Not bad for a guy whose only job has been staffer to Tomas Regalado.
OBSCENE!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd what balls does Regalado have to say this is a "lean" salary, who is he kidding? Get ready for higher taxes!
GREEDY PIG!
ReplyDeleteNo private sector experience. No advanced degree. No life experience.
Not even a City resident.
It does pay to be a male whore!
ReplyDeleteBend over and take it taxpayers, this is what we get for letting the Gutierrez absentee ballot machine determine elections.
ReplyDeleteHardworking Taxpayers get so screwed. There are hundreds of City employees who make double now than they would ever make in the private sector. Look at Tony "novice" Crapp? He makes 400% more now than he'd ever get in the private sector...
ReplyDeleteHe went from $140,000 to $197,000 but this is supposed to be a "lean compensation package."
ReplyDeleteMAYOR REGALADO IS THE MASTER AND TONY CRAPP, JR. IS THE SLAVE!
ReplyDeleteMayor Regalado and Tony Crapp are the masters, we the taxpayers are the slaves.
ReplyDeleteHow many teachers or nurses could we hire with $197,000?
ReplyDeleteInstead it goes to pay this greedy bastard bureaucrat whose only qualification in life is that he knew how to suck Tom Ass the best.
This really makes me sick to my stomach to know that my hard earned tax dollars to go pay his salary and the salary of all the other greedy Miami employees when we are in a recession.
Do you really think any of these people would make anywhere close to a similar salary in the private sector? That is why Tony and Larry cling to their high paying cushy government jobs with their lives.
ReplyDeleteI thought that proposal brought to the school board by the Mayor's daughter was approved only for a feasibility study? This Herald Article says that they already have a contract with MDCPS. What gives??

Homestead may have found tenants for its costly and long-empty baseball stadium.
Council members are once again considering proposals from firms who want to take over the Sports Complex, and turn it into a — hopefully — profitable facility.
Dozens of plans to do that have fallen through since the stadium was built 20 years ago. Since then, taxpayers have paid more than $6 million to maintain it — on top of the $21 million it cost to build.
This time, the stadium has caught the attention of a budding sports media company and a newly formed company led by a former Major League Baseball player, CEOs and attorneys.
Both want to use the 90-acre complex for free at first, in exchange for paying for millions of dollars in renovations and maintenance. Both have also expressed an interest in buying the property after a few years.
La Ley Sports, a broadcasting company formed last spring, envisions Homestead as the headquarters of its operations.
Headed by Spanish TV personality John H. Ruiz, the company airs local high school, middle school and college games. They also track players’ stats and provide them to local media outlets, including The Miami Herald. La Ley landed a contract this month with Miami-Dade County Public Schools System to broadcast its youth sports, and successfully hosted its first baseball tournament last summer.
The company says it can bring thousands of people to similar tournaments year-round. They also promise to let South Florida schools use their fields and access their statistics for free, all while being broadcast nationally and on the Web.
“The Homestead complex would kind of be like an ESPN Wide World of Sports, with the added advantage that the schools ... will be able to play there,” Ruiz told The Miami Herald. “They gain exposure and they can even get a lot of their students to learn how to narrate, edit and keep scores.”
Ruiz said his company would initially spend $2 million just to renovate the stadium. He proposes using the facility rent free, in exchange for taking over the upkeep, which the city says is about $300,000 per year. At the end of five years, Ruiz said his company may offer to buy the stadium for $15 million.

People, the fix is in, the entire family is in on it!
ReplyDeleteHoly shit!!! I need to cozy up to Tomas!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget that on November 2nd 2009, Tony was making less than $100k. He has received increases of over 100% of his salary since Tomas "we are in a financial crisis" Regalado took office. Gotta hand it to them. Miami now has the government it deserves.
ReplyDeleteFinancial crisis my ass.
ReplyDeleteThere is enough money to pay lobbyist Freddy Balsera's sister for a job in thee Mayor's office.
Enough money to pay Tony Crapp Jr.
Enough money to pay Angel Zayon.
And enough money to hand out contracts to all of Armando Gutierrez' clients.
If you are family or friends with Tomas, there is plenty of money for you.
But when he raises fees and lies about not raising taxes, then there is a "fiscal crisis."
Monday's CRA agenda:
ReplyDelete$200,000 no bid construction contracts called grants to Sarnoff's friends.
Bockweg, Bert, Karsh new raises and benefits, cell phones, meals, travel expenses, extra vacation time, car allowances . . .
Firefighters, police, general employees the budget's fixed come and get it.
What is going on!!!
ReplyDeleteRaises and more perks (lunches, travel allowances?) car allowances, more vacation, salries.
Did the City just win some money at the gambling machines on Flagler Street?
I guess Marc, Koteles, and Dunn just love a palm full of hair gel.
ReplyDelete"A Cuban bodega in the '50s would have better accountability."
ReplyDeleteSo says Miami City Commissioner Tomás Regalado.
I always love how Tomas was the first to criticize the administrations of Mayor Carollo and Diaz, using one of his trademark sarcastic verbal jabs.
How quickly the press forgets that Regalado was always at the forefront willing to publicly mock fake concern over spending, while never really providing alternatives of his own.
Now that Regalado is mayor, this is what we get, and this is what we deserve.

