MORE $$$ THAN OBAMA'S CHIEF OF STAFF: TONY HITS THE MOTHERLOAD!

With the bitch slapping going on between Chief Expo and Mayor Regalado, we almost forgot to tell you, Tony Crapp hit the motherload!

More money than Obama's Chief of Staff William Daley.

More money than U.S. Senator Marco Rubio.

More money than General David Petraeus.

Mayor Tomasito always says Miami is a "poor city" and that we are in a "financial crisis."


But the City always has money to pay its bureaucrats!

$185,000 base salary.

$800 monthly car allowance.

$200 cell phone allowance.

Plus health insurance, vacation and sick day goodies, and other benefits.

But the Herald take the spin...

"Commissioners set Crapp's annual salary, excluding benefits, at $185,000. That is about 16 percent less than the $220,000 a year that the city paid Migoya's predecessor, Pete Hernandez."


And to think, Tony only has about 16 percent less experience than Pete!

These are benefits that are only dreamed of in the private sector.

But Mayor Regalado talks the fiscal responsibility talk:

"It's a lean compensation package."

Yeah Mayor, tell that to all the unemployed and underemployed people in the city, asshole!

What BALLS to pay this clown $185,000+ of MY tax dollars!!

And who the hell gets a $200 phone allowance anyhow?

Norman Braman is a putz, he needs to focus on the real recall, REGALADO.

This is a crime.

Tony Crapp would be making at best $36,000 per year in the private sector. With no benefits. He has nothing to offer except his foolish grin. What's that worth?

Mayor Regalado is a fool.

No no, Tony Crapp and Mayor Regalado are geniuses. They figured out how to be handsomely paid for being incompetent.

The electorate and taxpayers of the City of Miami are the fools.

Top 5 poorest city in the nation, and we continue to allow this taxpayer abuse.

Harry, Larry, Angel, Tony, and so many others, getting paid with our tax dollars.

Regalado needs to be recalled.

I'm ready to start a drive to recall the Mayor and all of the Commissioners. This is comparable to the City of Belle, CA.

Mayor Regalado eres un maricon! Like Lebron said Karma is a bitch. Whether it is you, your kids, or grandkids you will pay. So many innocent people that you have hurt, so many innocent lives you have destroyed, but yours will come soon....you sonna of a bitch!

The city has started to retaliate against staffers it feels are to open with reporters/bloggers.

I work in finance the retaliation has started.

Oh just wait, the Gestapo style crackdown is coming.

Regalado learned from the best, and just because he is not in an olive green suit and beard, don't think he doesn't think the same way...

It has been quite a few months now, will we (as promised) ever hear why Miami for Change was shut down?

Hey, focus! Tony Crapp makes more than everyone on Governor Rick Scott's staff and every member of Obama's staff!!!

President Obama has a salary cap of $177,000 for the 1,000 employees at the White House. Many White House employees have multiple graduate degrees and many have decades of private sector experience. Several White House staffers gave up $1 mil plus salaries to work for Obama. Tony Crapp making $185,000? No private sector experience. Total disrespect to the taxpayers. No wonder Miami is going bankrupt.

Anonymous said...

But the Herald thinks it's great, he makes 16% less than Hernandez, so Tomas is a fiscal genius!

Anonymous said...

What is even worse is that both Larry Spring and Johnny Martinez makes $175,000 each!

Yes folks, Uncle Tom-Larry Spring and "El Maricon"-Johnny Martinez makes that much money!!!!

Anonymous said...

Martinez is not a maricon ...

Martinez is not gay, but D2 Commish is!

CFO who can't balance a budget Larry Spring has a "compensation package" that exceeds $250,000. Under Spring's watch the City loses $500,000 to $1 mil per week.

MIAMI, FLORIDA (“ARENA SITE”);

Who is the contractor? Anbody bidding on this?

Construction contractracts & parties for friends, Outrageous Salaries, Bogus Perks for unqualified Toadies.

Last minute Agendas - transparency?

This violates Florida Statutes - bid rigging.

AND more


WHEREAS, the CRA Executive Director currently accrues two-weeks paid vacation and seven paid
sick days annually; and
WHEREAS, to be more in-line with executive level benefits available in the City of Miami,

The
Board of Commissioners wishes to increase the vacation and sick-day accrual rate of the Executive
Director of the CRA; as follows:

Vacation 160 hours/year{1}
Sick 8 hours/month{1}

Section 3. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption



Didn't the City already settle this? Will the police and firefighters be getting their benefits and salary adjusted?

Backdoor, scummy, machinations, from our Commissioners.

The last round was just for show. Of course city finances have gotten so much better lets give raises and perks.

Lets start with the unqualified.

I don't know or care if D2 Commish is gay, bi, or otherwise .. And is nobody's business anyway ... But I do care if he is breaking laws ... Especially his little carrot- topped minion - Ron "Ronald McDonald" Nelson ...

CRA Director Pieter "Billboard" Bockweg is a greedy pig. With no experience in development or business he spends his time coming up with schemes to increase his own compensation. He is unqualified yet he wants more pay and benefits?

Anonymous said...

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER.......

This anonymous person who works in this Office can tell you that we all call Johnny Martinez, "EL MARICON".
He never tells the Mayor or any of the Commissioners "No". It is like they tell him to bend over and he quickly unbuckles his pants. The best part of my job is seeing him in action. He's such a backstabbing weasel. You don't understand how many times after speaking with Mayor Regalado he has picked up the phone to inform Carlos Migoya and Commissioner Sarnoff about the Mayor's request.

By the way, Johnny, you promised me a promotion. I'm still waiting for it. If I don't get my promotion soon I'm going to ask my boyfriend Orlando Toledo to find me a position in his Department. I just like feeling Orlando's receding hairline. It is sooooo ssseeeexxxyyyy!

Tony "My prior experience was I managed 3 felons from a closet" Crapp getting $185,000 per year?
In a recession? Criminal.

It's $197,000 when you add in the car and phone allowance.

Where is the recall?

Idiots.

How about that Billboard Bockweg? He wants more money too. As usual, the CRA taxpayers get hosed.

Anonymous said...

Billboard Bockweg wants 4 weeks paid vacation a year?
Plus paid sick time? Maybe he should just stop smoking!

Who gets 4 weeks paid vacation in the private sector?

Anonymous said...

Bockweg wants repayment of the $1,318 Dunn tried to swindle for him from the CRA without board authorization waived, car allowances for him and toadies Bert and Karsh, more money for meals, money for travel, more sick and vacation time.

All this after the commissioners made a big show of how they were cutting expenses.

Well, Carrollo and Suarez were you lying then or now. Dunn and Sarnoff, we won't even ask

Anonymous said...

Don't forget $200,000 in construction funds given to Sarnoff's friend styled as a grant to avoid bidding. Overtown gets screwed again.

What do you expect from 5 crooks.

Did Gort ever repay the loan he got from the City to open a restaurant on SW 2nd Ave? Yeah, the restaurant closed shortly after the City money changed hands.

Which 5 crooks?

Why only 5?
