MORE ACCUSATIONS, AND THE PRESS OFFICE REMAINS SILENT

Once again, former Mayor Joe Carollo goes on Spanish language TV and blasts current Mayor Tomas Regalado for taking money from gambling machine operators.

If you do not speak Spanish, you are screwed, because the Miami Herald Mayor's Press Office WILL NOT publish this story!

Carollo reveals the names of those behind gambling machines in Miami and Hialeah, going as far as to state that these interests were involved in meetings at the City of Miami where Mayor Regalado assembled a team of city bureaucrats to discuss ways to implement the gambling machine ordinance.

One of the men involved with the machines and present at the City meeting, Jesus Abreu, has prior arrests for gambling machine violations, and the arresting officer was none other than City of Miami Police Chief, Miguel Exposito.

Could this be yet another reason why Regalado wants Exposito gone?

Carollo reiterates that he IS NOT running for office, but that Regalado's son IS RUNNING for State Representative...

Carollo also addresses allegations that he is working for Magic City Casino, and refutes those allegations.

In fact, Carollo then goes on to say that our pal Angel Zayon (who is paid over $100,000 in salary and benefits), has a T.V. show from 8 to 9 am, whose main sponsor is the Magic City Casino.  The show was given to him because Zayon is Regalado's spokesman.

The sponsorship from Miami City Casino is a payback to Regalado for protection from noise ordinance and other violations.

Carollo finishes with an analysis of Regalados' campaign reports where irregularities appear, with close to $40,000 unaccounted for.

Carollo says Regalado is immune because he controls the press through his contacts, Zayon and the Phantom Mayor Gutierrez, and he has the State Attorney quiet also.

Carollo finishes with a challenge to Regalado, to debate him anywhere!

Of course, NO ONE in the Miami Herald will report this...

Why?

    Cubans do not have a monopoly on corruption my friend, just look at Marc David Sarnoff and Reverend Dunn.

    It's the Herald's fault for not exposing this. It is also sad when the citizens of Miami have to get their news from Take Back Miami and and Al Crespo and not from the "press."

    Why is Tomas Regalado allowing more illegal billboards in Miami? Are bribes being paid?

    Check out the commission agenda. Remember the "mural" on the police department building that was going to raise a couple of hundred thousand for the city this year? It has now morphed into a BILLBOARD! Wonder if Sarnoff's friend from the bid is making money on this one. We know the phantom mayor and Regalado are.

    Yes.
    Regalado and Sarnoff are promoting Clear Channel and it's plan to put LED billboards on the City of Miami Police HQ property. Another massive billboard wasting electricity to distract drivers.

    Check the campaign contribution accounts.

    Kathy Fernandez is bought and paid for my friends. Unless the FEDS step in here and sweep the corruption, it will be business as usual for a long time. Time for everyone to wake up and START VOTING instead of letting the lobbyists Gutierrez and Marin manipulate elections with the absentee ballots.

    Felix Lasarte is a lobbyist for Clear Channel. Who else has Clear Channel hired? Which commissioners take money from them? Take money then vote? Conflict of interest much?

    Steve Marin also has billboard clients and he goes around telling everyone that Suarez and Sarnoff are in his pocket.

    Rev Dunn's neighborhoods are getting overrun by new billboards. Slum and blight happening with his approval. Think Dunn knows he is ruining his district or does he just want the campaign contributions?

    Hey Armando, get your facts straight. Carollo said he is NOT a lobbyist for Magic City casino. Come up with a new excuse.

    Why are people high up in the City of Miami getting federally indicted without a single mention in the media?

    Which City employee or elected official has been indicted?

    Disgraced CFO Larry Spring?
    Ex-Mayor Manny Diaz?

    Tomas Regalado?

    I should have a copy of the indictment some time tomorrow. If my source is correct they were indicted back in November yet somehow it's been kept very quiet. Even worse this person still has her job where she's in charge of all the $ her agency spends!!!!

    Remember the SEC are the same regulators who let Bernie Madoff steal money for 16 years even after they were told he was a fraud.

    I believe Carollo more than I believe Armando Gutierrez and his constant lies.

    If you want to sell igloos, the City of Miami and Regalado will buy them, just make sure you pay Armando Gutierrez the $50,000 "consultant" fee.