ReplyDeleteA whois search of that site reveals that it belongs to Chief Blom's son Aaron.
Read the comments and fallout on leoaffairs.
Tony "from the closet" Crapp was making $48,000 or so working in Regalado's district closet ie office. Then he was drastically overpaid. Very overpaid. With no private sector experience he now makes $197,000?
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Miami's credit rating is in the toilet.
The level of corruption at the city has become intolerable, and employees are going to start to talk. Someone has to come out and break the silence to tell the people just exactly how Regalado and Armando Gutierrez are robbing the city blind.
ReplyDeleteStop spreading lies about Mayor Regalado, Commissioner Dunn, Tony Crapp, and Armando Gutierrez. They are all fine public servants who have the best interest of the City in mind.
ReplyDeleteAll these lies are part of a giant plan by Manny Diaz and Fidel Castro to make sure Mayor Regalado fails.
Tomas is poor, he is only worth $5,000, not like "Money" Diaz. And Tomas cannot afford to hang out with the Miami Heat and celebrities like he is the mayor of Beverly Hills.
Tomas is also an honest man and I trust him, I also knows he has no idea what an executive producer is.
So much corruption.
ReplyDeleteAre there any watchdogs at the City?
Norman Braman.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, he has a hard on for Alvarez and says Tomas Regalado is a great leader.
All that mullah and he can't even take care of the biggest problem Tomasito has, the Mexican sergeant that pretends to be the chief of police. I will take half of that salary and fire the fat bastard one second after I take the oath of office.
ReplyDeleteHere in the City of Miami dead people seem to have magical powers of casting their ballots, that being the case I say lets elect a dead person Mayor of Miami, Even a dead person could do a better job than our current Mayor is doing. However, lets not forget who put him in office and hope they wake up and realize how much damage they have caused and do something positive for all of Miami next election.
ReplyDeleteI felt a sense of hope and peace sweep over me as I witnessed Tomás Regalado being sworn in as Mayor today.
ReplyDeleteThe part in his speech about accountability and ethics really got to me.
Watch on Monday:
ReplyDeleteBillboard 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, 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
And the $10 million from the CRA to the City?
ReplyDeleteBillboard Bockweg wants a minimum of 4 weeks vacation.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to fiscal responsibility?
Sarnoff slips his pal $200,000 in CRA funds for construction and calls it a grant to avoid bidding. Dunn and Koteles hold his pants while Overtown is screwed again.
ReplyDelete18:46, when will the residents of overtown realize how bad the city is fucking them? For those citizens starving in the ghettos of our fair city, take solace in knowing the money your CRA had set aside to help rid your district of blight and bring new jobs is being used for the construction of that bullshit tunnel.
ReplyDeleteThe black community needs a real leader not some house negro that jumps when his white masters tell him to do so.
How about the house negro and Sarnoff approving more pay, more vehicle allowance money, more benefits, more cell phone allowance money, more vacation time, more expense accounts... for Overtown CRA staffers who live in Miami Beach and Aventura? Tax dollars being wasted much?
ReplyDeleteAnother black man shot down in the city by cops!!
ReplyDeleteCRA staffers Billboard Bockweg, Gonzalez and Karsh Hoover (vacuum) all the money meant for bricks and mortar redevelopment.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing I like to add. Why wasn't this project that might have at the very some sort of liability to the City reviewed by the City Attorney and approved by the City Commission.
ReplyDeleteMayor Regalado, Chief Exposito, Carlos Migoya, Tony Crapp, Jr. and for the rest of the City Commission. WHO IN THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE FOOLING?
FOR I AM NO CHUCK RABIN WHO WALKS AROUND WITH HIS PANTS DOWN!
Any project that adds grass and vitality to 6 acres of Park West is worthwhile. (Remember Nitin Mowani and Miami World Center? They already lost 60% of their properties.) Hopefully the CRA clowns will not muck it up.
ReplyDeleteMiami World Center lost its properties to foreclosure auctions.
ReplyDeleteGov Scott's salary is only $130,000. Gov. Scott spent 30 years in the private sector. (By the way, Gov Scott refuses to accept his Florida salary.)
ReplyDeleteTony the Novice makes $197,000? WTF.
