tony's head when they won't get rid of them.

Kathy Fernandez Rundle is useless and we need a federal prosecutor to step in.

Reminder.
Commissioner Richard Dunn spent 2 hours at a recent commission meeting that the City Manager fire Chief Miguel Exposito. Why? Because the police were shooting criminals who pointed guns at them.
Update.
2 cops get shot and killed by a criminal who pointed a gun at them and who then shot them. 2 dead cops.

Thank you Richard Dunn.

City facing a $40 Mil deficit. Who is making the decisions on which employees to fire?

Is anyone working?
